5.1. ADJUSTMENTS
It is not possible to have an exact spreading chart for equipments that make use of the centrifugal
principle, given that the distributed quantity depends on the feed speed, on the radius of distribution, on
the quality and humidity of the fertilizer and on the roughness of the land. The fertilizer must always be
stored and conserved adequately, so as to keep its physical characteristics unchanged.
It is necessary to set the speed of the centrifugal spreader, before starting the operation of distribution,
trying, in the possible limits, to keep it constant for all its duration.
The spreading charts contain the indicative information, in order to determine the quantity to spread in
the field; these must be completed by the experience and competence of the operator.
5.2. HOW TO ADJUST THE SPREADING VANES
In order to assure an homogenous distribution on both sides of the centrifugal spreader, depending on
the different specific weight of the used fertilizer, the distributor vanes on the disc can have
different positions.
When all the vanes are put in hole 1 (as shown in the picture), the distribution of the product is
increased towards left, compared to the way of the tractor moving. On the contrary, if the vanes are put in
hole 4, the distribution will be bigger towards right.
Moreover, moving the vanes from position 1 to position 4, at the same speed, there will be an increase of
the distributing width of fertilizer distribution.
