
Only remove blockages in the spreader hopper with the machine at a stand-
still, and never use your hands or feet. Only use a suitable tool. To prevent
blockages, always use the safety guard when filling the hopper.

Before cleaning the spreader with water, steam or other cleaning agents, cov-
er all components that must not get wet (e.g. bearings, electrical connec-
tions).

Regularly check nuts and screws for tight fit and tighten them, if necessary.
3.8 Safety in traffic
When travelling on public roads and tracks, the tractor with the attached single-
disc spreader must comply with the traffic regulations of the country in which it is
operating. The owner and driver are responsible for compliance with these regu-
lations.
3.8.1 Checks before driving
The pre-operational check is an important component of traffic safety. Before
every trip, check compliance with the operating conditions, traffic safety, and the
regulations of the country of operation.

Make sure that the permitted total weight is not exceeded. Note the permitted
axle load, permitted braking load, and the permitted tyre load.

Check the tyre pressures and the function of the tractor brake system.

Is the single-disc spreader mounted correctly?

Could spreading material be lost while travelling?
-
Check the level of the spreading material in the hopper. The metering slid-
er must be closed.
- In addition, with single-acting hydraulic cylinders, shut the ball-cock to
prevent spreading material from flowing out of the hopper in the event of
leaks in the tractor's control valves.
- If necessary, switch off the electronic control unit.

Does the lighting and identification of the spreader comply with the national
regulations for use on public roads? Make sure that warning signs, reflectors,
and auxiliary lights are correctly placed.
