Page 5: General Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Vicon SuperFlow fertiliser spreader can be used for spreading granulated fertilisers, powders, cereals and seeds . The PS225 - PS503 VITI and PS604 - PS 1654 are mounted on the hydraulic three-point linkage of the tractor . A set of wheels is optionally available for all these models . -
Page 6: Preface
PREFACE In this instruction manual we will explain how to use and maintain the PS pendulum spreader . It contains infor- mation about the adjustment and maintenance and gives directions for trouble shooting . Read the instructions and safety regulations before you begin to work with your machine! Make sure that this manual is made available for those working with the spreader . -
Page 8: Safety Regulations
SAFETY REGULATIONS DANGER: If you come across this symbol and heading, there is a direct hazard to life and health of man and animal. ATTENTION: This heading refers to possible risks of damage to machine(s), crops, buildings, etc., but also to possible financial and/or legal problems (warranty, liability, and the like). - Page 9 The spreader is designed to CARRY a certain load, not to TOW! Consequently, under international CE regulations it is prohibited to let the spreader tow anything . Mounting a towing hook has nega- tive consequences for the machine construction . Kverneland does not accept any liability for dam- age caused this way .

Page 10: Danger Sticker-Explanation Texts
DANGER STICKER-EXPLANATION TEXTS Stop the engine and prevent any starting up when working on the machine. In this way you will prevent the perilous situations arising when a machine suddenly starts running . Also think of accidental engag- ing if the engine should remain running! Keep clear: objects may be flung away! Remember that fertiliser granules are flung away to the rear and to the sides . -

To spread the fertiliser as evenly as possible up to the field border when working with the one-sided spreading plate, you should lower the pto speed (370 rpm) and reduce the application rate by 50% at least (30 to 50% of full-field application rate) .
