Adjusting the mounting height
WARNING
Danger of crushing and / or impact for persons behind / under
the fertiliser spreader due to unintentional dropping of the ferti-
liser spreader if the top link halves are accidentally rotated apart
or tear apart!
Make sure no persons are present in the danger area behind or be-
low the machine before adjusting the mounting height via the upper
link.
Set the exact mounting height of the loaded machine on the field in
accordance with the setting chart. Following the adjustment, measure
the mounting height at the front and rear side of the fertiliser spreader
from the surface of the ground (Fig. 35).
1. Switch off the universal joint shaft of the tractor (if necessary).
2. Wait until rotating spreading discs come to a complete standstill
(if necessary) before adjusting the mounting height.
3. Direct persons away from the danger zone behind or under the
machine.
4. Adjust the required mounting height on the field as per the speci-
fications in the setting chart for the required fertiliser type (nor-
mal or late top dressing).
4.1 Raise or lower the fertiliser spreader via the tractor's three-
point hydraulic system until the spreading disc at the side in
the centre reaches the required mounting height.
4.2 Change the length of the upper link if the mounting heights
a and b on the front and reverse side of the spreading discs
deviate from the required mounting heights.
