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

It is our recommendation that you should get the solid fertiliser broadcaster,
particularly fastening parts, safety relevant plastic components, hydraulic
system, measuring parts and casting blades inspected after every season by
a certified specialist.

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 with the solid fertiliser broadcaster is correctly parked.
Park the fertiliser broadcaster 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.

If you have to work on the rotating tractive unit, please make sure nobody is
in the vicinity of the PTO unit or the drive shaft.
