Replacing agitator
axle seal
Avoid contact with the fertiliser and other materials
You are likely to come in contact with the fertiliser or other materials
that you want 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 injury.
Be careful that nothing gets jammed
It is easy to get jammed in while adjusting and checking the spreader.
Work safely while checking and adjusting by:
•
switching off the electronic control system,
•
switching the tractor off and removing the key from the ignition,
•
engaging the parking brake of the tractor,
•
waiting for all machine parts to come to a standstill before starting
with the adjustments,
•
wearing protective clothing, such as safety gloves and shoes,
•
in order to perform only the described action carefully.
Being jammed in could cause physical injury.
The agitator axle is equipped with a plastic seal to prevent fertiliser
granule loss along the agitator axle. The seal must be replaced every
season, and after every 100 machine hours. Only work on a clean
machine with an empty hopper.
Set the fine application lever to the normal dosing setting.
Start the tractor and engage the control box.
Press the key switch in the main screen to go to the ‘Curve
Calibration’ screen.
Press the empty hopper key to go to the screen for emptying the
hopper.
Press the arrow key until you reach the ‘empty hopper’ button to
empty the hopper on both sides at the same time.
Press the OK key to start emptying the hopper. Both actuators now
open to their maximum.
Wait until both actuators are completely extended and the dosing
units are completely open.
Place the machine on the ground or on firm supports on a firm,
level ground.
Switch the electronic control system and the tractor off, remove the
key from the ignition and engage the parking brake of the tractor.
