Advice
Clean the hopper, rotary feeder shafts, agitator and blower in dry condition!
Never clean the spreader with a high-pressure cleaner or highly acidic cleaning agents. Do not use
any greases or oils. Note the instructions from the manufacturers
Cleaning the hopper
Clean the hopper and spreader at the end of the season. The hopper can be nearly
completely emptied by means of the residual discharge, see 7.5.5.10 "Residual
discharge". If there are larger quantities of spreading material or mal- functions in
operation, the hopper can also be emptied via a hatch, see Emptying the hopper through
the residual discharge hatch.
All residues that build up during cleaning of the spreader must be collected and disposed
of ac- cording to the regulations valid in the particular country.
