Run the spreading test with the open position that has been decided on for
operation:

8.5.3 Running three passages
Layout:

Width of testing area: 3 x tramline distance

Length of testing area: 60 to 70 m

The three tracks must be parallel. If you are running the test without drilled
tramlines, the paths must be measured using a tape measure and marked
(e.g. with rods).

NOTICE
If the quantity collected in the collecting vessels is insufficient, repeat the pas-
sage.
Do not change the adjustment of the metering slides.
NOTICE
We recommend the layout plan up to a spreading width of 24 m . A layout plan
for greater working widths is attached to the PPS5 practise test kit.
