3.6 Using fertiliser and lime
Inappropriate selection or usage of the fertiliser and lime can cause severe
personal injury or environmental damage.

When selecting the fertiliser, inform yourself about its effects on peoples,
the environment, and the machine.

Follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the fertiliser or lime.
3.7 Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Fluid escaping under high pressure can cause serious injuries and environmental
damage. The following instructions must be observed to prevent danger:

Always operate the machine below the permissible maximum operating
pressure.

Depressurise the hydraulic system before any maintenance work . Turn the
tractor motor off. Secure it against reactivation.

When looking for leaks, wear protective glasses and protective gloves at
all times .

In the case of injury in connection with hydraulic oil, consult a physician
immediately as severe infections may occur otherwise.

When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor, ensure that the hydraulic
system is
depressurised, both on the tractor and the machine side.

Attach the hydraulic hoses of the tractor and the spreader hydraulic systems
only with the prescribed connections.

Prevent any contamination of the hydraulic circuit. Always suspend the
couplings in the brackets provided. Use the dust caps. Clean the connections
before joining them.

Regularly check the hydraulic components and hydraulic hose lines for
mechanical defects, e.g. cuts and abrasions, contusions, bends, tears,
porosity etc.

Even when stored correctly and used within approved load limits, hoses and
hose couplings are subject to a natural ageing process. This limits their
storage and service life.
The service life of the hose lines may not exceed 6 years, including a possible
storage time of maximally 2 years.
The date of manufacture of the hoses is indicated on the hose coupling in month
and year

Replace hydraulic hoses if damaged or aged.

Replacement of hydraulic hoses must meet the technical requirements of the
equipment manufacturer. In particular, note the different maximum pressure
ratings of replacement hoses.
