Rauch AERO GT 60.1 - Qualifications of Maintenance Personnel; Wear Parts; Maintenance and Service Tasks

For this reason, take particular care when carrying out maintenance and service work. Work
particularly thoroughly and cautiously
.
3.8.1 Qualifications of maintenance personnel
• Only specialist workshops or approved brake repair service providers may perform adjustment or
repair work on the brake system.
• Only qualified personnel may perform repair work on wheels and tires. They must use appropriate
mounting tools for this.
• 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 that you have the condition of the machine and particularly of attached
components, safety-relevant plastic components, the hydraulic system, and metering elements
checked by your specialist dealer after each season.
• Have the brake pads replaced in time. Only use the brake pads dedicated for the axles.
• 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.
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 is correctly parked with the towed machine. Park the spreader with an
empty hopper and the boom folded in on level, solid ground and secure it to prevent it from
moving.
• Release the pressure from the hydraulic system before any maintenance and repair work.
• If work is to be carried out while the universal drive shaft is rotating, make sure that nobody is
near the universal drive shaft.
• Never clear blockages in the spreader hopper by hand or with the foot: always use a suitable tool.
• Only open the protective grid in the hopper if the machine has been decommissioned.
• 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.
• After driving the first 5 km, check the tightening torque of each individual wheel nut. See 10.12.4
