10.2 Cleaning the machine
n
Cleaning
Spreading material and dirt promote corrosion. Although the machine components are made from
corrosion-free
material, we recommend that you clean the machine immediately after each use to
maintain its value.
u
If available, fold up the protective grids in the hopper (depending on the machine).
u
Only clean oiled machines at washing points fitted with an oil separator
.
u
When cleaning with high-pressure, never aim the water jet directly at warning signs, electrical
equipment, hydraulic components, and sliding bearings.
u
Preferably clean the machine using a gentle water jet.
u
Especially clean the air ducts, injectors, and bends.
u
After cleaning, treat the dry machine, especially the stainless steel parts, with an
environmentally friendly anti-corrosion agent.
w
A suitable polishing kit can be ordered from authorized dealers for treating rust spots.
10.3 Wear parts and screw connections
10.3.1 Checking wear parts
n
Wear parts
Wear parts are: Hoses,
coulter tips, metering rollers, drive belts, hydraulic hoses, and all plastic
parts.
Plastic parts are subject to a certain aging process even under normal spreading conditions. Plastic
parts are, e.g., protective grid locks.
• Inspect wear parts on a regular basis.
u
Replace
these parts if they show signs of wear, deformation, holes, or aging. Otherwise, the
spreading pattern will not be correct.
w
The durability of wear parts depends, among other things, on the material being spread.
u
Have the condition of the machine and particularly the attached components, hydraulic system,
metering elements, bends, hoses, and baffles checked by your specialist dealer after each
season.
u
Replace worn parts in time to prevent consequences resulting from damage.
