3.8.1
Qualifications of maintenance personnel
•
Welding and work on the electrical and hydraulic systems is to be carried out by qualified
technicians only.
3.8.2
Wear parts
•
The maintenance and service intervals described in the present operator’s manual are to be
strictly adhered to at all times.
•
Also observe the maintenance and service intervals for the supplied components. See the
supplier documentation for the relevant intervals.
•
We recommend having your dealer check the condition of the machine, particularly fastening
components, safety-relevant plastic components, the hydraulic system, metering components and
spreading vanes, after every working season.
•
Spare parts must at least comply with the technical standards specified by the manufacturer.
Compliance with technical requirements is ensured using original spare parts.
•
Self-locking nuts are designed to be used only once. Always use new self-locking nuts to fasten
components (e.g., when replacing spreading vanes).
3.8.3
Maintenance and service tasks
•
Always switch off the tractor engine
before any cleaning, maintenance, service, and
troubleshooting.
Wait until all rotating parts of the machine have come to a standstill.
•
Make sure that
no
unauthorized person can start the machine. Remove the ignition key of the
tractor.
•
Disconnect the power supply between the tractor and the machine before performing any
maintenance and service tasks or before working on the electrical system.
•
Check that the tractor with the machine is correctly parked. Park the spreader with an empty
hopper on level, solid ground and secure it to prevent it from moving.
•
Secure the lifted machine additionally against falling (e.g., by means of a safety stand) when
carrying out maintenance and repair work or inspections under the lifted machine.
•
Release the pressure from the hydraulic system before any maintenance and repair work.
•
Only open the protective grid in the hopper if the machine has been decommissioned.
•
If work is to be carried out while the PTO shaft is rotating, make sure that nobody is near the PTO
or the universal drive shaft.
•
Never clear blockages in the spreader hopper by hand or with the foot: always use a suitable tool.
•
Before cleaning the machine with water, steam jet, or other cleaning agents, cover all components
that must not get wet (e.g., bearings, electrical connections).
•
Regularly check nuts and screws for tightness. Retighten loose connections.
