NOTE
Before storing the spreader, we recommend some precautions to preserve its properly
functioning and to let it ready for the next job.
• Remove all the residues that remain in the equipment after its use, mainly when
spreading fertilizer.
• Wash the whole equipment to remove the dirty grease, the earth that accumulates
in the wheelset and the grass seeds that may get stuck in the corners.
• Repair the missing painting if required.
• Remove the chains and keep them in oil bath. The belt transmission should be
removed and stored to avoid dryness.
• Lubricate all the grease fittings until the fresh grease can be seen.
• Spray the equipment with penetrating or anti-corrosive oil.
• Replace the missing or damaged safety stickers. Marchesan provides these stickers,
upon request and indication of the respective serial number. The operator must know
the need to keep these stickers in place and in good conditions. Also, the operator
must be aware that an accident can occur if the instructions are not followed.
• After all repairs and maintenance procedures, keep the equipment in a sheltered
and dry place, protected from direct sunlight and rain, properly supported on the
ground or easels.
