When the symbol "Attention" appears in the manual it means that the sa-
fety of the operator, assistant, bystander, or the normal operation of the 
machine, could be in danger. It is essential that all safety instructions are 
observed. It is vitally important to make sure that all users have the op-
portunity to read and thoroughly understand these instructions.

 

 
 

Correct use 

The AXERA  M fertilizer spreader is designed to spread dry, prilled and granular fer-
tilizer as well as seeds. Any other use is inappropriate and any defects arising there-
from will invalidate the manufacturer's warranty; any risk associated therewith is 
borne entirely by the user. Correct use also entails the full compliance with all oper-
ating, maintenance and repair instructions issued by the manufacturer. 
The spreader should only be used, maintained and repaired by persons who are fa-
miliar with the machine and who have received instructions with regard to potential 
dangers. 
All current appropriate accident prevention requirements and all other general recog-
nised safety, technological work-related and road traffic legislation must be ob-
served. 
Any warranty claims against the manufacturer for damage resulting from unauthor-
ized alterations to the machine will be ruled invalid 
 
 

Driving on public roads 

When driving on public roads and paths, ensure that the tractor/spreader combination 
complies with all relevant road traffic regulations. (Overall permissible weight, over-
all permissible axle weight, lighting warning signs, guarding, etc.) 
 

 

 
Attention: Pay attention to correct front axle weight!
