2. Commissioning the SuperVario®
2.1 Mounting the frame
The SuperVario®can be screwed on directly or an auxiliary bracket can be
used.
Mounting holes have been provided on the back of the frame.
Please refer to the spreading charts for the delivery height (1.00 - 1.30 m).
The SuperVario®can be attached on the front or rear of a tractor, off-road
vehicle, ATV or soil cultivation implement. Because a full hopper makes the
SuperVario®considerably heavier, the load capacity of side walls and other
brackets is to be checked.

2.4 Mounting the control panel
Caution!
Ensure that the cable is not routed over any sharp
edges.

battery. Place the cable end with socket into the carrier vehicle.
