9.4 Cleaning
We recommend cleaning the solid fertiliser broadcaster immediately with a soft
water spray after each deployment.
To facilitate cleaning, the protective grids in the hopper can be folded up (see
chapter
9.3: Opening the protective grid in the hopper, page 185 ).
The following instructions must be observed for cleaning:

Clean the outlets and the area of the slide guides from below only.

Clean oiled machines only at washing points with an oil separator.

When cleaning with high pressure never direct the water jet directly at warn-
ing signs, electrical equipment, hydraulic components and sliding bearings.
After cleaning, we recommend treating the dry solid fertiliser broadcaster es-
pecially the coated spreading vanes and stainless steel parts , with an envi-
ronmentally compatible anti corrosion agent.
A suitable polishing kit can be ordered from authorised dealers for use in treating
rust spots.
