Troubleshooting
212
Great amounts
of dust while
spreading
Average quality of fertiliser (too soft,
broken, mixed types) or incorrect storage
Contact your supplier. Update the storage
area. Spread with smaller working widths
as far as possible 100,
102,
108
Rpm of the spreading discs too high Check the PTO shaft rpm. 111
Agitator grinds. Dosing units closed for
too long with the PTO shaft running
Switch the PTO shaft off immediately after
closing the dosing units. Check the
agitator for damage
Right agitator grinds
Spreading disc not disconnected while
border spreading with the border
spreading plate
165
Spreading
tracks visible
among the
crops
Average quality of fertiliser. 80% of the
granules must have diameters between
2.0 - 4.75 mm
Determine the distribution and spread
with small working widths if possible 102,
108
Blend of fertiliser types used. A blend can
become unmixed again or types of
fertiliser could contain varying spreading
qualities
Check the type, pattern and distribution.
Spread with smaller working widths as far
as possible
100,
102
New type of fertiliser spread with the
same settings as the previous type.
Quality varies greatly between types Determine the characteristics of the
fertiliser, look for the relevant spreading
chart and set the spreader again 100
105
Use of wrong spreading chart
Determine the characteristics of the
fertiliser and select the correct spreading
chart
100,
103
Working with unfavourable weather
conditions: high levels of humidity, rain,
heat or high wind speeds (> 5 m/sec)
Only work under good weather conditions
Incorrect overlapping of the spreading
pattern Always set out the driving tracks before
spreading
156
Horizontal/vertical settings of the machine
not correctly adjusted
Check if the machine is standing level
horizontally and vertically, unless the
spreading chart indicates otherwise 100,
111,
150
Spreader not set to the correct height
Check and set to the correct working
height (75 cm above the crops or soil) and
inclination
150,
111
Working width incorrect
Check the discharge points (left and right)
and the PTO shaft rpm 110,
111
Worn or missing vanes Check the vanes 108
Tyre pressure on the left and right of the
tractor not the same
Check the tyre pressure
Reduce the spreading disc rpm with the
loss at the safety clutch Check if the spreading discs are turning
smoothly. Check the safety clutch 189,
