Quality for Professionals It may NOT seem inconvenient and unnecessary to read and observe the operating instructions. It is not enough to hear and see from others that an implement is good, and then to buy it and believe that everything takes care of itself. The person concerned would then not only cause damage to himself, but also make the mistake of assuming that the cause of any problems is due to the implement, instead of himself.

Quality for Professionals Warranty Please check the implement for any transport damage immediately upon receipt. Later claims regarding transport damage can no longer be considered. We provide a one-year factory warranty as of the date of delivery (your invoice or the delivery slip serve as a warranty certificate).
Quality for Professionals General safety-related instructions and accident prevention regulations Check the implement and the tractor for road and operational safety before every use! The implements must be checked regularly by the operator (before every use) for any fractures and cracks, chafe marks, leaks, loose bolts and connections, vibrations, unusual sounds, and to ensure they function correctly.
Quality for Professionals When performing the work steps, the tractor's speed must maintained as specified in the operating instructions. This can be between 1 and 20 km/h depending on the seed. The operator must ensure that no one is in the vicinity of the single disc spreader when it is being moved by the tractor's hydraulic system.
Quality for Professionals When driving on roads with the implement lifted, the operating lever must be locked against lowering! Maintenance Maintenance, repair, and cleaning work as well as the elimination of malfunctions should always be performed when the drive is switched off and the motor is at a standstill! –...
Quality for Professionals Technical data Designation: ES 100 M3 EVO Hopper content: 105 litres Weight: 30 kg Dimensions (H x W x D): 900 x 520 x 600 mm Max. working width: 28 m (with 12% COV) tested by Irstea with Metarex slug pellets from De Sangosse Max.
Operating instructions Layout and mode of operation The single disc spreader "ES 100 M3 EVO" is a small seed spreader with a capacity of 105 litres. The spreading disc is driven by a 12-V electric motor, which is regulated using the controls.
Quality for Professionals Attachment of the control box Fasten the standard supplied bracket with two bolts in the tractor cab. Stow the excess cable in the driver's cab to avoid pinching. TIP: Pay attention to the angle at which you look at the control box to be able to read the display optimally.
Quality for Professionals Control box The ES 100 M3 EVO has a control box with a hermetically sealed keyboard foil. On the bottom side, a 2-pin plug (connection to the battery) and a 4-pin plug (connection of the spreader to the control box) are installed.
Quality for Professionals Regulation of the seed rate (spread rate) Proceed as follows: The required settings can be found in the corresponding setting chart. Loosen the knurled nut and set the metering slider to the required scale position. Position 0: closed;...
Quality for Professionals 7. Weigh the calibrated and collected spreading material quantity. 8. Afterwards, the correct value can be determined by changing the scale value at the metering slider and repeating the calibration. 9. Repeat this procedure until you have reached the desired spread rate. 10.
The spreader must be mounted at least 1.5 m above the ground to achieve optimal spreading density and the maximum working width. NOTE: When the ES 100 M3 EVO is mounted on implements with small working widths and the seed should be spread directly in / in front of the roller, the spreader can also be slanted slightly downwards.
Quality for Professionals Spreading disc, lateral distribution, throwing vanes The spreading disc must rotate counterclockwise. With the throwing vanes attached to the spreading disc, the spreading pattern can be adapted to the specific weight (density) of the spreading material. This results in uniform lateral distribution. The spreading plate has 2 throwing vanes that are positioned not quite parallel to each other.
Quality for Professionals Point of impact adjustment The point of impact adjustment can be used to adjust the entire spread pattern by 20° in both directions. This can be important for some spreading materials, e.g. to avoid having to adjust the throwing vanes. For example, if the spread pattern is turned by 15°...
Quality for Professionals Setting charts These tables can be used as reference values. However, they cannot be used in the same way everywhere as many factors play a role and strong changes can occur (e.g. thousand grain weight, seed moisture content, changes in flow behaviour, and much more).

Fig.: 21 Precision dispersion plate If you would like to use your ES 100 M3 EVO for small working widths, you can also purchase a precision dispersion plate. It was specially developed for small working widths (up to approx. 4 m) and causes the seed to be spread precisely in the roller (or in front of it).
Quality for Professionals 14 My idea ES 100 M3 EVO was extensively developed and tested. It took a long time from the initial idea to serial production.
