Checking lateral distribution

16 mats are placed on the field at specific intervals. The distances between the mats depend on the working width of the fertilizer spreader and these distances are displayed in the mySpreader app. While spreading, the fertilizer is collected on 16 mats. In the mySpreader app, there is a symbol for each of the 16 mats. Use the mat symbols to take a photo for evaluation of each mat.

NOTE
With transparent, very fine or dark fertilizer, in some cases it is possible that the photos will not be evaluated correctly.

If the mats cannot be evaluated via the photos, Using the calibration set.

  1. Select the machine and fertilizer in the mySpreader app.
  2. Tap on Optimize.
  1. Tap on EasyCheck.
  1. Check spreader settings.
  1. Lay out 16 mats at the specified distances.
NOTE

The first row of mats must be in a tramline.

The indicated mat spacing is based on the center-points of the mats.

In the direction of travel, the mats must be spaced at least 3,28 ft (1m) apart.

  1. In tramline 1, drive over the row of mats while spreading.
  2. In tramline 2, drive and spread.

  3. If the fertilizer spreader spreads beyond the next tramline:

    In tramline 3, drive and spread.

  1. To take a photo of a mat:

    Tap on a mat symbol.
NOTE
The table below shows a correct example and an incorrect (negative) example for the photo.

Rules for the photo:

  • The white squares must be in the notches on the mats.

  • The mat should not be in shadow.

  • The mat must not be covered or concealed by plants or objects.

  1. Take a correct photo of the mat corresponding to the mat symbol.

The result of the evaluation will be shown.

NOTE
Every detected fertilizer granule will be marked with a yellow point. Only the area between the inner corner points of the notches are evaluated.

  1. If the result agrees with the distribution on the mat:

    Confirm the determined value.

or

If the result does not agree with the distribution on the mat:

Take another photo.

  1. Take a valid photo of each mat by means of the appropriate mat symbol.
NOTE

If the mats cannot be evaluated via the photos, Using the calibration set.

  1. Select NEXT.
  1. Adjust the fertilizer spreader with the values under Optimized settings.
  2. Select Save.

The results of the check will be stored in the history of the mySpreader app.

  1. If the values should be adjusted:

    Under "Optimize", select "Adjust manually".
  2. Set the optimized settings on the spreader.
