Reasons for this may be:
• Changes
in the physical properties of the seeds or fertilizer (such as variable grain size
distribution, variable density, grain size and surface, treatment, coating, moisture).
• Clumping and damp fertilizer
• Wind drift: stop spreading at high wind speeds.
• Blockages or bridge formation (e.g., due to foreign objects, bag residue, wet fertilizer, etc.).
• Uneven ground
• Deterioration of wear parts
• Damage from external causes
• Poor cleaning and care for preventing corrosion
• Incorrect drive speeds and forward speeds
• Neglecting to carry out the calibration test.
• Incorrect machine settings
The intended use of the machine includes compliance with the operating, maintenance, and service
conditions
in accordance with the manufacturer specifications. Spreading therefore always includes
preparation and cleaning/maintenance.
• Carry out spreading operations in accordance with the sequence described below.
