15.1 Spreading slug pellets It is important that you always test the pellets through the Fan Jet to establish the spread width and pattern before you go to work, and to enable you to calibrate the Fan Jet. Be aware the spread pattern could be thinner towards the outer edges.
Page 16
16.1 Setting the feed rate To adjust the feed rate, undo the black plastic locking knob at the centre rear of the hopper and slide the feed regulator plate to the required setting, reading from the 0-10 scale decal. Re-tighten the locking knob. Position 10 is the highest feed rate with the feed apertures fully open as shown in the photo below Note - we recommend you carry out your own product calibration test for each product and application rate.
Page 17
17 Spread width and pattern Basic Rule; The spread width is dependent upon the density of the granule or seed, and the disc speed (plus other factors). Large, dense granules and seeds with a high disc speed give the maximum spread width – small, light granules and seeds will not spread as far.

18.1 Setting the headland deflectors WARNING Ensure the power supply has been disconnected before adjusting any deflector plates or fitting the calibration chute. Always wear the appropriate protective clothing. Adjustable deflectors that reduce the exit aperture from the disc are incorporated into the Fan Jet to physically limit the spread width for headland control.
