    Spreading work Spreading work General Information The modern technology and design of our single-disc spreaders, and exhaustive, continuous testing in our own spreading material test facilities ensure that you will have a perfect spreading pattern. Our machines are manufactured with great care. However, even if the equipment is used exactly as intended, variations in the spreading results and other faults cannot be completely excluded.

  • Page 88: General Instructions For The Agitator

    Spreading work Select the PTO and spreading disc speeds so that the spreading width is ob- tained without leaving deposits on the spreading disc. Lower PTO and spreading disc speeds reduce the wear of agitator and spreading disc. Particularly hard spreader material types, e.g. grit, increase the wear on the spreading vanes.

  • Page 89: Spreading Sequence

    Spreading work Spreading sequence The intended use of the single-disc spreader includes the observance of service, maintenance, and repair instructions specified by the manufacturer. Therefore, spreading operations always include the preparation and cleaning/mainte- nancework. n DANGER Risk of injury during spreading. Contact with the rotating machine components (universal drive shaft, spreading disc, agitator) can lead to injury.
