10.2 Spreading operation
• The spreading vanes and swivel blades are made of especially
hard-wearing stainless steel. Howev
er, the spreading vanes and
swivel blades are wearing parts.
•
The type of fertiliser, times of use and spread rates influence the
service life of spreading vanes and swivel blades.
• The technical condition of the spreading vanes and swivel
blades is essential for uniform lateral distribution of the fertiliser
on the field (i.e. forming strips).
WARNING
Danger of ejection of parts of the spreading vanes / swivel
blades, caused by worn spreading vanes / swivel blades!
Every day, at the start and end of
spreading work, check all spreading
vanes and swivel blades for visible damage/defects. Refer to the
criteria for the replacement of wearing parts in the chapter "Replacing
spreading vanes and swivel blades", page 115.
WARNING
Danger from materials or foreign objects that are thrown from or
ejected by the machine at high speeds.
• Make sure that uninvolved persons are kept well clear of the
danger area of the machine in the following situations:
ο Before you switch on the power for the spreading discs.
ο Before you open the sliders.
ο While the tractor engine is running.
• When spreading fertiliser at field edges in residential areas /
along roads, take care not to endanger persons or damage ob-
jects. Maintain a sufficient safety distance and use the appropri-
ate devices for boundary spreading and/or reduce the drive
speed of the spreading discs.
WARNING
Risk of contusions, cutting, catching, drawing in and knocks
through insufficient stability
and tipping of the tractor and/or the
connected machine.
Drive in such a way that you always have full control over the tractor
with the attached machine.
In so doing, take your personal abilities into account, as well as the
road, traffic, visibility and weather conditions, the driving characteris-
tics of the driver and the connected machine.
