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.

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.

Page 92
QUANTRON-E2 and/or QUANTRON-A for operating your machine, check that the software of the operating unit includes the OptiPoint function. The OptiPoint function by RAUCH calculates the optimal switching-on and switching-off point for spreading in the headline based on the settings in the operating unit.
Page 93
General commissioning (all machine types) Driving out of the headland tramline Open the metering slides if the following requirement is met: The end of the spreading fan on the field [E] is at approx. half of the work- ing width + 4 to 8 m from the field boundary of the headland. The tractor is then located at different distances in the field, depending on the spreading distance of the fertiliser.
General commissioning (all machine types) Spreading with section control (VariSpread) With the spreading width assistant VariSpread, you can reduce the spreading width and the application rate in parallel, up to four times per side.

General commissioning (all machine types) NOTICE When older control equipment is used, leaks are possible during boundary spreading. In such case, TELIMAT may leave the already reached end position (lower position) again. Therefore, return TELIMAT to the end position at regular intervals in order to prevent spreading errors.
