7.1 Adjusting the application rate
The spreading quantity is adjusted though the metering slide opening.
Figure 7.1: Scale for the adjustment of the spreading quantity
For this purpose, move the metering slide control lever to the position you have
previously found in the fertiliser chart. This is the stopper position to which the
metering slide control lever is moved mechanically prior to the spreading drive.
 Moving the lever to the right, in the direction of higher values, opens the me-
tering slide.
 Moving the lever to the left, in the direction of lower values, closes the meter-
ing slide.

at which the spreading material flows out in an unob-
structed manner.
