5.10.2 Adjusting the spread rate (seed and fertiliser) on the Vario gearbox
A Vario gearbox is located upstream of each
metering unit. Adjust the desired spread rate for
each metering unit on the upstream Vario
gearbox.
The desired spread rate is adjusted using the
gearbox lever (Fig. 65/1) of the Vario gearbox.
The higher the number the gearbox lever points
to on the scale (Fig. 65/2), the greater the spread
rate.
Fig. 65
Carry out a calibration test to determine whether
all of the gearbox levers are correctly set and
whether the spread rate is correct for subsequent
seeding.
A
number of calibration tests are often necessary
to determine the correct gearbox setting.
The gearbox setting can be calculated from the
values of the first calibration test using the
calculating disc rule. Always check the value
determined on the calculating disc rule with a
further calibration test.
The calculating disc rule has three scales
 An outer white scale (Fig. 66/1)
for all spread rates above 30 kg/ha
 An inner white scale (Fig. 66/2)
for all spread rates below 30 kg/ha
 A coloured scale (Fig. 66/3)
with all gearbox settings from 1 to 100.
