4.4. CONNECTION TO THE 3-POINT HITCH OF THE TRACTOR
For the connection of the machine to the tractor, please operate in the following way:
• Step backwards with the tractor until arriving in proximity of the lower connections of the fertilizer
spreader.
• Fix the lower connections of the tractor to the pins of the machine and lock them with the safety
plugs.
• Connect the upper linkage of the machine to the 3-point hitch of the tractor putting the appropriate pin
and block the anti-unscrewing device of the 3-point hitch;
• Raise the machine of some centimetres by the ground and operate on the lateral ties of the lifter
bars and on the two turnbuckles, in order to block the lateral movement, so as to prevent excessive
oscillations during the working phase.
The machine must be positioned, through the raising of the lower connections of the tractor, so that the
land distance from the lower extremity of the distributor disc is approximately of 70 cm. To obtain
a regular distribution, it is important that the distributor disc is in horizontal position compared to the
land.
• After having made these operations, the pto shaft must be linked to the splined shaft of the
gearbox of the machine (covered by a safety cowling) and after to the tractor power take-off.
4.5. DRIVELINE INSTALLATION
Before using the pto shaft, please consult the use and maintenance manual attached to the pto
shaft.
In case that the pto shaft, supplied with the machine, is not used, please check that the cowlings of the
machines and of tractors are overlapped to the pto shaft’s shield of 5 cm., at least.
For a correct and safe operation of the machine, please use exclusively pto shafts with CE mark.
Please use pto shafts with integral shields.
• Grease periodically, the pto shaft following the instruction supplied by the pto shaft manufacturer
(see the use and maintenance manual of the pto shaft).
• Observe the sense of assembly of the pto shaft, as indicated by the manufacturer and shown on the
outer cover of the shield (tractor drawing on the external tube of the pto shaft towards the power take-off of
the same tractor).
ATTENTION!
Every time that somebody comes down from the tractor, it is
necessary to disconnect the PTO shaft, stopping the engine and
to put on the parking brake.
ATTENTION!
The PTO shaft must always be connected to at last to the power
take off and disconnected at first, when you stop working.

• Fasten the safety ant-rotation chains and make sure that the safety anti- removing block (push
connecting ring nut) is correctly placed and blocked in the right lodging.
The length of the pto shaft must be adapted to the type of used tractor.
When the pto shaft is released from the power take-off of the tractor must ALWAYS be laid on the
appropriate support.
COSMO Company is not responsible for the damages caused by an incorrect assembly
and use of the pto shaft.
5. FERTILIZER SPREADER USE
Recommendations for a correct distribution
• Please test always the kg/ha that you wish to spread before starting to work.
• Use a fertilizer in perfect conditions: a humid fertilizer could not be spreaded uniformly and
correctly.
• Avoid to spread the fertilizer during windy days, in order to improve the uniformity of the distribution.
• Do not connect the power take-off that operates the spreading disc when the tractor is picked up; low
RPM until it idles and afterwards speed up gradually till you can achieve a speed of 540 RPM.
• Open the fertilizer shutters only when the desired speed is achieved.
• Do not spread fertilizer in windy days.
ATTENTION!
During the use of the machine, please be sure that for a radius of
50 meters there are not any person or animals. If somebody
comes up, please stop immediately the tractor engine.
ATTENTION!
Check the rotation sense and the speed regulation of the power
take-off of the tractor to be at 540 rpm, as the machine is
projected for this kind of speed.
ATTENTION!
Before use, please check that gears are adequately greased (see
paragraph 6.1)

5.1. ADJUSTMENTS
It is not possible to have an exact spreading chart for equipments that make use of the centrifugal
principle, given that the distributed quantity depends on the feed speed, on the radius of distribution, on
the quality and humidity of the fertilizer and on the roughness of the land. The fertilizer must always be
stored and conserved adequately, so as to keep its physical characteristics unchanged.
It is necessary to set the speed of the centrifugal spreader, before starting the operation of distribution,
trying, in the possible limits, to keep it constant for all its duration.
The spreading charts contain the indicative information, in order to determine the quantity to spread in
the field; these must be completed by the experience and competence of the operator.
5.2. HOW TO ADJUST THE SPREADING VANES
In order to assure an homogenous distribution on both sides of the centrifugal spreader, depending on
the different specific weight of the used fertilizer, the distributor vanes on the disc can have
different positions.
When all the vanes are put in hole 1 (as shown in the picture), the distribution of the product is
increased towards left, compared to the way of the tractor moving. On the contrary, if the vanes are put in
hole 4, the distribution will be bigger towards right.
Moreover, moving the vanes from position 1 to position 4, at the same speed, there will be an increase of
the distributing width of fertilizer distribution.

5.3. SPREAD PATTERN
The fertilizer spreading is regulated through the regulation lever that moves the opening section on the
bottom of the hopper.
In order to carry out the regulation, after having consulted the spreading table, according to the type of
product to spread and to the spreader speed, it is necessary to move the lever “A” along the graduated
scale “E” and blocking it in the chosen position with the pin “D”. See a further table on page 28 of this
manual.

Before using the spreader make sure that the shutters could close the holes completely with lever in
“closed” position. Otherwise adjust it through the nuts.
In order to spread from both sides (ref. I), “A” and “B” levers must be in the same position, connected
through grip handle “C”.
In order to carry out the spreading only through the left side (ref. II), it is necessary to disconnect the two
levers removing the “C” grip handle, to set the lever “A” in the chosen position, given by the spreading
chart, and to bring the lever “B” towards the higher part (position 1) in order to close the shutter of the
right side.
In order to spread only on to the right side (ref. III) you have to move the lever “A” up, (in position 1) and
regulate the quantity to spread with the lever “B”.

5.5. FULL WIDTH SPREADING
After having hitched the machine to the tractor and having carried out the necessary regulations, it is
possible to begin to work.
• Engage the axle with the pin, so that the spreader can be set in action by the turning wheels, only
• when the spreading operation has to be carried out.
• Various ways there are to spread the fertilizer in the field. One of the simplest methods is, as follows:
• Position the spreader at the beginning of the field you intend to fertilise, to a distance (D/2) that is the
half of the working width that is used (point 1);
• Drive in the field, distributing the fertilizer on all the perimeter;
• Stop the tractor at one distance (D) from the point 1, equivalent to the set working width (point 2);
• Begin the spreading proceeding in line, straight to point 3. Turn the tractor and drive a D distance,
equal to the working width (point 4);
• Repeat such procedure until all the plot will be covered.
ATTENTION! - WARNING!
The operator, during the period of use, maintenance, repair,
transport or storing of the machine, must wear accident-
prevention shoes and gloves of security. If it is necessary, he
