8.6 Using the fertiliser chart
8.6.1 Information on the fertiliser chart
The values in the fertiliser chart have been determined on the RAUCH test system.
The used fertiliser materials have been purchased from the fertiliser manufactur-
ers or from dealers. Experience shows that, due to storage, transportation and
other reasons, the fertiliser materials at your disposal - even with identical speci-
fication - might exhibit a different spreading behaviour.
This means that the machine settings specified in the fertiliser charts may result
in a different spreading volume and a poorer fertiliser distribution.
Therefore, observe the following instructions:

Always check the actual spreading volume discharged by performing a cali-
bration test (see chapter B.6 of the corresponding type of machine).

Check the working width of the fertiliser distribution with a practice test kit (op-
tional equipment).

Only use fertilisers listed in the fertiliser chart.

Please contact us if you need to use a fertiliser type that is not included in the
fertiliser chart.

Observe the setting values exactly. Even a slightly incorrect setting may ad-
versely affect the spreading pattern.
When using urea, particular attention is to be paid to the following:

Due to a great number of fertiliser imports, urea is available in a wide variety
of different qualities and grain sizes. It may therefore be required to adjust the
settings of the spreader.

Urea is more sensitive to wind and absorbs more moisture than other fertilisers.
8.6.2 Settings as per fertiliser chart
You can determine the mounting height, fertiliser drop point, metering slide
adjustment, spreading disc type and PTO speed for an optimum spreading from
the
fertiliser chart depending on the fertiliser type, working width, application
rate, forward speed and fertilisation method.
NOTICE
The operator is responsible for making the correct spreader adjustments according
to the fertiliser material in use.
The manufacturer of the machine points out specifically that they do not accept
any liability for subsequent damage resulting from incorrect spreader adjustments.
