Storing the machine

Avoid contact with the fertiliser and other material

It is easy to come into contact with the materials when putting away 

the machine. Always wear protective clothing, such as safety gloves, 

shoes and goggles. Read and adhere to the additional safety instruc-

tions and the of the material producer. Contact with the materials could 

lead to injury. Contact your physician in such an event!

Be careful that nothing gets jammed

It is also easy to get injured while working with the spreader.

Work safely with the machine:

•

switch the tractor off and remove the key from the ignition,

•

engage the parking brake of the tractor,

•

wait for all machine parts to come to a standstill before you 

approach it,

•

wear protective clothing, such as safety gloves and shoes,

•

carefully follow the instructions given.

Friction with these materials could cause physical injury.

Protect the machine

Fertiliser  and  other  salts  have  a  great  influence  on  the  rate  of 

corrosion.  Empty  the  hopper  at  the  end  of  activities.  Protect  the 

machine  by  always  cleaning  it  after  using  such  material  and  patch 

breaks in the paint. Corrosion affects the strength of the construction 

and the operation of the machine, which could lead to a shortened life 

span.

Be careful while cleaning with high pressure cleaners

The machine can be cleaned with water or steam. Use low pressure 

with  turning  parts,  sensors,  parts  of  the  electric  system,  hydraulic 

hoses and plastic parts.

Waste storage and disposal

The  waste  water  from  cleaning  the  machine  is  contaminated  with 

fertiliser  and  possibly  also  with  lubrications.  Collect  the  waste  and 

dispose of it in terms of national regulations.

Cleaning

If the machine is being put away for a short or longer period of time it 

is recommended that you lubricate and clean it first. If it is lubricated 

first  you  will  prevent  dirt,  fertiliser  and  water  from  entering  the 

bearings.

The advantages of this method of working are:

•

additional checks on the machine right after work,

•

ensuring the longevity of the machine,

•

less delays due to problems while working with the machine.

Lower the spreader.

Open the dosing unit.

Switch the tractor off, remove the key from the ignition and engage 

the parking brake of the tractor.

Clean old grease from the grease nipples with a cloth.

Lubricate the machine grease nipples.

See paragraph »Maintenance« on page 124.

Clean the machine.
