Avoid contact with the fertiliser and other material
You will most likely get into contact with the fertiliser and other material
you may wish to spread while filling, adjusting and testing the
spreader. Wear protective clothing and safety gloves, read the safety
instructions provided by the supplier and follow their directions.
Contact with these materials could cause physical harm.
Be careful that nothing gets jammed
It is easy for parts to get jammed while adjusting and checking the
spreader.
Work safely while checking and adjusting:
•
switch the tractor off and remove the key from the ignition,
•
engage the parking brake of the tractor,
•
wait for all machine parts to come to a standstill before you start
with the adjustments,
•
wear protective clothing, such as safety gloves and shoes,
•
carefully follow the instructions given.
Friction with these materials could cause physical injury.
If the form of the spreading pattern is not the same on the left and on
the right and the difference in the application rate is more than 3% it
could be caused by a difference in position of the discharge point with
regards to the spreading disc between the left and right sides. The
distance between the inside of the rope and the opening of the
discharge bushing must be 109 mm.
Perform the first checks as described in
→
paragraph »Check the settings of the dosing mechanism« on
page 132.
Switch the tractor off, remove the key from the ignition and engage
the parking brake of the tractor.
Set the lever with which the discharge point is set for the arrow to
point to
V
.
Attach the rope as per the illustration.
Measure the distance between the inside of the rope and the
opening of the discharge bushing carefully.
If the measured distance is more or less than 109 mm, do the
following:
Turn the top nuts on the 4 fastening bolts with which the dosing
mechanism is attached to the hopper a few times to loosen them.
Turn the dosing mechanism until the distance between the inside
of the rope and the opening of the discharge bushing is 109 mm.
Check the position of the dosing mechanism with regards to the
agitator axle (see the previous paragraph). The distance between
the agitator axle and the ring must be the same on all sides.
Fasten the nuts on the 4 fastening bolts again without moving the
dosing plates again.
