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
u
Pay close attention to the machine settings. Even a slightly incorrect setting may adversely affect
the spreading pattern.
u
Check that your machine is working properly and that the application is sufficiently precise before
every use of the spreader and during work (carry out a calibration test).
Particularly hard fertilizer types (such as Thomas fertilizer and kieserite) increase the wear on the
spreading vanes.
The spreading distance to the rear is approx. half a working width. The total spreading distance is
approx. 2 working widths with a triangular spreading pattern.
u
Always use the protective grid supplied to prevent blockages, e.g., caused by foreign objects or
fertilizer clumping.
Claims for damage other than to the machine will not be accepted.
This also means that no liability will be accepted for damage resulting from spreading errors.
Please note that the service life of the machine mainly depends on your driving behavior.
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.
