Activities before spreading
137
Start the tractor.
Close all the doors and windows in the cabin.
Switch the control box on.
Press on the input field for the required application rate.
Key in the new value on the popup keyboard.
The new value is on the screen of the keyboard.
Confirm it or cancel it with the OK or cancel key.
The working width and the selected driving speed, if the tractor is
equipped with a speedometer, are entered in a similar manner.
It is recommended that an application rate of at least 250 kg/ha is en-
tered with the selected driving speed.
Switch the automatic calibration off by pressing the manual/auto
key in the main screen. A hand will begin to flash in the screen on
the right below the spreader.
Engage the PTO shaft and set the RPM of the spreading discs as
given in the relevant spreading chart.
Drive along the tracks and open the dosing units a few metres
before you drive over the first bucket in the middle by pressing the
start key.
Only stop spreading after you have driven at least one working
width over the troughs (e.g. 18 or 24 metres). The spreader in
particular distributes approximately as far to the rear and side.
Close the left dosing units by pressing the stop key.
Drive back in the next track, over trough 7. Maintain the same
distance when opening and closing the dosing units. Keep to the
same driving speed and PTO shaft rpm!
If you have set an application rate of less than 250 kg/ha, drive to
and fro over the same tracks in order to collect sufficient fertiliser
in the troughs for a good comparison.
Maintain the same distance when opening and closing the dosing
units.
Keep to the same driving speed and PTO shaft rpm!
