3.5.5 Operation
 If the machine malfunctions, stop the machine immediately and secure it.
Have the fault repaired immediately by qualified technicians.
 Never climb onto the machine while the spreader unit is running.
 Only operate the machine with the protective grid in the hopper closed. Dur-
ing operation, the protective grid must neither be opened nor removed.
 Rotating machine components can cause serious injury. For this reason, en-
sure that you avoid any contact between body parts or clothes and rotating
components.
 Do not deposit any external parts (such as screws, nuts) in the spreader hopper.
 Ejected spreader material may cause serious injury (e.g. to the eyes). For this
reason, ensure that nobody is present in the spreading area of the machine.
 If the wind speed is too high, stop the spreading operation because the spec-
ified spreading range cannot be guaranteed under such conditions.
 Never climb onto the machine or the tractor when it is situated beneath high-
voltage electrical power lines.
3.6 Use of fertiliser
An inappropriate selection or usage of the fertiliser may lead to severe personal
injury or environmental damages.
 When selecting the fertiliser, inform yourself about its effects on persons, the
environment, and the machine.
 Please follow the instructions of the fertiliser manufacturer exactly.
3.7 Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Fluid escaping under high pressure can cause serious injuries and environmental
damage. The following instructions must be observed to prevent danger:
 Always operate the machine below the permissible maximum operating pres-
sure.
 Depressurise the hydraulic system before any maintenance work. Turn the
tractor motor off. Secure it against reactivation.
 When looking for leaks, wear protective glasses and protective gloves at
all times.
 In the case of injury in connection with hydraulic oil, consult a physician im-
mediately as severe infections may occur otherwise.
 When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor, ensure that the hydraulic
system is depressurised, both on the tractor and the machine side.
 Attach the hydraulic hoses of the tractor and the spreader hydraulic systems
only with the prescribed connections.
 Prevent any contamination of the hydraulic circuit. Always suspend the cou-
plings in the brackets provided. Use the dust caps. Clean the connections be-
fore joining them.
