WARNING
Danger of accident due to improperly executed work
Improperly executed work on the chassis and brake system will
impair the operational safety of the large area spreader and can
cause serious accidents involving personal injury and material
damage.
 Have setting and repair work on the brake system carried
out
only by specialist workshops or recognized brake
service providers.
NOTICE
Since your large area spreader is a transport trailer with spreading unit, there
is duty to subject it to a cyclic main technical inspection at a safety-related
monitoring service provider.
You are responsible yourself for the perfect condition of your system.
Perfect functioning of the brake system is of great significance to the safety of
your large area spreader.
Have the brake system checked
regularly by a specialist workshop at least
once a year.
