WARNING
Avoid contact with the fertilizer and other material
You will most likely get into contact with the fertilizer and other
material you may wish 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 making adjustments:
•
place the tractor and machine on a firm , flat surface,
•
switch off the PTO shaft,
•
switch off the electronic control system,
•
release the pressure from the hydraulic system,
•
place all controls in their neutral or park position,
•
switch off the tractor,
•
remove the key from the ignition,
•
engage the parking brake of the tractor,
•
wear protective clothing, such as safety gloves and shoes,
•
carefully follow the instructions given.
Friction with these materials could cause physical injury.
Protecting the environment
Spreading a too high dose of materials outside of the field edge,
especially on water surface, creates a heavy burden on the
environment. Protect the environment by applying a correct
application rate in a correct working manner.
Work with a closed cabin
Fertilizer 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. Fertilizer dust and
a high sound level can cause physical damage.
