3.3 Adjusting the fertilizer output point
The point at which the fertilizer drops on to the discs,
the output point,
is adjusted
by using the scales (Photo 5, No.10) on both sides of the spreader and the handlock
nuts (Photo 5, No.9). Photo 5 shows the output point adjusted to position 7. Altering
the output point determines the working width and allows adaptability to various fer-
tilizers. Adjusting in the direction of
smaller
numbers causes early ejection of fertil-
izer, thereby directing more material directly behind the spreader producing a corre-
sponding spread pattern for
smaller working widths
. Adjusting in the direction of
bigger
numbers causes later ejection of fertilizer, thereby directing material out-
wards into the overlap zones, producing a corresponding spread pattern for
larger
working widths
.

Important:
In a new condition, the surface of the throwing vanes is not totally
smooth. For this reason it is recommended that during the first hopper load the out-
put point is moved an extra 0.5 towards the
smaller numbers
(e.g. from OP8 to
0P7.5). After the first load has been used up in both hoppers, the output point should
be readjusted back to the position indicated in the spreading charts, or that obtained
during calibration checks.
