11.8.2 Mounting the spreading discs
Mounting the spreading discs
ü The tractor engine is switched off and locked to prevent unauthorized starting.
ü Mount the left spreading disc on the left side in the direction of travel and the right spreading disc
on the right side in the direction of travel.
○
Make sure that the left and right spreading discs are not confused.
○ The following procedure is for mounting the left-hand spreading disc.
○ Mount the right-hand spreading disc according to these instructions as well.
u
Put the left spreading disc on the left spreading disc hub.
The spreading disc must be placed level on the hub (if required, remove dirt).
The pins on the spreading disc holders have different positions on the left and right side. The
correct spreading disc is the one that fits precisely into the spreading disc holder.
u
Carefully position the cap nut (do not tilt).
u Tighten the cap nut with approx. 38 Nm.
The cap nuts have an internal locking mechanism that prevents them from coming loose. The
locking mechanism must be noticeable while tightening, otherwise, the cap nut is worn and must
be replaced.
u Check that there is clearance between the spreading vanes and the outlet by turning the
spreading discs by hand.
11.9 Checking the spreading disc flat spring
NOTICE!
Danger of material damage: Do not over-bend the flat spring
The flat spring tension must reliably lock the main and extension vanes onto the spreading disc. If
the flat spring is over-bent, then it loses the tension required to secure the spreading vane.
If the spring tension is too low, the locking bolt disengages and can cause significant material
damage.
u
When setting the spreading vane position, carefully press the locking bolt into any positioning
hole.
u
If the spring tension is too low, replace the flat spring immediately.
