2.2. INFORMATION ON THE MACHINE

The models introduced in this manual have been designed and made exclusively allowing the

distribution of solid, granular fertilizers and of seeds in the ﬁeld. The machine is not indicated for being

used in different sectors from the agricultural one.

These machines are usually used during the day. If it is required the nocturnal use or with

poor visibility, it must use the lighting system of the tractor or of the equipment to which the machine

is connected.

A dif

ferent use, like the above mentioned one is considered improper.

Any arbitrary modiﬁcation made to this machine relieve the manufacturer from any responsibility for

damages or lesions, also serious, that can be caused to the operators, to third parties or to things.

2.2.1. NAME PLATE

On the hopper of every machine, a name plate is ﬁxed showing the model, the number of series and

the year of construction of the machine.

When some spare parts are required, it is always necessary to refer to the type of machine, to the

serial number and to the manufacturing year

.

2.2.2. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MACHINE

The great spreading precision of these kind of fertlizer spreaders lets them to be used in different

applications, both for speciﬁc cultivations and in golf courses.

The series of pendular spreaders can rely on a huge range of models adaptable with tractors of any

power.

The upper parts of the gear box are made in stainless steel in order to increase its long life to the

corrosion.

The gear box allows a spreading width adjustment from 9 meters (20 ft) to 15 meters that can be

modiﬁed according to the needs and the kind of fertilizer used.

It is possible to settle the gear box on two different orders of spreading widths: from 9 to 12 meters or

from 12 to 15 meters, by using a special key. (see paragraph 5.1.1.)

Pendular Spreader PDV - PDHV models 8

Beside the standard pendulum, several pendulum items are available for different applications, such

as for the salt spreading in which the spreading width is limited from a minimum of 2 meters to a

maximum of 4 meters, or for its use on the vineyards, the orchards or in the parks.

Spreading width adjustment key

The hopper in ﬁberglass reinforced plastic cannot rust nor be damaged.

The painting of the frame, as for all products, is made by a water base varnish with successive

backing at 150° with the application of the primer bath, assuring a great protection and long life of

the machine.

The feeding of the disc is by gravity through the exits, located on the bottom of the hopper, that can be

opened or closed by a mechanical or hydraulic system (optional). The dosage of the fertilizer is made

by operating on the opening section by a dosing rod that slides on a threaded pin with a graduate

scale.

Standard agitator

Opening lever

For the more powdered fertilizers it is possible to settle an agitator/mixer on the bottom of the hopper

to avoid the formation of lumps in the fertilizer.

For the PDV 500 and 600 models the 3-point hitch is only of category I, whereas for the other models

(PDHV 800, 1000, 1250) the hitch is of category I and II.
