Prepare the test
ü
We recommend a testing area that is horizontal in both directions. The tracks must not have any
significant cavities or heights since this may distort the spreading pattern.
u
Conduct the test on a dry day with no wind so the weather does not affect the result.
u
Carry out the test either on a freshly cut field or on a field with low vegetation (max. 10 cm).

u
Make sure that the collecting vessels are placed on level ground. Collecting vessels set at an
angle can cause measuring errors (see image above).
u
Running the calibration test (see 8 Calibration).
u
Adjust and lock the metering slides on the right and left-hand side (see 9.3 Setting the application
rate).
The test surface is correctly positioned.

Layout
We recommend the layout plan up to a spreading width of 24 m. A layout plan for greater working
widths is included in the PPS 5 practice test kit.
• Length of test area: 60 to 70 m
