5.10.3 Calibration test
The calibration test checks whether the pre-set and actual spread
rates are equivalent.
Always carry out a calibration test
when changing the type of seed/fertiliser.
if the same type of seed/fertiliser is used, but with a different
grain size, grain shape and specific weight.
if there is a change in the seed dressing.
after changing the metering rollers.
if the actual spread rate does not correspond to the spread rate
that was determined by the calibration test.
During calibration, the metered seed or metered
fertiliser drops into the calibration trough (Fig.
67/1).
The number of calibration troughs corresponds
to the number of metering units.
The calibration crank (Fig. 67/2) is in parking
position in the transport bracket.

When not in use, the calibration troughs (Fig.
68/1) are inserted inside one another and
secured in the transport bracket using a linch pin
(Fig. 69/1).
