fertilizer.
2 The operator activates the Liquid Fertilizer using the controls.
Result:
•The pump rotates.
•The flow sensor measures the flow rate.
3 The liquid fertilizer is drawn from the tank through a filter. Using the pump, the medium is
pressurised (max. 4 bar) and then pumped to the distributors.
4 The fertilizer is spread through the nozzles.

4 Installation and commissioning
Overview
In this section, you will learn which work steps must be performed for the installation and commissioning
of the Liquid Fertilizer and what must be done and observed.
4.1 Attaching the Liquid Fertilizer implement to a tractor
Purpose
For field operation, the Liquid Fertilizer can be attached directly to the front of a tractor using
the 3-point hitch.
Requirements
The following requirement must be fulfilled for this work step:
The implement is disconnected from the power source, see Disconnecting the Liquid Fertilizer from the
power source on page 29 for more information.
Required components, tools and materials
For this work step, the following components, tools and materials are required:
•Cat. 2 top link
•Top link pin with linchpin
•2x linchpin for the lower link attachment
Procedure for attachment
To attach the Liquid Fertilizer to a tractor:
Step Description Explanation/illustration
1 Drive the tractor towards the implement.
2 Connect the two lower links to the LF 600 M1.
3 Adjust the Cat. 2 top link to the right length and couple onto
the implement using the top link pin.
During operation, the LF should
be aligned vertically to achieve
optimal emptying.
4.2 Installing nozzles on the soil tillage implement
Purpose
The nozzles are used to spread the liquid fertilizer in the right position on the soil tillage implement or
seed drill.

APV – Technische Produkte GmbH Original operating manual LF 600 M1 Page 17
Requirements
The following requirements must be met for optimal fertilizer distribution:
•The distributor must be installed horizontally on the implement in working position.
•The pressure gauge must be installed where it can be checked from the driver's seat during
operation.
Required components, tools and materials
For this work step, the following components, tools and materials are required:
•Distributor with bracket
•Connecting hose
•Pressure gauge with bracket
•Nozzle holder
•Nozzle
•Hexagon key
Procedure for installation
To install the nozzles on the soil tillage implement or seeding units:
Step Description Explanation/illustration
1 Distribute the nozzles evenly across the entire working
width or on the seeding units of the implement.
2 Fasten the nozzle holder (plug connector) on the
implement.
3 Connect the hoses to the nozzle holder (plug connector),
see Connecting the hoses for more information (page 17).
4.3 Connecting the hoses
Purpose
The hoses carry the liquid fertilizer from the pump unit to the soil on the field. Before initial operation, all
hoses must be cut to an equal length between the distributor and the grooves and must be connected to
the nozzle holders.
For checking purposes, a pressure gauge is inserted in a hose between the distributor and nozzle holder
using a T-piece.
Requirements
The following requirement must be fulfilled for this work step:
•None
Required components, tools and materials
For this work step, the following components, tools and materials are required:
•Hose roll
•Hose cutter

Page 18 Original operating manual LF 600 M1 APV – Technische Produkte GmbH
Procedure
To connect the hoses to the distributor:
Step Description Illustration
1 Using a sharp cutting tool, cut hose sections from the hose
roll in the equal lengths required respectively. The cut edge
on the hose must be at 90°.
2 Insert the cut-off hoses into the plug connections on the
distributor up to the end stop and pull lightly to make sure
they are firmly attached.
3 At the other end, the hoses are fastened to the nozzle
holders using plug connectors. Between the distributor and
nozzle holder, a hose needs to be severed and connected
to the pressure gauge using a T-piece and another piece of
hose.
4 The feed line between the pump unit and distributor must
be adjusted to the desired length. It can be closed off at the
pump unit using the quick fastener when uncoupling the soil
tillage implement.

APV – Technische Produkte GmbH Original operating manual LF 600 M1 Page 19
5 Control box
In this chapter, you will learn which settings need to be made on the control box to be able to operate the
Liquid Fertilizer and set the required spread rate.
5.1 Items included and connection
Information about the items included and the electric connection can be found in the operating manual
that is included with the control box.
5.2 Basic settings
To be able to operate the Liquid Fertilizer, you must select implement type "LF" on the control box. There
are two ways to do this:
•When you switch on the control box for the first time, you will be asked about the implement type,
among other things. Here, you must select "LF" using the +/- keys and confirm with OK.
•If the control box has already be used, you must make this setting in the Programming menu. To
do so, when the control box is switched off, press and hold the ON/OFF button until "0. Implement
type" appears on the display. Here, you must also select "LF" using the +/- keys and confirm with
OK.
As soon as you have selected LF once as the implement type, it remains stored. If you should want to
use the same control box to operate other implement series, you can change the setting again in the
Programming menu as described above.
5.3 Main display
When you switch on the box, the main screen appears on the display (= the Work screen). It shows the
current motor speed in %, the set forward speed, and the set spread rate.
The Work screen looks slightly different depending on whether you are working with or without a speed
sensor:
Figure 5 shows the Work screen without a speed sensor. To reach the desired spread rate, the set
forward speed must be precisely maintained!
Figure 6 shows the Work screen with a speed sensor. Here, the actual driven speed can deviate from
the preset value - the differences are calculated and compensated for by the control box.
As a result, you always apply the desired quantity per area.
5.4 Settings
By pressing the arrow keys, you can reach the other menu points. To make further settings, press an
arrow key until the Settings menu point is reached. You can enter the Settings menu by pressing the OK
button. The following items can be found there, which can be scrolled through using the arrow keys:

Page 20 Original operating manual LF 600 M1 APV – Technische Produkte GmbH
5.4.1
Spread rate
(l/ha)
In this menu point, the desired spread rate can be set by pressing the
+ or – key. By holding the + or - key, the value is changed more
quickly.
5.4.2
Working width
In this menu point, the desired working width can be set by pressing
the + or – key. By holding the + or - key, the value is changed more
quickly.
5.4.3
Forward speed
In this menu point, the desired forward speed can be set by pressing
the + or – key. By holding the + or - key, the value is changed more
quickly.
5.4.4
Pulses per litre
In this menu point, the pulses per litre that are emitted by the flow
sensor can be set by pressing the + or – key. By holding the + or -
key, the value is changed more quickly.
The value can be seen on the flow sensor and should remain set at
400 pulses per litre (default value).
If, contrary to expectations, the actual spread rate should consistently
deviate from the target spread rate, corrections can be made by
adjusting this value. For example, if the spread rate is 5% too high,
this value must be reduced by 5% and vice-versa.
5.4.5
To the Main menu
Select this menu point with the OK button to go back to the Main/Work
screen.
5.5 Emptying
The Emptying menu is reached by pressing the arrow keys. By pressing the OK button, the pump is
switched on and operated at full speed. Depending on the position of the stop taps, this function can
either be used to stir the tank contents or also to empty the tank.
5.6 Trip and total counters
By pressing the arrow keys on the Main screen, different counter
readings can be called up. By pressing and holding the OK button for 5
seconds, the trip counter can be set to zero.
Beside the quantity counter, there is also a counter for the area and the
operating hours. The trip counter can also be set to zero here by
pressing and holding the OK button.
