3.8.3 Maintenance and service work

Always switch off the tractor engine before all cleaning, maintenance and
service work and when troubleshooting. Wait until all rotating parts of the
machine have come to a standstill.

Make sure that no unauthorised person can start the machine. Remove the
ignition key of the tractor.

Before any maintenance and service work, separate the power supply be-
tween the tractor and the machine.

Disconnect the power supply before working on the electrical system.

Check that the tractor with the machine is correctly parked. Park the spreader
with an empty hopper on level, solid ground and secure it against rolling away.

Before carrying out any maintenance and service work, depressurise the hy-
draulic system.

Never remove any clogging in the spreader hopper with your hand or foot, but
use suitable tools for this purpose. In order to avoid clogging, only fill the hop-
per when the protective grid is mounted.

Before cleaning the machine with water, steam or other cleaning agents, cover
all components that must not get wet (e.g. bearings, electrical connections).

Regularly check nuts and bolts for their tight seat. Retighten loose connections.

After having driven the first 5km, check the tightening torque of each wheel
nut.


Regularly check nuts and screws for their tight fit and retighten loose connec-
tions.
