You will most likely get into contact with the fertilizer and other
material you may wish to spread while filling, adjusting and testing
the spreader. Wear protective clothing and safety gloves, read the
safety instructions provided by the supplier and follow their
directions. Contact with these materials could lead to personal
injury.

spreader.
Work safely while checking and adjusting:
•
place the tractor and machine on a firm, flat surface,
•
switch off the PTO shaft,

switch off the electronic control system,
•
release the pressure from the hydraulic system,
•
place all controls in their neutral or park position,
•
switch off the tractor,
•
remove the key from the ignition,
•
engage the parking brake of the tractor,
•
wait for all machine parts to come to a standstill before you
start with the adjustments,
•
wear protective clothing, such as safety gloves and shoes,
