Operation Fig. 21: Broom and shovel holder Fig. 22: Broom and shovel lock Operation Danger! Severe injury to the operator or third parties occurs. The load distribution on the trailer changes due to the attached spreader. Steering and braking capability, as well as tilt behavior are influenced. Initiate countermeasures - ensure sufficient front wheel ballast! Danger! Severe injury to the operator or third parties occurs.
Operation Fill the spreader no higher than the edge of the box spreader or the volume expansion add-on sections. Note! Do not exceed the maximum rated load. If the rated load is exceeded this will void the warranty. Different specific weights occur depending on the status of the spread material (wet or dry).
Operation Danger! Severe injury to the operator or third parties occurs. Never reach into the area of the agitator, spreader disc and vanes while they are rotating. Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key before reaching into the area of the vanes. Attention! Danger of crushing due to moving parts.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting If the spread pattern is not satisfactory, this may be due to the following reasons: • Inconsistent properties of the spread material: different density, grain form or moisture content • Clotting of the spread material • Spread material is blown away by strong wind •...
