3.5.5 Operation

If the machine malfunctions, stop the machine immediately and secure it.
Have the fault repaired immediately by qualified technicians.

Never climb onto the machine while the spreader unit is running.

Only operate the machine with the protective grid in the hopper closed. Dur-
ing operation, the protective grid
must neither be opened nor removed .

Rotating machine components may cause serious injury. For this reason, en-
sure that you avoid any contact between body parts or clothes and rotating
components.

Do not deposit any external parts (such as bolts, nuts) in the spreader hopper.

Powered spreading material may cause serious injury (e. g. to eyes). For this
reason, ensure that nobody is present in the overload range of the machine.

If the wind speed is too high, stop the spreading operation because the spec-
ified spreading range cannot be guaranteed under such conditions.

Never climb onto the machine or the tractor when it is situated beneath high-
voltage electrical power lines.
3.5.6 Wheels and brakes
Due to the high overall weight and the terrain to be driven on, the chassis of the
towed machine is subject to high stress. In order to ensure the operational safety,
the following points have to be ensured in particular:

Only use wheels and tyres which meet the technical requirements stipulated
by the manufacturer.

The wheels may not have any lateral run-out or inadmissible offset.

Check the inflation pressure and the functionality of the brake before every
drive.

Have the brake pads changed in time. Only use brake pads which meet the
technical requirements stipulated by the manufacturer.

Always cover the wheel bearings with dust caps. This helps to avoid contam-
ination.

Please also respect the admissible maximum load of the wheels (refer to en-
try in the type report)
3.6 Use of fertiliser
An inappropriate selection or usage of the fertiliser may lead to severe personal
injury or environmental damages.

When selecting the fertiliser, inform yourself about its effects on persons, the
environment, and the machine.

Please follow the instructions of the fertiliser manufacturer exactly.
