8.2 Setting the spread rate - Performing the calibration test
1. Enter the desired spread rate on the control terminal.
2. Perform a calibration test to determine the calibration factor.
The spread rate must be set for
• Seed
• Fertiliser (optional)
Perform a calibration test after setting the desired spread rate!
1. Perform a calibration test for seed.
2. Perform a calibration test for fertiliser.
When spreading seed and fertiliser at the same time, the spread rate
is limited.
15 km/h:
Maximum seeding rate: 250 kg/ha
Minimum seeding rate:. 2 kg/ha (1 dosing unit)
Maximum fertiliser rate: 80 kg/ha
8.2.1 Calibration test
The calibration test checks whether the preset spread rate matches
the actual spread rate.
Always carry out a calibration test:
• when changing the seed type/fertiliser
• if the seed type is identical, but size grain, grain shape, specific
weight and dressing are different
• after exchanging the dosing rollers
WARNING
Never step between the machine and the exact harrow before th
e
stop tap is closed which blocks the hydraulics of the exact har-
row.
When spreading the seed and fertiliser at the same time, carry out
one calibration test each for the seed and fertiliser separately.
→ Gears not used for the calibration test should be set to po-
sition 0.
Whenever possible calibrate and set the seed rate after the journey
to
the field with the filled seed hopper.
This ensures a more accurate seed rate.
