Spreading operation 10/32
6 Spreading operation
Start spreading:
Control system and spreader are
set to “PAUSE” ➯
Push spreading / pause button
“PAUSE” changes to output rates:
right chamber (50 g/m²) + left
chamber (50 g/m²) = Total (100 g/
m²)
➯
Pause:
Push spreading / pause button
Control system and spreader are
set to “PAUSE” again ➯

// BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS
Setting of spreading width 11/32
7 Setting of spreading width
This chapter gives you information on the following:
•Chapter "Configuration of spreading width"
The spreading width is infinitely variable.
Example for basic setting (5,0 m)
Turn middle turning knob to set
spreading width (4,5 m) ➯

// BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS
Output rates 12/32
8 Output rates
The output rates for the left and right spreading chamber can be set to different
values. If different spreading materials exist in the chambers, it is possible to set any
desired mixing ratio of both spreading materials.
Example for basic setting (right
chamber = 50 g/m², left chamber
= 50 g/m²).
Turn right turning knob to change
output rate of right chamber
(Example: 57 g/m²) ➯
Turn left turning knob to change
output rate of left chamber
(Example: 58 g/m²) ➯
If the spreading button is pressed, the sum
of the output rates is shown in the middle.

// BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS
Output rates 13/32
In this example (50 g/m² + 50 g/
m² = 100 g/m²) ➯
Hinweis
Part of brine of pre-wetted salt equipment (here FS35) indicates the percentage of
brine (if switched on) based on the total output:
•Brine spreading (in this example FS35) is attributed to the percentage of salt, i.e.
the proportion of salt (50 g/m²) contains 35% of brine.
➯Example: 32.5 g/m² salt + 17.5 g/m² brine = 50 g/m² (combined)
➯Brine proportion (in this example 35 %) is only attributed to salt or refined
salt.

Double spreading density 16/32
11 Double spreading density
The double quantity of spreading material is put out.
Simple mode, no double output
Example:
Simple mode ➯
Hold down
Double spreading density ➯
Hinweis
The double quantity of spreading material is spread as long as the button is pushed
down.

// BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS
Operator level 1 and 2 17/32
12 Operator level 1 and 2
You have the possibility to store two different data sets for the two operator levels.
Operator level 1
Operator level 2
Example:
Operator level 1 ➯
Push
Operator level 2 ➯
Hinweis
After switching on, you always start at operator level 1.

Path-dependence and manual
operation
18/32
13 Path-dependence and manual operation
Difference path-dependence and manual operation:
Path-dependent spreading
The control system calculates the quantity of spreading material for the
spreading operation on the basis of the vehicle speed.
Manual operation
During manual operation, the control system calculates the quantity of spreading
material for the spreading operation by means of the set simulation speed (see
Chapter "Simulation speed"), regardless of the actual vehicle speed.
Change from path-dependence to manual operation:
1 Start screen
2left Press and hold down actual value button
➯
3Press manual operation button
