    In order to achieve an optimum spreading result in the AUTO km/h operating mode, a calibration should be carried out before starting spreading. Carry out a calibration to determine the flow factor Take the flow factor from the fertilizer chart and manually enter the flow factor. Press Start/Stop. The spreading starts. 5902662 QUANTRON-A AXIS/MDS...
