1 What you should know 1.1 Foreword Congratulations on purchasing the POLARO E, a high-quality and ® innovative product. Thank you for placing your trust in us. Thanks to its advanced design, meticulous material selection, state- of-the art manufacturing techniques and the precision work of our employees, this equipment meets all efficiency, quality, reliability and value requirements.
1 What you should know Warnings Warnings in these operating instructions are identified as follows: Danger! Warning against immediate danger. Non-observance of appropriate measures may result in death or severe personal injury or serious damage to property. Warning! Warning of possible danger. Death, severe personal injury or serious damage to property are possible. Caution! Warning of possible dangerous situations.
1 What you should know 1.4 Intended use The POLARO E is a spreader for spreading winter salt, grit, sand and ® granulated fertilisers. 1.5 Reasonably predictable misuse Only use on approved carrier vehicles with suitable on-board electrical systems and sufficient structural integrity. Only use for approved media. The equipment must not be used for spreading crop protection products.
• Spreading tables and additional information about the spreading material used can be requested from the spreading material manufacturer in question. • LEHNER Agrar GmbH cannot accept any liability for the storage and application of the spreading material.
2 Mounting and starting 2.1 Installing the frame Warning! Risk of injury due to high component weight The spreader is significantly heavier when the hopper is full. Attention must therefore be paid to the proper mounting of the spreader on the carrier vehicle, and to the carrying capacity of the vehicle tailgate or other panels. If necessary, fit with assistance.
2 Mounting and starting 2.2 Mounting the hopper and deflector plate Warning! Risk of injury and damage to the spreader As an alternative for slow-flowing salt, a refined salt agitator is available as an accessory. This agitator is not suitable for grit or sand. 1. Mount the hopper. 2. C heck whether the hopper fits well in the hopper platform at the bottom. 3. U sing screws, attach the included deflector plate to the spreader (arrow).
2 Mounting and starting 2.3 Electrical connection Caution! Risk of functional failures Faulty or incorrectly dimensioned plugs and cables can lead to malfunctions. Only use original plugs and cables, or ones approved by the manufacturer. Caution! Danger of short circuit Ensure that the cable is not routed over any sharp edges.
2 Mounting and starting 3. Plug the spreader cable into the 16-pin socket of the control panel. To ensure an optimum electrical power supply, use the supplied battery cable. Caution! Danger of short circuit Observe the installation instructions of the adapter manufacturer.
