Storage and maintenance.
After ending operation, the spreader must be carefully cleaned and
washed with a stream of water, and then left it in a dry and ventilated area. In
the event of failure of these actions on the zinc coating, dark and light gray
areas (spots) may occur, which do not constitute grounds for complaint if the
zinc coating still has the required minimum thickness (PN-EN ISO 1461: 2000).
In the case of damage of the external paint coating, the damaged areas must
be cleaned of rust and dust, degreased, and painted retaining the same color
and uniform thickness of the protective coating. Until painting, the damaged
areas should be covered with a thin layer of grease or anticorrosion
preparation.
During a long break in the use of the spreader, it is desirable to place it
indoors or in a covered, ventilated place. It is also advisable that the metal
parts not coated with paint are secured with an anti-corrosion preparation of
temporary protection or a layer of grease. During a long break in the use of
the spreader, it cannot be loaded. After every use of the mini-spreader, clean
the couplings of the driving axle. Failure to do so may lead to jamming of the
clutch.
