Whilst spreading heavy manure, the equipment’s balance could be altered as the load
could move towards the back on certain types of grounds (slopes). When coupling take
this seriously into account as vertical vibrations could unhitch the ring.
3- SPREADING
1.
Activating the rotor,
GRADUALLY ENGAGE the PTO (
540 or 1000revs/min
depending on spreader model)
2.
Opening the guillotine door: (
if the spreader has one), the guillotine door is equipped
with a hydraulic safety system, which stops the moving floor if the door is not open
enough.
3.
Moving floor with hydraulic geared motor
FUNCTION:
With a hydraulic control, the moving floor can have a regular or variable speed.
Use:
A-
With hydraulic control from the tractor pump
:
pressurize the power circuit (engaging
the tractor distributor)
B
- With independent hydraulic control from the spreader’s hydraulic power unit:
1.
Turn the moving floor on, using the
spreader’s distributor at low speed.
2.
Adjust
the moving floor’s speed by pushing the button
- +
on the flow
regulator.
3.
The distributor enables the moving floor to move forwards or backwards. (NOTE:
If the spreader is equipped with a Vaucanson chain the moving floor cannot move
backwards).
4.
When unloading, the
limiter
can disengage: see engagement and disengagement
functioning page 25.
5.
When spreading is almost finished, it is necessary to increase the moving floor
speed as the product will not always reach the rotor.
