Activities before spreading
129
I
NDICATION
Most types of fertilisers attract water and can thereby form large
chunks. These chunks can block the spreader or distort the spreading
pattern.
•
When working under moist conditions, use a hopper cover that
closes well.
•
Do not spread without a hopper cover under moist conditions.
•
Never leave the fertiliser for a long period of time in the spreader.
Chunks can also be formed through moisture in the air.
•
Always clean the spreader well after use, including the dosing
openings and the discharge bushings.
Loading height
You can fill the spreader to the desired levels after it has been put in
place. It is recommended that the machine be loaded while it is lifted
10 cm above the soil. If no activities need to be performed on top of
the hopper, the height can be adjusted with the automatic filling
system.
A load platform must be used if the distance between the hopper rim
and the ground is more than 1250 mm while filling manually or with
large bags. The filling height is given in
section »Technical specifications« on page 44.
Procedure
If a fixed loading platform is used, drive the machine to the
platform. The distance between the machine and the platform must
be a maximum of 200 mm.
Lower the machine to the desired level. The machine must not rest
on the ground, but rather be lifted a minimum distance of 10 cm!
Ensure that the dosing units are closed.
Switch the tractor and the control box off, remove the key from the
ignition and engage the parking brake of the tractor.
Close all the doors and windows in the cabin.
Place wheel chocks in front of the wheels of the tractor.
If a mobile loading platform is being used, place the loading
platform at the spreader so that there would be a maximum
distance of 200 mm between the two.
Open the hopper cover.
Check if the sieve is closed and secured.
Fill the machine to the desired level with the correct tools. Fill the
hopper halves to the same level so that the both of them will
become empty at the same time.

NDICATION
Work carefully while filling and take the regulations that apply to
working conditions into consideration! Make sure no objects or tools
fall into the hopper. as it could block or damage the spreader!
Close the hopper cover.
