    Spreading work Spreading work General information The modern technology and design of the machine and exhaustive, continuous testing in the factory's spreading material test facilities ensure that you will have a perfect spreading pattern. Our machines are manufactured with utmost diligence. However, deviations in the application rate or possible faults cannot be excluded, even when complying with the intended use.
  • Page 96: General Information On The Agitator

    Spreading work Select the PTO speed and/or the spreading disc speed in such a way that the de- sired spreading width can be achieved and no deposits form on the spreading disc. A low PTO speed/spreading disc speed reduces the wear on the agitator and spreading disc.
  • Page 97: Instructions Regarding The Spreading Operation

    Spreading work Instructions regarding the spreading operation The intended use of the machine includes compliance with the operating, mainte- nance, and service conditions in accordance with the manufacturer specifications. Spreading therefore always includes preparation and cleaning/maintenance. n DANGER Danger of injury when spreading Contact with rotating machine components (universal drive shaft, spreading disc, agitator) may cause injury.
