Two different scales, designed so as to make it impossible to confuse
them, are arranged on each spreading disc for precision setting of the
individual spreading vane positions.
The scales with values from 0 to 20 are assigned to the shorter
spreading vanes and the scales with values from 30 to 50 are as-
signed to the longer spreading vanes.
• The working width is increased by swivelling the spreading
vanes to a higher numeric value on the scale.
• The shorter spreading vanes primarily distribute the fertiliser in
the centre of the spread pattern, while the longer vanes primarily
distribute it to the outer area.
• When spreading mixed fertilisers, note the following:
ο Each variety may have different flight characteristics.
ο The individual varieties may separate.
• The recommended settings specified for lateral distribution
(working width) pertain solely to weight distribution, not to nutri-
ent supply.
