Danger!
Severe injury to the operator or third parties occurs.
Never reach into the area of the agitator, spreader disc and vanes while they
are rotating. Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key before
reaching into the area of the vanes.
Attention!
Danger of crushing due to moving parts.
Never reach into the crushing hazard zone if parts are moving or can move.
Attention!
Increased risk of accident due to rotating PTO shaft.
Do not enter the work area of the PTO shaft until it has stopped rotating.
Do not wear baggy or loose clothing that could get caught in the PTO shaft.
Proceed as follows to carry out a spread test:
1. Close the gate valve for regulation of the spread quantity
2. Fill the container with the spread material
3. Set the stop for limiting the spread quantity
4. Fasten a plastic sheet or a suitable tarpaulin under the spreader so that the spreader
roll can rotate and the discharged spread material is collected
5. Set the tractor and the PTO shaft to 540 rpm
6. Open the gate valve for regulation of the spread quantity to the stop
7. Carry out a spread test for exactly 60 seconds
8. Shut off the tractor and remove the key from the ignition
9. Collect and weigh the discharged spread material
10. If the discharged quantity (S) does not match the calculated quantity, select a
different gate valve opening and repeat the spread test.

Lighting
To operate the lighting system the 7-pin plug-in connector of the spreader must be
connected to the trailer socket on the tractor. Before each use, inspect the lighting system
to ensure that it is functioning properly.
5.8
Covering the spread container
The cover of the spreader protects the spread material from moisture.
The covering and fasteners are designed for vehicle speeds of no more than 30 km/h. If
the spreader is operated or transported on vehicles that exceed this speed the container
cover must be separately secured or taken off.
