1-Safety instructions
Before commissioning, study the instructions and follow the safety guidelines!
In this user guide we have marked with this symbol all hazards or
risks that operators are subject or exposed to.
Signs and security stickers attached to the spreader show you that it is
safe to use the machine: Respecting the instructions = safety
A. Normal use
The spreader is designed and manufactured for normal use as described in this
manual.
Four situations are thereby defined as: parking, loading, transporting and spreading
(Chapter 5).
All uses other than specified are considered non-compliant. However, a number of
predictable non-conform situations are discussed and specifically prohibited. The
manufacturer is not liable for resulting damages.
We must respect the rules of accident prevention and other legal safety
regulations, occupational medicine and the Highway Code.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from an unauthorised
modification of the machine.
B. General safety regulations and accident prevention.
a. Vehicle shutdown: Before
working on the machine, stop the
engine, release the hydraulic
pressure engage the brakes
(tractor and trailer) and remove the
ignition key.
b. Before starting the tractor
engine, ensure that the PTO is not
engaged, that all safety devices
are fitted and in good condition.
c. Never deregulate or
override safety devices. For
settings, care and maintenance,
follow the procedures described in
the manual (especially chapter 6/7)
d. It is strictly forbidden to go
under the vehicle when in
operation.
e. The use of the machine
remains the sole responsibility of
the driver. He must ensure the
absence of third parties in the
proximity during any manoeuvre.
f. Given the residual risk of
shock or damage to the spreading
device (AND its projection area)
and that it is technically impossible
to protect (at least in the work
phase), it is the responsibility of
the driver of the machine to ensure
the absence of a third party in this
area when the machine is in
motion.
g. The driver must be in
possession of all necessary means
to use the machine under optimum
conditions.
