Activities before spreading

Spreader setting
Avoid contact with the fertiliser and other materials
You are likely to come in contact with the fertiliser or other materials
that you want to spread while filling, adjusting and testing the
spreader. Wear protective clothing and safety gloves, read the safety
instructions provided by the supplier and follow their directions.
Contact with the materials could lead to personal injury.
Be careful that nothing gets jammed
It is easy for parts to get jammed while adjusting the spreader.
Work carefully, while adjusting the spreader when there is an
abandoned tractor:
•
Switch tractor and control box off, remove the key from the ignition
and engage the parking brake of the tractor,
•
wait for all machine parts to come to a standstill before you start
with filling, adjusting or testing,
•
never go below an unsecured, elevated spreader,
•
in order to perform only the described action carefully.
Being jammed in could cause physical injury.
Protect the environment
Spreading a very high dose of materials outside the field edge,
especially on surface water, creates a heavy burden on the
environment. Protect the environment by applying correct volumes in
a correct working manner.
Work in a closed cabin
Fertiliser dust can blow indoors through open windows, doors or other
openings. Moreover, the sound level is higher in an open cabin. It is
therefore recommended to always work with a closed cabin with active
carbon filters in the air inlets. Fertiliser dust and a high sound level
may cause physical damage.
