To be done before spreading
75
Calibration test
Avoid contact with the fertiliser and other material
You will most likely get into contact with the fertiliser and other material
you may wish to spread while filling, adjusting and testing the
spreader. Wear protective clothing and gloves, read the safety instruc-
tions provided by the supplier and follow their directions. Contact with
these materials could cause physical harm.
Be careful that nothing gets jammed
It is easy for parts to get jammed while adjusting the spreader.
Work carefully:
•
switch the tractor off and remove the key from the ignition,
•
engage the parking brake of the tractor,
•
wait for all machine parts to come to a standstill before you start
with the adjustments,
•
carefully follow the instructions given.
Friction with these materials could cause physical injury.
The test should be performed on your own. Operate the machine
on your own!
Dangerous situations for other people could easily occur when the
machine is turning and the test conducted. Contact with these
materials could cause physical injury.
Protecting the environment
Spreading a too high dose of materials outside of the field edge,
especially on water surface, creates a heavy burden on the
environment. Protect the environment by applying a correct
application rate in a correct working manner.
PTO shaft rotates after disengaging
After switching off the PTO shaft, danger could arise as the machine
will continue running because of inertia. Keep a safe distance to the
machine until the moving parts have come to a complete stop.
Approaching the machine while it is rotating can cause serious or
deadly injuries.
The spreading charts are compiled for good fertiliser and modern
equipment. It may nevertheless be necessary to check the dosing
settings with a calibration test. This is necessary because your
circumstances and fertiliser will always differ from the test situation
used to compile the spreading charts.
Use the correct flow rate from the chart with the calibration test
The calibration test is used to determine the flowrate of a spreading
disc. The expected flow rate in kg/min differs from the flow rate during
full field spreading. During the calibration test the vanes are removed
and a calibration container is attached. The (corrected) calibration
value is provided in the second column.
You should also test the discharge point with a tray test.
