II. MACHINE PREPARATION FOR FERTILISER DISTRIBUTION
1.0. Loading of the fertiliser distributor
The height of the rear upper edge of the container does not exceed 1.24 m. Do not
load the fertiliser in the amount exceeding the container capacity specified by the
manufacturer in specifications
NOTE:
Inside the container, at the rear wall, there is a graduated capacity gauge. Avoid
loading fertilisers that are clumped, contaminated with foreign matter or wet and prone
to smearing, as this may reduce the quality of the fertiliser distribution operation or
even prevent it.
During loading, the relieving screens inside the container must be lowered, mounted
in their holders and secured with screws and nuts.
Distribution dose adjustment
The volume of the fertiliser distributed over a given area depends on the following:
- the size of the slot through which the fertiliser is fed from the container to the
distributor’s discs;
- the speed of the unit;
- width of the distribution zone.
At the back of the fertiliser distributor, above each of the distribution discs, there is a
movable lever connected with the adjustment damper at the bottom of the container.
The degree of opening of the slot is determined by the scale along which the lever can
be moved.
In order for an identical volume of fertiliser to be distributed through both discs,
make
sure both levers are positioned identically during the machine operation
.
Once
the fertiliser distribution has been adjusted, secure the positioning of the lever with the
knob.
Both slots are opened (operation) and closed (u-turns and transport) with the lever
from the tractor.
Dose adjustment in a suspended machine
is done with the drive switched off
and
closed dampers. Adjust the settings of the dampers with the lever in the following
order:
- close the dampers;
- loosen the pressure nut (a bakelite knob);
- set the indicator in the correct position on the graduated scale;
- tighten the pressure nut.
1.1. Explanation of symbols used
The PTO speed is usually 540 rpm. Possible variations are given in the distribution
data table.
Exceeding the permissible load capacity may damage the machine and
cause a risk of accident at work.
The fertiliser distributor can be loaded only after it has been
coupled with the three-point linkage of the tractor.
