9 Spreading operation
DANGER!
Danger of injury due to running engine
Working on the machine with the engine running may result in serious injury caused by mechanical
components and escaping spreading material.
u
Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop before making any adjustments or
performing maintenance work.
u
Switch off the tractor engine.
u
Remove the ignition key.
u
Ensure that nobody is present in the hazard zone .
9.1 General information
The modern technology and design of our machines and exhaustive, continuous testing in the
factory's spreading material test system ensure that you will have a perfect spreading pattern.
In spite of the care taken during machine manufacture, deviations in application or other faults are
possible even with designated usage.
Reasons for this may be:
•
Changes in the physical properties of the spreading material (such as variable grain size
distribution, variable density, grain size and surface, and moisture)
• Clumping and damp spreading material
• Wind drift: stop spreading at high wind speeds.
• Blockages or bridge formation (e.g., due to foreign objects, bag residue, wet spreading material).
• Uneven ground
• Abrasion of wear parts, e.g., agitator, spreading vanes, outlet.
• Damage from external causes
• Poor cleaning and care for preventing corrosion
• Incorrect drive speeds and forward speeds
• Calibration test has not been carried out or calibration test has been carried out with incorrect
values (e.g., incorrect PTO speed)
• Incorrect machine settings
Cleaning the machine after each use prevents deposits at the hopper base. You can thus reduce
the wear of the agitator and increase the operational reliability of your machine.
u
Pay close attention to the machine settings. Even a slightly incorrect setting may adversely affect
the spreading pattern.
u Check that your machine is working properly and that the application is sufficiently precise before
every use of the spreader and during work (carry out a calibration test).
