2.0 Setting the mounting height
Set the machine to the operating height in the field to be spread with a filled
hopper exactly to the settings given in the setting chart. The mounting height
is measured from the spinner discs front- and rear-edge each to the surface
of the ground.
2.1 Normal fertilising
The mounting heights (in cm) stated are valid for normal fertilising. For
normal fertilising the swivel blades of the spinner vanes are usually
in a „downward“ position (Fig. 1).
For fertilising in spring when the crop has grown already to a height of 10 -
40 cm, one half of the grown height should be added to the mounting
heights stated (e. g. 80/80). Thus at a plant height of 30 cm = mounting
height 95/95 should be set. In taller crop heights the machine should be set
up according to the settings mentioned for late top dressing (para. 2.2). When
crops are very dense (rape) the fertiliser spreader should be set with the
mounting height stated (e. g. 80/80) above the crop height. Should this still
be impossible due to a higher plant height, the machine should also be set
up according to the settings for late top dressing (para. 2.2).
2.2 Late top dressing
For late top dressing the swivel blades of the vanes should be
swivelled in the „up“ position without slackening the nuts and
without the use of any tools (Fig. 2). This will raise the throwing curve
of the fertiliser.
The mounting height of the spreader should be set in the crop by raising the
tractor’s three-point-linkage to such a height that the gap between the ears
of the corn and the spinner discs measures approx. 5 cm (2 inches) (Fig.
3). If necessary the lower link pins may be mounted in the lower link holes
provided in the machine’s main frame.
