Adjusting the application rate

The spreading quantity is adjusted though the metering slide opening.

Figure 7.1:

Scale for the adjustment of the spreading quantity

For this purpose, move the metering slide control lever to the position you have 

previously found in the fertiliser chart. This is the stopper position to which the 

metering slide control lever is moved mechanically prior to the spreading drive.

Moving the lever to the right, in the direction of higher values, opens the me-

tering slide.

Moving the lever to the left, in the direction of lower values, closes the meter-

ing slide.

n WARNING

Risk of crushing and shearing in the area of the spreading 

quantity adjustment!

Adjusting the metering slide may lead to severe injury of the fingers.

 Never put your fingers in the movement direction of the 

metering slide control lever.

n CAUTION

Material damage caused by an insufficient metering slide 

opening

Insufficient opening of the metering slide can cause blockages 

and can damage the spreading material. Agitator wear increases.

 Always select an adequate opening for the metering slide, 

at which the spreading material flows out in an unob-

structed manner.
