AGITATOR
When driven by PTO the rotation has to be started slowly with the tractor idling.
As standard the spreader is delivered with agitator for humid
SAND and SALT (Agitator with rubber disc).
The operation of the agitator is decisive for ensuring a constant
and uniform material flow.
Material for slippery roads is often difficult to handle because
the material can compress and build bridges with no flow as
result. See the paragraph:
”
Special attention please
”
The agitator is a wear part that must be checked now and then.
Wear will influence the efficiency of the agitator resulting in
smaller and at last no flow.
The primary wear parts are exchangable and made of hardened steel.
Pay attention to the fact that severe wear of the universal joint may cause
locking of the joint with overheat and defect friction clutch in the transmission
as consequence.
When spreading very rough material / small crushed stones or mineral fertiliser
the special free wheeling agitator is used (optional equipment).
When spreading dry smooth-running materials - for instance dry
salt or urea the special free wheeling agitator is also used.
o
Alternativ
ely the standard agitator’s axle is dismounted
(agitator axle with rubber disc) in a way that only the
lower ejector part is used. This solution might induce
crushing/grinding of the material.
SERVICE WINDOW, S3
As an example the hopper's service window can be used
when servicing the spreader's agitator.
The tractor's motor always has to be stopped when the
service window is open!
