Design and mode of operationDesign and mode of operation
Design and mode of operation
The “WD 40 M2” universal spreader is a small seed spreader with a 40 litre capacity.
The scatter disc is driven by a 12 V electric motor regulated by the controller. The
speed of the scatter disc, and therefore the working width, can easily be regulated
with the controller from the driver's seat. The power supply for the control module is
supplied directly, via the battery; however, it can also be supplied via the standard
three-pin plug if this is fitted to the original power lead. In this case, the fuse must still
be fitted in the power lead.

Attaching to the tractor
For this type of attachment, screw
the tractor drawbar between your
WD 40 M2 and the supplied
counter plate. You should use
bolts with a diameter of 10mm.
Fasten the upper linkage of your
tractor into position with the bolt.

In order to extend the WD 40 M2 with an attachment,
the best way is to use the counter plate. Use this to
secure your WD 40 M2 to a frame on the
attachment.
Please ensure that the device is attached at a height of
approx. one metre above the crop or the ground.

The electrical cable, provided as part of the standard

can connect it to other plug sockets (in the tractor cab),
however always ensure that these are 100% in contact.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
•Do not remove or bypass the fuse, or use a higher-
rated fuse than that specified in the operating
instructions! This can result in damage to the
control module.
•The 12 V power supply must NOT be
connected to the socket for the cigarette lighter!
•The cable with the fuse (20A)
(20A)(20A)
(20A) must be
connected to the positive terminal, and the
other cable to the negative terminal.
•If a different cable is used, it must have a cable
cross-section of 2.5 mm² and must be fused.
•After use, the device must be disconnected
from the battery, since the control box will
otherwise continue to draw power.

In order to ensure that the machine is fully emptied, turn it
upside down. It is sometimes necessary to remove the
plastic tank for the purpose of cleaning or emptying. The
tank is secured at the top of the steel frame with 2 round-
head screw (M6x25), which must be removed in this case.

TIP: When reattaching the tank, seal the cone again with

Control moduleControl module
Control module
The small spreader is outfitted with a control module with a hermetically sealed
membrane keyboard. A two-pin plug (for connection to the battery) and a four-pin
plug (for connection of the scatter device to the control module) are located on the
underside.
The “On Off” button, used to switch the device on and off, is at the
AAbottom left.
The “-” and “+” buttons can be used to continuously regulate the speed of
the scatter disc.
Under these you can find the buttons to “close” and “open” the slide
valve.
The scatter disc starts to turn by actuating the “On Off” button. The indicator lamp
then lights up above the button, indicating that the supply voltage is connected.
You can then control the speed of the scatter disc according to your requirements
using the “-” or “+” button.
If you then want to pull off and start scattering seed, you must use the “open slide
valve” button to open the slide valve; the indicator light for “slide valve open” above
the button lights up.
The scatter material then trickles onto the scatter disc and is spread in accordance
with the speed. When stopping, press the “close slide valve” button (indicator light for
“slide valve closed” above the button lights up) and the slide valve closes.
It only makes sense to switch off the motor as well when leaving the field.

The scatter width is dependent on the density and shape of the scatter material and
the speed of the scatter disc. The seed spreader is designed to be able to evenly
spread scatter-material over an area of 12 m. For this to be successful, the battery
and generator must be in a good condition. Please see the scatter tables and point 13
for the precise settings for sowing volume, working width, etc. We recommend
attaching the scatter device 1 m above the ground or the crop to achieve an
acceptable scatter density.
Note:
Note:Note:
Note: If the WD 40 M2 is fitted to machines with a small working width, and the seed
is to be scattered directly into in front of the roller, the scatter device can even be
angled down slightly. However, please note that the tank will only be fully emptied if it
is level!

With the supplied deflector, which is to fix

Example of use:
Watch the scattering cone and see, that on the one hand side the device overlaps
more than on the other. Then take the deflector and fix it with the cup square bolt and
the M6 wing nut which is affixed behind the diffusing panel on the square cut recess.

Scatter disc, lateral distribution, throw bladesScatter disc, lateral distribution, throw blades
Scatter disc, lateral distribution, throw blades
The scatter disc must run in an anticlockwise
direction. The adjustable throw blades fastened to
the scatter disc allow the scatter distribution to be
adjusted to the specific weight of the scatter
material. This results in an even lateral
distribution. Under normal circumstances, the two
throw blades should be centred on each other. If
the lateral distribution is not suitable, for most
scatter widths and materials, you should adjust
the throw blades in the following ways:
If the throw blades are in the front position, the
scatter material leaves the scatter disc somewhat later and is thrown slightly more to
the right (from the perspective of someone standing in front of the machine).
If the throw blades are in the rear position, the scatter material leaves the scatter disc
somewhat earlier and is thrown slightly more to the left (from the perspective of
someone standing in front of the machine).
