7.5 Setting the spread rate
The shutter slide position depends on:
• the kind of spreading material (sand salt or
mixture) and its characteristics (granular,
coarse/fine, moist, dry).
• the desired spreading width [m].
• the intended operational speed [km/h].
• the desired spread rate [g/m²].
The spread rate is set by moving the shutter slide
lock (1) of the shutter (2) along the scale (3)
according to experience values or according to the
indications given in the E + S setting chart. This way
different opening diameters of the discharge opening
can be set.
Moving the shutter slide lock to a higher figure of
the scale (3) means:
• larger opening diameter of the discharge
openings.
• increased spread rate.
F
As the spreading properties of the
spreading materials may heavily vary
(e.g. moist or dry) we recommend that
you determine the desired shutter
position for the desired spread rate with
the aid of a spread rate check.
Procedure of spread rate setting:
- Slacken the thumb nut (4) .
- Set the pointer of the shutter slide lock (1) onto
the desired figure on the scale (3).
- Retighten thumb nut (4) firmly.
