PTO shaft rotates after disengaging
After switching off the PTO shaft, the machine will continue running
because of inertia. Keep a safe distance from the machine until the
moving parts have come to a complete stop. Approaching the
machine when it is running may cause serious or lethal injuries.
Maintenance
Always adhere to the prescribed maintenance intervals
Take the intervals as prescribed in this manual for inspection and
maintenance of the machine. The manufacturer has no kind of liability
or guarantee (they become null and void) if the prescribed intervals
are not adhered to.
Performed by an authorised person
Always have an authorised expert perform maintenance and repairs
as prescribed in

section »Authorisation« on page 11.
Maintenance performed in an inexpert manner could lead to unsafe
work situations or damage the machine or crops.
Never use the tractor in a closed area
The tractor must never be used in a closed area. Exhaust fumes may
accumulate without being noticed. Exhaust fumes may cause serious
or lethal injuries.
Protect the machine
Fertiliser and other salts have a great influence on the rate of
corrosion. Empty the hopper at the end of activities. Protect the
machine by always cleaning it after using such material and patching
breaks in the paint. Corrosion affects the strength of the construction
and the operation of the machine, which could lead to a significantly
shortened lifespan.
Only use original parts when replacing
Using other non-genuine parts could lead to problems and unsafe
situations when using the machine.
You can use the supplied parts manual (either as a printout or as a
PDF in the included memory card) to locate the correct part number.
Never work on the machine while it is running
Never work on a running machine. A running machine has several
moving parts which cannot be seen. These can cause serious injuries.
