Practical Hints - Boqballe EX Manual

•
Prevent "packing" the fertiliser by driving over long distances on uneven ground with a
full hopper.
•
The spreading discs should not rotate for long periods when the shutters are closed.
The fertiliser will pack and thus cause squeezing between shutter and agitator. The
"fingers" of the agitator might be damaged and in worst case "break".
•
When spreading "dusty" fertiliser, it is necessary to regularly clean the base of each
side of the hopper to prevent build up of fine material which could pack thus causing
squeezing between shutter and agitator. The "fingers" of the agitator might be damaged
and in worst case "break".
•
The machine should not be used without cone (over the agitator).
•
Do not fill fertiliser into a wet hopper. The humidity will make it difficult for the
fertiliser to fall down and thus reduce the quantity. Take care particularly when
calibrating manually. If the hopper is wet (water or oil), more calibration tests must be
made before having a correct calibration quantity.
•
Be aware that in the transmission, there is a gearing of 1:1,39. The number of PTO-
rotations is therefore not corresponding to the number of rotations on the spreading
discs.
•
PTO
•
Spreading discs = 750 rpm.
•
When driving in wet field and at high speed, mud, stones or may be water may be
thrown up into the hopper from the rear wheels of the tractor. In such cases it is
recommended to use the BOGBALLE hopper cover.
•
When driving in wet field and at high speed, mud, stones or similar might be thrown up
into the spreading system. That means collision with the spreading vanes – which
means again defect / bended vanes. In such cases it is recommended to use
BOGBALLE mud guards.
