Approved machines come equipped with an approval plate as well as a brake system and lighting. This approval is for any country within the E.U.
the worker is king SANDSPREADER CONSTRUCTION A Sandspreader has many different components and parts. This chapter will describe each of them. 6.1. The frame The frame carries the sand bunker and the extra conveyor belt. Under the frame there are two oscillating axles equipped with 2 wheels each. 6.2.
the worker is king SANDSPREADER OPERATION To ensure the proper spreading pattern for your desired result, it is important to understand how to operate each component and to learn what their individual effect is on the sand. The three most common spreading patterns are as follows: Oval spreading pattern The oval or rounded image provides good results and is most commonly used.
the worker is king 7.1. Connecting and disconnecting the Sandspreader The following steps describe how to connect and disconnect the Sandspreader. The sandbox must never be filled while the machine is disconnected. Stay clear from the area between the tractor and trailed vehicle when connected. In case of an emergency, stop the tractor and machine, switch it off and leave the tractor.
the worker is king 7.2. Adjusting spreading width Via speed disk unit The rotational speed of the dishes determines the spreading width. The higher the rotational speed, the wider the spread. The following are instructions for adjusting the speed. Operation on machine: Proportional: Apply the parking brake of the tractor;...
the worker is king 7.3. Adjusting the spreading pattern Via distancing dish unit Changing the distance determines where the sand leaves the dishes. When the dish is further away from the machine, the sand is spread more evenly. When the dish is closer to the machine, more sand is sprinkled at the edges. This gives a ‘V-shaped’ spreading pattern.
the worker is king 7.4. Adjusting the layer thickness In addition to the options below, there are many ways to change the spreading thickness. The spreading pattern settings also in- fluence layer thickness. For the correct optimization, maintain a consistent travel speed. Via speed conveyor belt There is a conveyor belt under the bunker that transports sand to the dish unit.

This valve, whether manually or hydraulically, limits the transport of sand to the dishes. Operation on machine: Proportional: Switch off the tractor including all hydraulics; Switch off the tractor including all hydraulics;...
the worker is king 7.5. Other optimization possibilities Take the following into account: • It is best to use slightly damp or moist sand; • If the opening of the dosing valve is too large, there will be an interruption of the sand flow and sand will spread unevenly. Reduce the opening and increase the speed of the conveyor belt for the same yield.
