To be done before spreading
62
Discharge point
It is necessary to correctly set the discharge point in order to obtain a
good spreading pattern and the correct working width. The point at
which the granules or seeds come onto the spreading disc can be
changed by setting the discharge point. The position of the discharge
point, in combination with the vane combination, PTO shaft
revolutions (RPM) and the flowrate determine the spreading pattern.
The discharge point can be set between positions F to Z.
The correct settings are determined on the basis of the selected
application rate and the required driving speed. The position that
would most likely provide the best spreading pattern is given in the
third column,
Discharge Point
, of the spreading chart.
Always check the accuracy of the discharge point by conducting
spreading pattern tests (tray test).
→
see instructions in paragraph »Check the spreading pattern (tray
test)« on page 80.
The lever for adjusting the discharge point is located on the rear of the
dosing mechanism.

Switch the tractor off, remove the key from the ignition and engage
the parking brake of the tractor.

Pull the hand-grip of the lever out.

Set the handle until the arrow on the hand-grip indicates the
desired position.

Let go of the hand-grip and check if the handle is locked.

Set the lever on the other spreading disc in the same way to the
same position.

The following will be achieved with the fertiliser and spreading chart
from the example:
→
See paragraph »Example« on page 58.
The advised discharge point with an application rate of 300 kg/ha with
a working width of 18 meters and a driving speed of 8 km/h: M.

Pull the hand-grip of the lever out.

Set the hand-grip on the handle so the arrow points to
M
.

Let go of the hand-grip and check if the handle is locked.
