Rauch MDS 8.2 - Checking the Screw Connections; Checking the Screw Connections of the Weigh Cells

Wear parts are: Spreading vanes, agitator head, outlet, 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, connecting rod.
• Inspect wear parts on a regular basis.
Replace these parts if they show signs of wear, deformation, holes, or aging. Otherwise, the spreading
pattern will not be correct.
The durability of wear parts depends, among other things, on the material being spread.

Check all screw connections for tightness.
Some components are mounted with self-locking nuts.
u
When mounting these components, always use new self-locking nuts.
Observe the tightening torques of the standard screw connections.
