5.6 Carrying out spread rate check
• During the spread rate check, the calibration factor for the prod-
uct is determined with
ο the machine coupled with the tractor,
ο the driven PTO shaft,
ο the tractor at standstill.
• The calibration factor can also be entered directly, if known.
DANGER
Secure the tractor and machine against unintentional rolling and
lowering of the tractor's three-point hydraulic system.
The calibration factor for the product determines the regulating be-
haviour of the AMADOS
E+S
and depends on
• the flow characteristics of the product to be spread.
• the entered spread rate.
• the entered working width.
• The product flow characteristics may change even after a brief
storage period.
→ Therefore again determine the calibration factor for the product
before each use.
• Always again determine the calibration factor for the product
ο if the spread rate is changed.
ο if there are deviations between the theoretical and the ac-
tual spread rate.
