8 Spreading work
8.1 General information
The modern technology and design of the machine and exhaustive, continuous
testing in the factory's spreading material test facilities ensure that you will have
a perfect spreading pattern.
Our machines are manufactured with utmost diligence. However, deviations in
the application rate or possible faults cannot be excluded, even when complying
with the intended use.
This may be caused by the following:

Changes in the physical characteristics of the fertiliser due to running agitator
during transportation (e. g. deviating grain size distribution, varying density,
grain form and surface, humidity).

Clumping and moist spreading material.

Wind drift: In the case of excessive wind speed, cancel the spreading work.

Clogging or bridging, e. g. due to foreign bodies, bag residue or moist spread-
ing material...
 Uneven ground.
 Wearing down of wear parts, e. g. agitator, agitator fingers, spreading vanes,
outlet.

Damages caused by external influences

Inadequate cleaning and care to prevent corrosion.

Wrong forward speeds.

Incorrect machine settings.
Make sure that the machine is correctly set. Even a minor deviation from the cor-
rect setting may significantly affect the spreading pattern. Therefore, before each
operation and during operation, check the correct functioning of your machine
and ensure that the application accuracy is sufficient.
Hard spreading materials particularly increase the wear of the spreading vanes.
Claims for damages other than for damage to the machine itself will not be ac-
cepted.
This also means that no liability will be accepted for damage resulting from
spreading errors.
NOTICE
Cleaning after each use of the machine prevents deposits at the bottom of the
hopper. You thereby reduce the wear of the agitator fingers and increase the
operational safety of your machine.
