Mounting the spreading discs
ü The tractor engine is switched off and locked to prevent unauthorized starting.
ü Mount the left spreading disc on the left side in the direction of travel and the right spreading disc
on the right side in the direction of travel.
○
Make sure that the left and right spreading discs are not confused.
○ The following procedure is for mounting the left-hand spreading disc.
○ Mount the right-hand spreading disc according to these instructions as well.
u Put the left spreading disc on the left spreading disc hub.
The spreading disc must be placed level on the hub (if required, remove dirt).
The pins on the spreading disc holders have different positions on the left and right side. The
correct spreading disc is the one that fits precisely into the spreading disc holder.
u Carefully position the cap nut (do not tilt).
u
Tighten the cap nut with approx. 38 Nm.
The cap nuts have an internal locking mechanism that prevents them from coming loose. The
locking mechanism must be noticeable while tightening, otherwise, the cap nut is worn and must
be replaced.
u Check that there is clearance between the spreader vanes and the outlet by turning the spreading
discs by hand.
7.4.5 Adjusting the drop point
With the selection of the spreading disc type, a particular range for the working width is defined. By
altering the drop point, the working width can be accurately set and adjustments to different fertilizer
types can be made.

Spreading unit with manual drop point adjustment (VariSpread V8)
The drop point is set using the top scale arc [1] on the fertilizer spreading unit.
• Adjustment towards smaller numbers : The fertilizer is dropped earlier. This results in spreading
patterns for smaller working widths.
• Adjustment towards larger numbers : The fertilizer is dropped later and is spread more towards
the outside in the overlap zones. This results in spreading patterns for larger working widths.
