FOREWORD
Bredal F4 is designed to spread chemical fertilizers and similarly structured materials on farmland. The operator is responsible for ensuring that
the machine is solely used for the intended purpose to avoid property damage and personal injury.
The machine is equipped with a rating plate on which the serial number and year of production are specied. The maximum gross weight and net
weight are also specied on the rating plate. The dierence between the two is the maximum permissible load.
This instruction manual contains instructions for operating the machine and setting it to spread generally available commercial fertilizers. As fertilizer
quality can uctuate greatly from one year to the next and from consignment to consignment, it is advisable to always perform a spreading test
if there is any doubt whether the type of fertilizer can be spread on the preferred working width with reasonable results. The latest settings for
the most common types of available fertilizer can be downloaded at any time from Bredal’s website. It is advisable to always do a spreading test
using the type of fertilizer to be spread to test the settings recommended by Bredal. The user is solely responsible for ensuring that the machine
is correctly set and that it works correctly to achieve acceptable spreading. Bredal accepts no liability for spreading errors.
The ISOBUS terminal in the tractor and its soware:
The appearance of the user interface varies slightly from one ISOBUS terminal to another. This is because the terminals have dierent resolutions.
Some spreader functions require specic soware to be installed in the terminal. Wedge spreading is only possible if the terminal has a section-
control program and a tracking program. If fertilizer is applied according to eld and crop maps, the terminal must also contain soware that can
process these maps. When the spreader is connected to the tractor, the spreader’s job computer exchanges data with the tractor’s terminal and
only those functions which are supported by the tractor’s terminal will be active. If the terminal does not contain soware for wedge spreading,
the function cannot be used.
