9.4 Wear parts and screw connections
9.4.1 Checking wear parts
Wear parts are the scraper at the AXENT outlet, the belt seal in the AXENT
container, the sealing profile at the maintenance flap and all plastic parts.

Check the wear parts.
Replace these parts if they show any signs of wear, deformation or holes.
The service life of the wear parts depends, among other things, on the spreading
material used.

All connection elements from the towed large area spreader to the tractor are
also subject to wear. This applies in particular to the coupling bracket of the
ball coupling or the towing eye of the pin coupling.

We recommend that you have the condition of the towed large area spreader
checked after each season by your specialist dealer, paying particular atten-
tion to its fastening components, hydraulic system and hoses.

Spare parts must at least comply with the technical requirements specified by
the manufacturer. This is ensured, for example, only by genuine spare parts.
9.4.2 Checking screw connections
The screw connections are tightened and secured with the necessary torque at
the factory. Vibrations, especially in the first hours of operation, can loosen screw
connections.

Check all screw connections of new machines for tight fitting after about
30 hours of operation.

Check all screw connections for tight fitting regularly, at least before the
beginning of the spreading season.
Some components are fitted with self-locking nuts. Always use new self-locking
nuts when fitting these components.
