2. Taking AgroDos® into operation
2.1 Preparing the implement holder
Theimplementholderisspecicallydependentuponthecarriervehiclepro-
vided, and must be adapted to its conditions. As a result, the implement holder
is not supplied.
Implement holder for AgroDos®
For the AgroDos® 12 litre and 22 litre variants, we recommend using a
square-proletube(1) with dimensions 30 x 30 x 3 mm as the implement
holder.
For the AgroDos®70litre,werecommendusingasquare-proletube(1) with
dimensions 40 x 40 x 3 mm as the implement holder.

2.2 Mounting AgroDos®
On the AgroDos® 12 litre and 22 litre variants, the holders for attaching to the
square-proletubearepre-installedonthesuppliedunit.Theholderforthe
AgroDos® 70 litre variant is installed as described below.
AgroDos® 70 litre variant
1. Positioning the holder
Attach the holder (2) on AgroDos® from the inside with screws (1) (M8x30
8.8).
Push screws (1) from the outside through the housing.

Push the AgroDos® spreader onto the prepared implement holder (1) on the
carrier vehicle.
Screw the spreader onto the holder (2) for the spreader using four screws (4)
(M8x65 8.8) and two backing plates (3).
Check that AgroDos® is securely attached and that the container is sitting
correctly in the container mounting.
The AgroDos® 12 litre and 22 litre variants are mounted in accordance with
the 70 litre variant.
2.3 Installing shtails
InstallshtailssothatamountingheightAof 4 - 7 cm above the ground is
guaranteed during operation. This produces a spreading width Bof approx.
15 - 20 cm. Please comply with the information from the spreading material
manufacturer.

2.4 Installing hoses
Securethesuppliedhosesontotheshtailsusinghoseclamps.Routethe
hoses as perpendicular as possible to one plant or seed row each.
Ifitisdenedwherethespreaderwillbemountedonthecarrierunit,cutthe
hoses to length accordingly and secure on the hose connection with a hose
clamp.
2.5 Electrical connection
Technical data, electrical system
Operating voltage 12 to 15 V
Fuse 25 A
Speed range 20 to 120 rpm
Power consumption of motor 3 A
Operating temperature -10 to +70 °C
Storage temperature -30 to +70 °C
Power loss must be taken into account when extending cables. A poor power
supply may prevent you from achieving the desired speed. Also, this could
lead to intermittent complete failure.
2.6 Operating additional spreaders (electrical connection)
Important!
Make sure that only spreaders with equally sized rotary
feeders are connected together. Differently sized rotary
feeders have different output rates.
It is possible to connect up to 5 AgroDos® units together electrically and op-
erate them with one control panel.
The electrical connection is the same on all three AgroDos® variants

2.7 Operating additional spreaders (mechanical
connection)
The design of the individual spreader means that only machines with a bevel
drive can be mechanically connected. In the mechanical connection, the
electricmotorisonlyallowedtobettedontherstspreader(seegure).On
additionalspreaders,theelectricmotormustbereplacedbyacouplingange.
For more information, please contact the product specialists at Lehner.
2.7.1 Mechanical connection of the AgroDos® 22 litre variant
Forconnectingthespreaders,itisrstnecessarytopositionthemonthe
square-proletubeandthensecurethem.Positionthedrivingspreaderonthe
outside with the electric motor pointing outwards. Insert the coupling rod into
theangesbetweentwospreadersbypullingapart.Securetheconnecting
elementwithscrewsintheangestopreventthemfromfallingout.
It is possible to connect up to 4 AgroDos® units mechanically.
