DANGER

Danger from running engine

Working on the solid fertiliser broadcaster with the engine running
can lead to serious injuries caused by mechanical components or
escaping fertiliser.
Wait until all rotating parts have come to a complete stop before
making any adjustments.



Turn off tractor. Remove the ignition key.



Direct all persons out of the danger zone.
