8.5.1 Safety
General instructions before setting the mounting height

We recommend that you choose the highest coupling point on the tractor to
connect the upper steering arm to, particularly for high lifting heights.

The lower coupling points on the solid fertiliser broadcaster which are meant
for the lower steering arms of the tractor, should be used
only in exceptional
circumstances during late fertilisation.

DANGER
Danger of being crushed under falling spreader
If the two halves of the upper steering arm are brought totally apart
from each other by mistake, it can happen that the steering arm
cannot compensate for the weight of the full load of fertiliser,
resulting in the solid fertiliser broadcaster abruptly falling over or
falling down backwards.
Persons can be seriously hurt and the machine damaged.
 If you want to extend the upper steering arm, please always
take the maximum allowed extension length given by the
tractor or steering arm manufacturer into account.
 Clear the area of any persons who might be present in the
danger zone of the solid fertiliser broadcaster.

WARNING
Risk of injury from rotating machine components
Contact with the spreading equipment (spreading discs, spreading
vanes) may injure, crush or cut off body parts. Body parts or
objects may be caught and pulled in.
 Never exceed the maximum approved hopper heights at
the front (V) and rear (H).
NOTICE
For normal as well as late fertilisation, always use the upper couplings of the
solid fertiliser broadcaster.
