3-leg power supply it has to be established by eventually buying a power supply kit from BREDAL. Do not in any case cut of the power connecter from the TeeJet 500 computer to attach to the power supply direct, all warranty claims on the computer will be lost.
Safety in general. It´s important that safety precautions have been taken in order to avoid accidents with personnel and items. Follow the directions below: Do not stay in the working/spreading area when spreader is in operation. Do not stand on the spreader when in operation Do not stay on the spreader during road transport Avoid loading items that might be the cause of injuries when spread out.
Start /stop spreading (SG). Application and spreading discs are engaged and disengaged from the operation valves on the tractor. Adjustment of application (SG). The application is set at the rear gates and the 2 valves at the front of the spreader. When spreading salt the rear gate opening is set between 25 and 50 on the scale.
The specific density is encoded in the same way. BREDAL can supply a density kit for finding the exact specific density. Then the rear gate setting must be encoded. First set the rear gates, then encode the set value in the computer under menu and scale position.
Operation. Operation 1. Start /stop spreading by pressing start /stop. Remember to engage oil flow to the spreader. When spreading is engaged two “elongated triangles” are shown. The current application. Change of application in percentage. Operation 2. When symbol ”m” is shown it´s possible to change the working width in steps of +/- 1m The current working width By pressing the round buttons it´s possible to...
Registration of applied amount. There are 10 counters at disposal in the computer. The values in these counters can be deleted. The main counter can´t be deleted. To get to the counter press menu, move cursor to counters and press enter. Then move cursor to counter to be chosen and click enter.
Alarms. The computer surveys different functions on the spreader, in case of error the alarm will go off. Once the alarm is activated, you can’t operate the computer until this alarm is set off by pressing the C button. Alarm will show if the floor belt doesn’t obtain the correct speed.

> Alarms continued. Alarm will show if menu is chosen when spreading is going on. Press C to set off the alarm, press start /stop to stop spreading, then it´s possible to access the menu. Optional alarms. It´s possible to set an alarm for almost empty hopper.
Emptying. If some material is left in the hopper it´s easy to empty this out. Press menu, choose emptying and press enter. Emptying is started by pressing start /stop Open eventually the rear gate. Settings. It´s possible to change the default settings on the computer.so it fits the best possible way for the coming task.

> Settings continued. The disc RPMs for the different working widths are default encoded in the computer. If the RPMs don’t fit the actual working width it´s possible to encode an offset in %. Press menu, choose encode, choose disc RPM offset, encode the new offset and press enter.
> Settings continued If the screen doesn’t appear clear the brightness contrast can be changed. It´s possible to choose light on or off. Press menu, choose system, choose contrast /brightness and press enter. Press menu to return to operation mode. Speed sensor calibration.
Test. In the menu test it´s possible to check the different in- and outputs. Press menu, then system, choose test and press enter. In the menu test it´s possible to check the sensors. When a sensor is activated, it will show on the screen and switch between hi and low.
Spreading salt. Downchute position. When spreading salt the downchutes must be on scale 4. Remember to set both downchutes. Height of discs. When spreading salt there must be a distance of 40 cm from the ground. Correction of spreading pattern. It´s possible to change the spreading pattern by adjustment of downchutes and disc speed.
Spreading of various materials. Fertilizer. The biggest working width with fertilizer is 10 meters. The downchute setting must be on scale 1 and the disc speed on 500 rpm. These settings are valid from 2 to 10 meters of working width, in some cases the discs speed can be reduced to 200 to 300 RPM on 2, 3 and 4 meters of working width.
General maintenance. It´s important to keep the spreader in top condition in order to prevent failures in the season. In proper time before the spreading season the spreader has to be checked and worn out parts must be replaced. If the spreader is equipped with a computer, the computer must be stored warm and dry. All electrical connections must be cleaned and sprayed with proper sprays for electrical connections.
