9.2.2 Checking the bolted joints
Bolted joints have been tightened to the specified torque and locked at the facto-
ry. Vibrations and shocks, in particular during the initial operating hours, can loos-
en bolted joints.

With a new fertiliser spreader, check all bolted joints for tightness after ap-
prox. 30 operating hours.

Check all the bolted joints regularly for tightness, and definitely before the
start of the spreading season.
Some components, e.g. spreading vanes and service covers, are mounted with
self-locking nuts. When fitting these components,
always use new self-locking
nuts.
9.3 Cleaning
We recommend cleaning the spreader with a light jet of water immediately after
every use to maintain its value.
The following instructions must be observed for cleaning:

Only clean oiled machines at washing points fitted with an oil separator.

When cleaning with high-pressure water, never aim the jet directly at warning
signs, electrical equipment, hydraulic components, and sliding bearings.
After cleaning, we recommend treating the dry spreader especially the stain-
less steel parts , with an environmentally friendly corrosion protection agent.
