If you cannot lower the power lift far enough to release the catch
hooks, we advise you to place the spreader on a firm, stable ramp, for
example a pawl.

For the VS600 model, it is easy to disconnect and put away the empty
spreader with a set of parking wheels.
Drive the tractor about 3/4 foot forward (maximum distance
depends on the range of the coupling shaft; the halves must
always overlap each other).
Switch the tractor off, remove the key from the ignition and engage
the parking brake of the tractor.
Disconnect the electric plugs and hang them in the container.
Disconnect the hydraulic hoses.
Place the protective caps on the hydraulic hose connections.
Hang the hydraulic hoses in the hose coupling support.
Disconnect the coupling shaft and hook it up.
Preparation for winter
storage
At the end of the season the machine must be prepared for winter
storage.
If the machine is being put away for a short or longer period of time it
is recommended that you lubricate and clean it first. If it is lubricated
first you will prevent dirt, fertiliser and water from entering the
bearings.
The advantages of this method of working are:
•
additional checks on the machine right after work,
•
Ensuring the longevity of the machine,
•
less delays due to problems while working with the machine.

When using a high-pressure cleaner, do not aim it at the seals. That
way you will prevent dirt and moisture from entering.
Clean the machine.
Let the machine dry.
Paint any damaged paintwork.
Lubricate and oil all points once again to ensure conservation.
See paragraph »Maintenance intervals« on page 126.
Coat blank parts such as piston rods of hydraulic cylinders with
preserving grease.
T

Only use grease that would not harden or dry. That will prevent
damage to cylinder oil seals.
Store the ED II control box in a place where it cannot be damaged
and is not exposed to temperatures below -20
