Operating manual Operating the SuperVario®
3.9 Setting the agitator
Because grasses, in contrast to seeds with a grain structure, have very poor
fl ow properties, the agitator must be adjusted accordingly.
Setting for grasses:
Upper stirring shaft on one side
Lower stirring shaft at a ratio of 2/3 t 1/3
Setting for remaining products:
Upper stirring shaft removed
Lower stirring shaft at a ratio of 1 to 1
Danger!
Do not adjust the stirring shafts if the agitator is installed,
which otherwise could lead to bearing failure on the motor.
1. Remove the hopper.
2. Firmly hold the spreading disc and loosen the agitator by turning to the
right.
Important: Left-hand thread!
3. Install the stirring shaft appropriately.
3.10 Empty indicator
