ZA-X BAG0235.4
8.1 Adjusting the mounting height
WARNING
Danger of crushing and / or impact for persons behind / under
the fertiliser spreader due to unintentional dropping of the ferti-
liser spreader if the upper link halves are accidentally rotated
apart or tear apart!
Make sure no persons are present in the danger area behind or be-
low the machine before adjusting the mounting height via the upper
link.
Set the exact mounting height of the machine in the field according to
the information in the setting chart with the machine loaded. The
measurement is taken at the front and rear of the spreader discs,
each beginning at the ground surface (Fig. 57).
1. Switch off the universal joint shaft of the tractor (if necessary).
2. Wait until rotating spreading discs come to a complete standstill
(if necessary) before adjusting the mounting height.
3. Direct persons away from the danger zone behind or under the
machine.
4. Adjust the required mounting height on the field as per the speci-
fications in the setting chart for the required fertiliser type (nor-
mal or late top dressing).
4.1 Raise or lower the fertiliser spreader via the tractor's three-
point hydraulic system until the spreading disc at the side in
the centre reaches the required mounting height.
4.2 Change the length of the upper link if the mounting heights
a and b on the front and reverse side of the
deviate from the required mounting heights.
Installation dimension b smaller

Installation dimension b greater

Shorten length of the

Standard mounting height:
a / b = 31 in / 80 cm
The mounting heights specified here in cm—
usually horizontal 80/80—apply for normal ferti-
lising.
For spring fertilising, if the plants have already
grown to a height of 4-15 in / 10-40 cm, one-half
of the growth height should be added to the
specified mounting height (e.g. 80/80). There-
fore, for a growth height of 12 in / 30 cm, set a
mounting height of 95/95. For greater growth
heights, configure the settings according to the
specifications for late topdressing. For dense
crops (rapeseed), set the centrifugal broadcaster
with the specified mounting height (e.g. 80/80)
above the crop. If the growth height makes this
impossible, configure according to the specifica-
tions for late top dressing.
