  • Page 9: Basic Information

    1. Basic Information Introduction THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL IS PART OF THE BASIC ACCESSORIES OF THE MANURE SPREADER The machine can only be operated by persons, who have read this Instruction Manual, who are familiar with the design and functioning of the Manure Spreader, and with the operation of the tractor unit it works with.
  • Page 10: The Intended Use Of The Manure Spreader

    CAUTION! It is prohibited to enter public roads, if the Manure Spreader has no rating plate or it is illegible. CAUTION When purchasing, make sure that the factory number printed on the machine’s rating plate and the number provided in the Instruction Manual and Guarantee Card are the same - it is crucial for recognising the guarantee.
  • Page 11 DANGER! The Spreader must not be used contrary to its intended purpose, in particular to: • to transport people and animals, • when the permissible load capacity is exceeded, • to spread and transport toxic and flammable materials, • to distribute liquids, sand, or fibrous substances, •...

    Basic accessories The basic accessories of each Spreader include: • Instruction Manual; • Guarantee Card with warranty conditions; • A bracket for a slow vehicle marking plate; • 2-line pneumatic brakes with a braking-force regulator - Spreader N267/2; 1-line pneumatic brakes with a braking-force regulator - Spreaders N267 and N267/1; (hydraulic - optional);...
  • Page 13 DANGER! The improper use of fasteners can lead to an accident. DANGER CAUTION! Pay particular attention to the angle of inclination of the ramps on the low loader. It should not exceed 10°. Excessive inclination of the ramps can damage both the Spreader and the transport trailer. CAUTION The Spreader may be driven on public roads, as a machine attached to the lower hitch of a farm tractor.

  • Page 15: Withdrawal From Use

    Withdrawal from use If the machine is to be withdrawn from use, the User must comply with the national regulations regarding withdrawing from use and recycling of end-of-life machines, applicable in a given country. Before dismantling, remove all oil from the hydraulic system and gearboxes. Reduce air pressure in the braking system to the minimum.
  • Page 16: Safety Of Use

    6) All safety-related information must also be passed on to all other Users and operators of the Spreader. 7) Any structural or functional modifications to the Spreader release Metal-Fach Sp. z.o.o. from liability for damage to property or health impairment.
  • Page 17 8) Use only the recommended PTO shafts with the correct parameters to transmit power from the shaft. 9) Do not use of PTO shafts without guards for power transmission. 10) Before starting to drive make sure that the parking brake is released and that the braking-force regulator is in the correct position corresponding to the loading level (it applies to a pneumatic system with a manual braking-force regulator).
  • Page 18 27) If it is necessary to carry out the final stage of spreading on a slope, align the tractor and the Spreader in the direction of thedownslope. When spreading on slopes, make sure that the surface inclination does not exceed 10°. 28) Exercise care when opening the shields, so your fingers and hands are not crushed.
  • Page 19: Working With The Machine

    52) The maximum allowable pressure in the 2-line pneumatic system is 0.80MPa, and the minimum is 0.65MPa. 53) Prepare the Spreader for operation (connect its hydraulic hoses, pneumatic system, PTO shaft, etc.), when the tractor's engine is switched off and the ignition key removed. 54) The Manufacturer delivers the Spreader fully assembled.
  • Page 20: Working With The Pto Shaft

    • Use the hydraulic oil recommended by the Manufacturer. Never mix two different types of oil. • Regularly check the technical condition of the hydraulic connections and hoses. • When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor, make sure that the hydraulic systems of the tractor and the Spreader are not under pressure.

If too loose, the chains can damage the Spreader and pose a direct risk to bystanders or operators. CAUTION Maintaining the Hydraulic System The hydraulic system of the Spreader must be leak-proof.
  • Page 56: Gear Maintenance

    CAUTION! The hydraulic system is under high pressure during operations. Check the tightness of the hydraulic system and the technical condition of the conduits on a regular basis, and eliminate any leaks on an ongoing basis. Use the hydraulic oil recommended by the Manufacturer. CAUTION Never mix two different types of oil.
  • Page 57 Change oil at the operating temperature, immediately after work is completed, when the oil is still hot. Carry out the work by driving the Spreader on hardened, level ground. When changing oil, wear suitable protective clothing, tools, and tanks. Store waste oil in appropriately marked containers and dispose of it, in accordance with the applicable regulations.
  • Page 58: Lubrication

    Lubrication Proper lubrication is one of the most important factors which determine the efficient operation of each individual unit and the mechanisms of the Spreader. Complying with the lubrication recommendations of the Manufacturer will significantly reduce the possibility of damage or premature wear and tear of individual parts. See Figures 27-32 for lubricating points and Table 13 for a lubrication schedule.
