Too little fertiliser in the overlap
area
 Defective spreading vanes,
outlets.
 Replace defective parts im-
mediately.
 Spreading vane incorrectly
adjusted. Correct adjust-
ment according to fertiliser
chart.
 The fertiliser has a smooth-
er surface than the fertiliser
that was tested for the fer-
tiliser chart.
 Push forward the spread-
ing vane mentioned sec-
ond in the fertiliser chart
(for larger numbers).
- e.g. E4-C1 to setting
E4-C2
 If the angle correction of
the spreading vane men-
tioned second is not suffi-
cient, increase the length of
the spreading vane.
- e.g. E4-C2 to setting
E4-D2
 Spreading vane incorrectly
adjusted. Correct adjust-
ment according to fertiliser

 Push back the spreading
vane mentioned second in
the fertiliser chart (for
smaller numbers).
- e.g. C3-B2 to setting
C3-B1
 If the angle correction of
the spreading vane men-
tioned second is not suffi-
cient, shorten the length of
the spreading vane.
- e.g. C3-B1 to setting
C3-A1
 PTO speed is higher than
what the tractor tachometer
indicates.
 Check the RPM and cor-
rect if necessary.
 Spreading vane incorrectly
adjusted.
 Correct adjustment accord-
ing to fertiliser chart.
Spreader applies a larger ap-

 Check the adjustment of
the metering slide.
 Check the agitator function.
