8.11.3 Running three passes
Layout:
Testing area width:3 x tramline distance
Length of testing area: 60 to 70 m
The three tracks must be parallel. If you are running the test without drilled
tramlines, the paths must be measured using a tape measure and marked
(e.g. with rods).
Figure 8.29: Layout for three passes
Preparing the three passes:
Choose a similar fertiliser from the fertiliser chart and adjust the spreader ac-
cordingly.
Set the mounting height of the machine as specified in the fertiliser chart.
Make sure that the mounting height includes the top edge of the trays.
Check the spreading elements (spreading discs, spreader vanes, outlet) for
correct functioning and completeness.
Place two collecting vessels each, one after another, at a distance of 1 m in
the overlap zones and in the centre track (according to figure 8.29
).
NOTICE
We recommend the layout plan up to a spreading width of 24 m. A layout plan
for greater working widths is attached to the PPS5 practise test kit.
