3.8 Service and maintenance
During service and maintenance tasks, you have to take additional dangers into
account which cannot occur during normal operation.
Carry out the service and maintenance tasks carefully and with full concen-
tration. Always work with full awareness of the risks involved.
3.8.1 Maintenance personnel qualification
Welding and work on the electrical and hydraulic systems must be carried out
by qualified technicians only.
3.8.2 Parts subject to wear and tear
Observe the maintenance and repair intervals specified in this operator's
manual exactly.
Also observe the maintenance and repair intervals for the supplied compo-
nents. See the supplier documentation for the relevant intervals
We recommend having your dealer check the condition of the AXIS H EMC
solid fertiliser broadcaster, particularly fastening components, safety-relevant
plastic components, hydraulic system, metering components and spreader
vanes, after every working season.
Replacement parts should meet the minimum technical standards specified
by the manufacturer. The technical standards can be guaranteed by using
genuine replacement parts, for example.
Self-locking nuts are designed to be used only once. Always use new self-
locking nuts to fasten components (e.g. when replacing spreading vanes).
3.8.3 Service and repair tasks
Turn the tractor motor off before starting any cleaning, maintenance, repair or
service tasks. Wait for all rotating parts to come to a stop.
Make sure that no unauthorised person can switch on the solid fertiliser
broadcaster. Take out the tractor ignition key.
Check that the tractor is correctly parked with the solid fertiliser broadcaster.
Park the fertiliser spreader with an empty hopper on level, solid ground and
secure it to prevent it from moving.
Depressurise the hydraulic system before starting service or maintenance
work.
Disconnect the electrical system from the main power supply before starting
work on it.
Never clear blockages in the spreader hopper by hand or with the foot but al-
ways use a suitable tool. To prevent blockages always use the safety guard
when filling the hopper.
Before cleaning the fertiliser spreader with water, steam or other cleaning
agents cover all components that must be prevented from getting wet (e.g.
bearings, electrical connections).
Check the nuts and bolts regularly for tightness and tighten loose contacts.
