Gate height
Gate height is the height of the opening the rear gate has been manually set to. The
recommended height is obtained by reading the chart either on the rear of the machine
or in this guide. Note the height is from the belt to the gate, not from the top of the
cleats.
To change the gate height follow the below steps.
1. Obtain the recommended gate height from the gate chart
2. Set gate to recommended height, either with manual lever or hydraulic ram
3. Find the gate height button (located on tab 1)
4. Tap the button to enter settings mode, use -/+
arrows
to change the gate height in 5mm increments
5. Tap the button again to exit settings mode, new
gate
height is automatically saved
Alternatively, if the operator wishes to change the gate height by a large amount, it will
be faster to change the gate height by going:
Select gate height, type in required height, and tick to save.

Spread rate
Spread rate is the desired rate of application in Kg/Ha
To change the spread rate follow the below steps,
1. Find the spread rate button (located on tab 1)
It is important to note that this button provides
live feedback of the actual rate, therefore it will
be 0 if the run/hold button is off.
2. Tap the button to enter settings mode, use -/+
arrows
to change spread rate in 10kg increments
3. Tap the button again to exit settings mode, new
spread rate is automatically saved
Alternatively, if the operator wishes to change the spread rate by a large amount, it will
be faster to change the gate height by going:

Spread rate indication arrows
The spread rate has a visual indicator function that allows the operator to easily tell if
the spread rate is close to their desired set rate.
If the spread rate is within 10% +/- of the desired
rate a green bar will display next to the spread rate
If the spread rate is lower than 90% of the desired
rate, a downwards pointing red arrow will be
displayed. Possible remedies are:
Decrease forward speed
Increase gate height
Decrease spread rate
If the spread rate is constantly fluctuating from a
high to a low rate (the belt will also visibly speed up
and slow down) it is likely that the spread rate is too
low for the settings, possible remedies are:
Reduce gate height
Increase forward speed
Increase spread rate.
