provided. Clean the connections before coupling.
Check the hydraulic components and hydraulic lines regularly for mechanic
defects, such as cuts and worn positions, crushing, cracking, porous sections
etc.
Pipes and pipe couplings undergo a natural aging process even if they are
stored and used properly. This is the reason their shelf and service life is limited.
The service life of the hose line should not exceed 6 years, including a storage
period of a maximum of 2 years.
The date of manufacture of the hose line is stamped on the hose coupling in
month and year
Replace the hydraulic pipes if they are damaged or old.
Replacement hydraulic lines must meet the technical requirements of the
equipment manufacturer. Pay particular attention to the maximum pressure
specifications of the pipes to be replaced.

3.8 Service and maintenance
During service and maintenance tasks, you have to take additional dangers into
account which cannot occur during normal operation.
Carry out the service and maintenance tasks carefully and with full concen-
tration. Always work with full awareness of the risks involved.
3.8.1 Maintenance personnel qualification
Welding and work on the electrical and hydraulic systems must be carried out
by qualified technicians only.
3.8.2 Parts subject to wear and tear
Observe the maintenance and repair intervals specified in this operator's
manual exactly.
Also observe the maintenance and repair intervals for the supplied compo-
nents. See the supplier documentation for the relevant intervals
We recommend having your dealer check the condition of the AXIS H EMC
solid fertiliser broadcaster, particularly fastening components, safety-relevant
plastic components, hydraulic system, metering components and spreader
vanes, after every working season.
Safety
3
Replacement parts should meet the minimum technical standards specified
by the manufacturer. The technical standards can be guaranteed by using
genuine replacement parts, for example.
Self-locking nuts are designed to be used only once. Always use new self-
locking nuts to fasten components (e.g. when replacing spreading vanes).
3.8.3 Service and repair tasks
Turn the tractor motor off before starting any cleaning, maintenance, repair or
service tasks. Wait for all rotating parts to come to a stop.
Make sure that no unauthorised person can switch on the solid fertiliser
broadcaster. Take out the tractor ignition key.
Check that the tractor is correctly parked with the solid fertiliser broadcaster.
Park the fertiliser spreader with an empty hopper on level, solid ground and
secure it to prevent it from moving.
Depressurise the hydraulic system before starting service or maintenance
work.
Disconnect the electrical system from the main power supply before starting
work on it.
Never clear blockages in the spreader hopper by hand or with the foot but al-
ways use a suitable tool. To prevent blockages always use the safety guard
when filling the hopper.
Before cleaning the fertiliser spreader with water, steam or other cleaning
agents cover all components that must be prevented from getting wet (e.g.
bearings, electrical connections).
Check the nuts and bolts regularly for tightness and tighten loose contacts.

3.9 Traffic safety
When travelling on public roads and tracks, the tractor with the attached solid fertiliser broadcaster must comply with the traffic regulations of the country in which
it is operating. The owner and driver are responsible for compliance with these
regulations.
3.9.1 Checks before driving
A pre-operational check is an important contribution to traffic safety. Before every
trip check compliance with the operating conditions, traffic safety and the regulations of the country of operation.
Make sure that the approved total weight is not exceeded. Note the permissi-
ble axle load, the approved braking load and the permissible tyre load capacity. See also "
Is the solid fertiliser broadcaster mounted correctly?
Could spreading material be lost while travelling?
- Check the fill level of the fertiliser in the hopper.
Axle load calculation" on page 29.
- The metering slides must be closed.
- The locks must also be closed on single-action hydraulic cylinders.
- Turn off electronic controls.
Check the tyre pressure and the function of the tractor brake system.
Do the lights and identification on the solid fertiliser broadcaster comply with
the national regulations for operation on public roads? Make sure to make the
fittings according to the regulations .
12
3.9.2 Road travel with the solid fertiliser broadcaster
The road handling and the tilting, steering and braking performance of the tractor
are all altered by the attached solid fertiliser broadcaster. For example, the high
permissible load capacity will reduce the weight on the front axle of the tractor and
may affect the steering.
Adjust your driving behaviour according to the load on the vehicle.
Always make sure you have unencumbered sight. If this is not possible (e.g.
while reversing), another person is required to direct the driver.
Do not exceed the legal speed limit.
Avoid sudden turns when driving uphill or downhill or across a slope. Due to
the change in the centre of gravity there is a risk of tipping over. Travel over
uneven, soft ground (e.g. entering a field, over road edges) with great care.
Set the lower link on the three-point linkage so it is rigid to prevent the ma-
chine from rocking.
Passengers are prohibited on the solid fertiliser broadcaster during transport
and operation.
