Seed Drills and Fertilizer Spreaders SOLÀ are produced in a factory particu- larly specialized in this kind of machines and they are guaranted for the ex- perience of the users. The are machines based on state-of-the art technology and are manu- factured with recognized safety requirements for doing an excellent work with a minimal maintenance.
This manual is finished with a Dosage Table with different types of fertilizers. SOLÀ reserves the right to make changes to the illus- trations, technical specifications and weights contained in this operating manual if SOLA makes any improve- ments to the fertilizer spreaders.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 SAFETY SYMBOLS You will find, in this operating manual, three types of safety and danger symbols: To facilitate operation with the fertilizer spreader. To avoid damages on the fertilizer spreader or in the equipments. This symbol warns of the risk of injury.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS If you are working Direction and under the machi- speed of the ne it is very impor- power point. tant to assure it to avoid its collapse. Danger of serious lesions. Danger of se- Coupling point for rious lesions the transport caused by the by crane.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 3.2 PROPER USE - Fertilizer spreader SOLÀ SV-5 has been produced for the agricultural works specially for fertilizer with mineral products. - SOLÀ cannot be held liable for any consequential damage resulting from incorrect use, metering or distributions.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Do not place strange elements inside the hopper. - Always, connect the power take-off with the shaft in order to protect the fertilizer spreader and to avoid serious damages. - It is forbidden to ride to the fertilizer spreader during the transport or during the work.
ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS 4. ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS FOR FERTILIZING 1. FERTILIZER GRANULOMETRY: fertilizer with irregular sizes must be refu- sed in order to avoid an incorrect distribution. 2. P.T.O. SPEED: The P.T.O. speed determines the speed turn discs. Working width will change if the speed is modified. Speed must be at 540 rpm. 3.
ADJUSTMENTS 5. SETTING OF THE FERTILIZER SPREADER 5.1 METHOD FOR FERTILIZER SPREADER SETTING Basic process to adjust the fertilizer spreader is: 1. To know the fertilizer type, granulometry, density, grains specifi- cations, for comparing it with another fertilizer type places in this manual.
ADJUSTMENTS 5.2 PHYSICAL KNOWLEDGE OF FERTILIZER The distribution of the fertilizer spreader changes a lot if the fertili- zer conditions are different. Il will be necessary, for each fertilizer type, a different adjusment of the fertilizer spreader. The physical attributes of the fertilizer are: density and granulometry DENSITY: it is the weight per volume unity and generally it is measu- red in kg/dm...
ADJUSTMENTS 5.3 SETTING OF THE WORKING WIDTH Observing dosage tables we can see that for a same type of fertilizer, the blades position on the disc changes depending on the working width and the dose to spread. Fitted on each disc we have two different blades: one blade called "short" and the other blade called "long".

ADJUSTMENTS Find as follows an exemple: we want to fertilize with nitrate NAC 26% as we can find on the dosage table (page 21). We need a dose of 150 kg/ha, a working width from 18 m and a working speed of 8 km/h.
ADJUSTMENTS 5.4 FLOW SETTING When we known the fertilizer specifications, we look for the dosage table the fertilizer more similar to the fertilizer we are going to use. As we know the dose we need and also the working width, we look for the case about the correct dose (kg/ha) in the column concerning...

ADJUSTMENTS When we give pressure to the cylinder release, the fertilizer exit devi- ces close (lever 1 goes to zero). When we eliminate pressure, the cylinders return to the pre-established position with the selection check and open the exit devices with the flow required. By means of two control valves we can choose one of the following options: All machine, that is, two disc are working at the same...
FERTILISED 6. EDGES FERTILISED For fertilizing the land edges it is necessary to start the work just in the land limit, closing the fertilizer exit device concerning to the limit side. We can do this operation, working the hydraulic control valves in the way we have seen in the previous page.
FLOW TEST 7. FLOW TEST To know the fertilizer flow, spreaded by the fertilizer spreader, we will do a test. We will control the quantity comes out by a fertilizer exit device during a minute (we have this information on the dosage tables. Pages 21 to 23).
GREASING AND MAINTENANCE 8. GREASING AND MAINTENANCE Every day, the shaft of the power take-off must be libricated with grease. The gear box are greased with type NLGI 00 (lithium grease EP 00). Verify very often the level Verify often tne level of the grease. Lubricate with oil the articulations of the levers and joints.
DOSAGE TABLES 9. DOSAGE TABLES In the dosage tables we can find the spreaded dose in kg/ha for each type of fertilizer, depending on the working width and the working speed. Quantities we find are for guidance only. The flow can change depending on fertilizer granulometry, density, humidity, etc.
SPARE PARTS 10. SPARE PARTS The terms RIGHT (derecha), LEFT (izquierda), FRONT (delante) and iBACK (detrás) refers to the machine in starting direction. In drawings we do not repeat the same spare parts, but with different hand. Codes are in spare parts chapters. Please, when you order the spare parts, inform about the code and machine type.
