  • Page 84: Using The Fertiliser Chart

    8.6.1 Information on the fertiliser chart The values in the fertiliser chart have been determined on the RAUCH test system. The used fertiliser materials have been purchased from the fertiliser manufactur- ers or from dealers. Experience shows that, due to storage, transportation and other reasons, the fertiliser materials at your disposal - even with identical speci- fication - might exhibit a different spreading behaviour.
  • Page 85 General commissioning (all machine types) Example of field spreading during normal fertilising: Figure 8.13: Field spreading during normal fertilising During field spreading in normal fertilising mode, a symmetrical spreading pattern is produced. If the spreader is correctly set (see information in the fertiliser chart), the fertiliser is evenly spread over the field.

    Spreading operation B.6.2 Implementing the calibration n WARNING Risk of injury due to chemicals Escaping fertiliser may lead to injury to eyes and nasal mucous membrane.  Wear safety goggles during the calibration.  Before running the calibration test, ensure that all people leave the hazard zone of the machine.
  • Page 193 Spreading operation Implementation (example on the left side of the spreader): NOTICE The calibration has to be carried out at one side of the machine only. For safety reasons, however, both spreading discs must be removed. 1. Use the adjustment lever to loosen the cap nut of the spreading disc.

  • Page 195 Spreading operation NOTICE You can use the percentage scale to reset the position of the output rate stop. For example, if the calibration test weight is down by 10 %, the output rate stop is set to a 10 % higher position (e.g. from 150 to 165). Calculation with formula The position of the output rate stop can also be calculated using the following for- mula:...
