9 Service and maintenance
9.1 Safety
Service and maintenance work involves additional hazards that do not occur dur-
ing normal operation of the machine.
Take particular care when carrying out maintenance and repair work. Work very
carefully and with awareness of danger.
Observe the following instructions in particular:

Welding and work on the electrical and hydraulic systems may only be carried
out by qualified technicians.

When working on the raised single-disc spreader, there is a risk of it tipping .
Always secure the spreader with suitable supports.

On automatically moved parts (adjusting lever, metering slider) there is a risk
of crushing and shearing. Make sure that there is no one in close proximity
to the moving parts during maintenance.

Spare parts must at least comply with the technical standards specified by the
manufacturer. This is assured with genuineRAUCH spare parts.

Before starting with any cleaning, maintenance, or repair work, and when
troubleshooting, switch off the tractor's engine and wait until all rotating parts
of the machine have come to a stop.

Repairs should only be carried out by trained and authorised experts.
9.2 Wear-prone parts and bolted joints
9.2.1 Checking wear-prone parts
Wearing parts are: Spreading vanes , agitator , hopper floor and thrust ring .

Check the wearing parts.
If these parts show visible signs of wear, deformation or holes, they must be re-
placed, otherwise the scatter pattern will not be correct.
The durability of wearing parts depends in part on the material being spread.
