6.3 ADJUSTMENT OF FERTILIZER SPREADING

Adjustment and total fertilizer output opening; the output control system is independent for each disc.

There is a plate (Fig. A) on which there are two levers - one on the right and one the left. The levers are

used to adjust the amount of fertilizer to be spread. After checking on the spreading chart (See Page 14)

the number to be adjusted, move the levers and lock them on the number indicating the desired amount.

When the levers are as shown in picture A, the fertilizer output is wide open. Contrary, when the levers are

as shown in picture B, the fertilizer output is closed. Adjustment and fertilizer output opening only on one

side (left or right) - if the fertilizer must be spread only on one side, just set the levers so that only one of

them makes the opening (Fig. C). With the machine rear side in front of you, open the left levers to spread

from left hand side and vice-versa.

The machine is provided with hydraulic cylinders that

operate the opening of the distribution system.

The hydraulic cylinder is "to simple effect" type (the

distribution opening is due to the oil presence).

Dosage adjustment - To make an adjustment of the dosage (fertilizer

quantity per acre) there is a split system - the right spreading disc is

provided with an adjustment system, separate from the left one. To obtain

the adjustment of the dosage you have to move the adjusting slot lever for each disc. Each adjusting slot is

provided with a measuring scale with 18 dosage positions. The 0 position means "shut" (Pic A below); to

raise the spreading move gradually the lever toward the external side. The 18 position means "max". The

presence of two separate controls allow to spread in a different way on the right side and on the left one

(Pic. B below). To move the lever you have to screw the adjusting knob off, set the lever in a desired posi-

tion and screw the knob again (Pic. C below).
