Loosen the fixing screws [1] (from the outside to the inside), and
swing down.
After loosening the last fixing screw [1], the spreader floor [2] can be
flapped down.
Remove the rest of the chips, and lean the spreader apertures [3].
Fold up the spreader bottom [2].
Fold up and tighten the retaining screws [1] (from the inside to the
outside).
Determine the quantity of chips
The exact setting for the quantity of chips is determined by tests
conducted according to the following procedure:
Open the shut-off slider: Set the lever to a scale value of 20.
Set the spreader shaft speed to maximum rotational speed.
Perform a sprinkle test by sprinkling a paper sheet 297 × 210 mm
(DIN A4) (11.69 × 8.27").
Weigh the chips from the paper sheet or fill it into a metering box
(size 100 ml (0.26 US gal.)).
Compare amount with tabular value.
If the correct rate of spread is not reached, readjust the shut-off slider
or the vehicle speed and repeat the test.
Rough estimate for the quantity of chips on a 297 × 210 mm sheet of
paper at a chip density of about 1.6 kg/dm³.
