  • Page 76: Setting Normal Fertilising/Late Top Dressing

    Adjustments The mounting heights specified here in cm—usually horizontal 80/80—apply for normal fertilising. For spring fertilising, if the plants have already grown to a height of 10-40 cm, one-half of the growth height should be added to the speci- fied mounting height (e.g. 80/80). Therefore, for a growth height of 30 cm, set a mounting height of 95/95.

  • Page 77: Setting The Spread Rate

    Adjustments Mounting height for late top dressing: Using the tractor's three-point linkage, set the mounting height of the spreader so that the distance between the grain tips and the spread- ing discs is approx. 5 cm (Fig. 55).

  • Page 80: Setting The Working Width

    Adjustments Setting the working width • There are different spreading disc pairs for the various working widths. • The existing tramline system (distance between the tramlines) determines the selection of the required spreading disc pair. • The working widths are adjustable within the working ranges of the respective Omnia Set (OM) spreading disc pairs (however, there may be deviations for the spreading of urea).

  • Page 81: Replacing The Spreading Discs

    Adjustments 8.5.1 Replacing the spreading discs WARNING Danger from shearing, cutting or cutting off, catching or entan- glement and impacts by unintentional contact with moving oper- ating elements (spreading vanes of rotating spreading discs) during use of the machine without the necessary deflector. You must retrofit your fertiliser spreader with a deflector if you want to install spreading discs OM 24-36.

  • Page 82: Adjusting The Spreading Vane Positions

    Adjustments 8.5.2 Adjusting the spreading vane positions Fig. 62 The spreading vane position depends on: • the working width and • the type of fertiliser.
