Adjusting the guide plates (alphabetic scale):
On the alphabetic scale (K to P, [6]), the guide plates [3] are adjusted to the re-
spective type of fertiliser and type of fertilisation (limited border or full border
spreading).
1. Loosen both adjustment nuts [4], [5] using the adjustment lever of the machine.
2. Move The sliding part [1] with its display arrow to the letter specified in the
calibration chart.
 The arrow is exactly above the specified letter.
3. Tighten the adjustment nut near the alphabetic scale [5] using the adjustment
lever of the machine.
Adjusting the guide plates (numeric scale):
The numeric scale [2] is basically used for fine adjustments of the working width.
1. Adjust the corresponding numeric value at the indentation of the sliding part
[1] by moving the guide plates [3] to the outer end.
2. Fix the overall adjustment unit with the adjustment nut [4] on the outside.
 The adjustment example in figure 10.2 corresponds to the full border
spreading setting [8] for granulated urea, for a working width of 12 m = M–4
[6], [2].
If the symbol - - is entered into the TELIMAT T1 calibration chart (sticker), the fol-
lowing applies:

Full border spreading with TELIMAT is not possible, as the spreading pattern
for field spreading is already similar to the spreading pattern for full border
spreading. This also applies for full border spreading from 20 to 24 m.
NOTICE
Limited border spreading for working widths of 20-24 m
For an optimal spreading pattern, it is recommended that the material quantity
be reduced by 30% on the border spreading side .
