3.7 Maintenance and service
Maintenance and service work involves additional hazards that do not occur dur-
ing operation of the machine.
 Any maintenance and service work is to be conducted with increased alert-
ness at all times. Work particularly thoroughly and cautiously.
3.7.1 Qualifications of maintenance staff

Welding work is to be performed by qualified technicians only.
3.7.2 Wear parts

The maintenance and service intervals described in the present operator's
manual are to be strictly adhered to at all times.
 Furthermore, the maintenance and service intervals of the supplier compo-
nents must also be complied with. See the supplier documentation for the rel-
evant intervals.
 We recommend having the condition of the machine checked after each sea-
son by your specialist dealer, paying particular attention to its fixing compo-
nents, safety-relevant plastic components, metering devices (such as
metering slide and agitator), spreading vanes and spreading disc.

Spare parts must at least comply with the technical standards specified by the
manufacturer. The technical standards can be guaranteed by using original
spare parts, for example.

Self-locking nuts are designed to be used only once. Always use new self-
locking nuts to fasten components (e. g. when replacing spreading vanes).
3.7.3 Maintenance and service work
 Always switch off the tractor motor before any cleaning, maintenance and
service work and when troubleshooting. Wait until all rotating parts of the ma-
chine have come to a standstill.
 Make sure that no unauthorised person can start the machine. Remove the
ignition key of the tractor.

Check that the tractor with the machine is correctly parked. Park the spreader
with an empty hopper on level, solid ground and secure it to against rolling
away.

Additionally, secure the lifted machine against falling (e. g. using an axle
stand) if you need to perform maintenance and service work or inspections
underneath the lifted machine.

Remove any clogging in the hopper only when the machine stands still and
never use your hand or foot to do it; always use suitable tools for this purpose.
 Before cleaning the machine using water, a steam jet or other cleaning
agents, cover all components that may not get into contact with cleaning liq-
uids (e. g. sliding bearings).
 Regularly check nuts and screws for tight seat. Retighten loose connections.
