PRACTICAL HINTS
•
Prevent ”packing” the fertiliser by driving over long distances on uneven ground
with a full hopper. If the fertiliser is “packing” in the bottom of the hopper it might
mean damage to the agitator of the machine.
•
The spreading discs should not rotate for long periods when the shutters are
closed. The fertiliser will pack and thus cause squeezing between shutter and
agitator. The ”fingers” of the agitator might be damaged and in worst case
”break”.
•
When spreading ”dusty” fertiliser, it is necessary to regularly clean the base of
each side of the hopper to prevent build up of fine material which could pack
thus causing squeezing between shutter and agitator. The ”fingers” of the
agitator might be damaged and in worst case ”break”.
•
The machine should not be used without cone (over the agitator).
•
Do not fill fertiliser into a wet hopper. The humidity will make it difficult for the
fertiliser to fall down and thus reduce the quantity. Take care particularly when
calibrating manually. If the hopper is wet (water or oil), more calibration tests
must be made before having a correct calibration quantity.
•
Be aware that in the transmission, there is a gearing of 1:1,39. The number of
PTO- rotations is therefore not corresponding to the number of rotations on the
spreading discs.
•
PTO
= 540
rpm.
•
Spreading discs =
750 rpm.
•
When driving in wet field and at high speed, mud, stones or may be water may
be thrown up into the hopper from the rear wheels of the tractor. In such cases
it is recommended to use the
BOGBALLE hopper cover.
•
When driving in wet field and at high speed, mud, stones or similar might be
thrown up into the spreading system. That means collision with the spreading
vanes – which means again defect / bended vanes. In such cases it is
recommended to use
BOGBALLE mud guards.
MOUNTING OF OPTIONAL EQUIPMENTS
Mounting and operation instructions are included with the options from the
factory. Ask the dealer to let you have the instructions – after mounting.
It is strongly recommended to grease all of the machine in oil
or a similar corrosion protection liquid – BEFORE the
machine is used first time.
This way the assemblings of the machine and also the areas, in which
there is later not sufficiant cleaning, are corrosion protected.
Repeat greasing each time the machine was cleaned.
