Working from the left hand side
1.
Set the
feed motor ON/OFF toggle switch
to the
lower
ON (I) position
2.
Set the
LHS/RHS feed motor toggle switch
to the
low-
er RHS OFF position - NOTE -
remember to set this switch to
the mid position after calibration to turn both feed motors ON
for in field work.
3.
Set the
feed motor speed range toggle switch
to
mid
(Mid Range) position
(if the initial calibration)
4.
Set the
feed motor speed rotary dial
to position 6
(=
mid speed setting 18 of 36 if the initial calibration)
5
. Set the
main power ON/OFF – disc ON/OFF toggle switch
to
upper OFF position
6
. Set the
disc speed rotary dial
to
position 1 –
this sets the system in calibrate mode, ready for the catch
and weigh test (as below) –
NOTE -
remember to increase this disc speed after calibration towards position 12,
when spreading in the field – check spread the spread width is satisfactory
NOTE
The discs should not be turning, and the RHS feed motor should not turn.
NOTE
The RHS Fan Jet can be calibrated if desired by setting the LHS/RHS feed motor toggle switch to the
upper LHS OFF position, and repeat holding down the spring loaded calibrate switch – this time only the RHS
feed motor should turn.
Generally it is not required to do this as both Fan Jets will meter the same amount of product provided they are
fitted with the same feed rolls – so calibrating just one Fan Jet (the LHS normally) for full rate at half width and
ensuring the other has the same feed rolls should be satisfactory
CATCH AND WEIGH TEST
FEED MOTOR SETTINGS AND SPEEDS (RPM)
At this stage only put a small amount of product in the calibration chute
- do not fill in case the feed
rolls have to be changed to achieve the rate (kgs/min
) When you are ready to begin, use the spring load-
ed Calibrate Switch to start and stop the feed motor.
CALIBRATE SWITCH
Hold down the spring loaded switch mounted on the lower rear of
the LHS Fan Jet chassis for a couple of seconds – “HOLD DOWN
SWITCH TO CALIBRATE” – the LHS feed motor should start to rotate
and turn the feed block in the calibra on chute as long as the switch
is held down – check this works correctly – release the switch to stop
1.
Run the feed motor for the required time.
2.
Weigh the collected amount in kilograms
3.
Refer to the calculated amount for your rate/
width/speed required
(see page 17)
4.
Use the High, Mid or Low speed range, and the
speed dial to increase or decrease the rate accord-
ingly and repeat the procedure until the correct
output for your machine width and forward speed is
reached. NOTE SETTINGS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
5.
Change the feed roll configura on if required to
achieve the applica on rate in the mid range motor
speed if possible - rather than running very slow or
fast – this allows a greater chance of the rate being
changed to match increase or decreases in forward
speed in the field.
If you do not run the catch test for 1 minute – for
example only 30 seconds – then you only need to
collect half the amount indicated in the calibra on
formula.
