To be done before spreading

I
NDICATION
Most types of fertilizer attract water and can thereby form large
chunks. These chunks can block the spreader or distort the spreading
pattern.
•
When working under moist conditions, use a hopper cover that
closes well.
•
Do not spread without a hopper cover under moist conditions.
•
Never leave the fertilizer for a long period of time in the spreader.
Chunks can also be formed through moisture in the air.
•
Always clean the spreader well after use, including the dosing
openings and the discharge bushings.
Loading height
You can fill the spreader to the desired levels after it has been put in
place. It is recommended that the machine be loaded while it is lifted
4 in. above the soil. If no activities need to be performed on top of the
hopper, the height can be adjusted with the automatic filling system.
Procedure
If a fixed loading platform is used, drive the machine to the
platform. The distance between the machine and the platform must
be a maximum of 8 in.
Lower the machine at the desired level. The machine must not rest
on the ground, but rather be lifted a minimum distance of 4 in!
Check if the dosing units are closed. Close them if necessary by
pressing the stop key on the main screen.
The position of the dosing units is displayed in the main screen on the
control box of the control system.
Switch the electronic control system off,
place the tractor and machine on a firm , flat surface,
switching off the PTO shaft,
Placing all controls in their neutral or park position,
Switch the tractor off and remove the keys from the ignition.
Engage the parking brake of the tractor.
Close all the doors and windows in the cabin.
Place wheel chocks in front of the wheels of the tractor.
If a mobile loading platform is being used, place the loading
platform at the spreader so that there would be a maximum
distance of 8 in. between the two.
Open the hopper cover.
Check if the sieve is closed and secured.
Fill the machine to the desired level with the correct tools. Fill the
hopper halves to the same level so that the both of them would run
empty at the same time.
\
WARNING
A load platform must be used if the distance between the hopper
rim and the ground is more than 49 in. while filling manually or with
large bags. The filling height is given in
