CHECKS OF TRACTOR – before use
It is important that the lift arms of the tractor are set horizontally.
If this is not the case the spreader will ”tilt” and the fertiliser will not
spread equally to both sides of the spreader.
Result:
Asymmetric spread pattern.
The spread width depends on the rotation speed of the spreading
discs. Therefore the PTO- rotations should be kept constant at 540
rpm.There are often differences in the tractor meter. Therefore make
it a rule to check the rotation speed of the PTO from time to time.
The quantity in [Kg/Ha] is directly dependant on the forward speed.
Therefore the speed [Km/h] must be kept constant.
There are often differences in the tractor meter. Therefore make it a
rule to check the driving speed from time to time.
CHECK OF SPREADER- before use.
The adjustment and closing shutters must be easy to move. Never
use force. If the system is not easy to move – the reason is often lack
of lubrication of the moving part of the setting system.
•
The spreading discs must turn easily when the PTO is not mounted.
•
Agitators must turn easily.
•
Turnable outlet must be easy to turn.
•
Regulating outlets must be easy to turn.
•
The speading vanes must be intact and correctly fixed.
•
The PTO shaft must be of correct length, with suitable overlap
of the axle ends (min. 50 mm.). If the overlap is too long or too
short it will result in a serious damage of the transmission axle.
•
DO NOT lift the spreader higher than working height.
If the shaft is not of correct length –
and if the transmission is damaged, it
will clearly appear from ”press marks
” on the splined axle.
A such damage is of course not under
warranty.
•
In case the spreader ”leaks” fertiliser – when
the outlets are closed – this is due to the
distance between tighteneing part
and
hopper bottom being more than 0,5 mm.
Loosen the tightening part and press towards
hopper bottom so that the distance is 0,5 mm.
