2. Operational safety

2.1 Basic safety rules

• Before operation of the spreader the user should read carefully the manual and the PTO

shaft manual and observe all recommendations given in these manuals during operation.

• Prior to each use of the spreader check the machine, if it is properly prepared for

operation, especially with regard to safety.

• If information contained within the manual will be not comprehensible for the user please

do not hesitate to contact your dealer, who also provides repair & service or directly the

manufacturer.

• Climbing on the spreader is allowed only if the spreader is completely stopped, tractor’s

engine off and disconnected PTO shaft.

• Careless and improper operation & maintenance of the spreader as well as lack of

observation of recommendations given in present manual may endanger human health

and life.

• The spreader can be operated only when all guards and other protective elements are

efficient and on their places.

• There is the risk of residual danger, thus application of safe operation rules should be the

basic principle of spreader’s use.

• Persons unauthorised for driving agricultural tractors including children and drunken

persons have no right to use the spreader.

• It is prohibited to use the spreader contrary to its purposes. User, who utilise the

spreader in other than prescribed manner, takes responsibility for all consequences

resulting from spreader’s use.

• Any unauthorised modification absolves the PRONAR Narew from responsibility for

resulting damage or health detriment.

• Prior to each spreader’s use check its technical condition, especially coupling system,

drive system, brakes and signalling lights.

8

• It is absolutely prohibited to enter under the spreader and to climb on the load

crate when the PTO shaft is on.

• Admissible load must not be exceeded.

• Transportation of persons and animals is prohibited.

• If any operation failure or damage occurs, stop operation of the spreader and repair the

damage.

• It is prohibited to perform any maintenance or repair when the chain conveyor or

comminuting adapter are on. Prior to maintenance/repair stop the engine, remove

the ignition key and disconnect the PTO shaft.

• During spraeder’s operation use protection gloves and proper tools.

• All maintenance & repair works should be performed with observation of safety regu-

lations. In the case of wound wash and disinfect wounded place immediately. In the case

of serious injuries consult a physician.

• The spreader is marked with information / warning stickers as described in the table 1

below. The user should take care of legibility and cleanliness of inscriptions & warnings

for all time of spreader’s operation. In the case of damage or destruction replace missing

stickers with new ones – available at your dealer or manufacturer.

• Due to the fact that the spread material may contain stones, pieces of wood etc. it is

prohibited to stay within the dangerous zone where the material is spread.

• Match the speed to environment conditions. Avoid driving on rough ground and sharp

turns, if possible.

• Do not exceed the admissible speed..

2.2 Coupling and uncoupling to the tractor

• Take special care while coupling spreader with tractor.

• For coupling with tractor use only hooks for single-axle spreaders (lower towing hook).

Check safety device.

• In the course of coupling no one is allowed to stand between the spreader and the

tractor.

• Disconnected spreader should be braked with the parking brake. If the spreader stands

on a slope or an elevation it should be protected additionally with wedges (supplied

together with the spreader) placed under wheels.

2.3 Operation with the PTO shaft

• The manure spreader can be coupled with the tractor only with help of properly matched

PTO shaft. Use only PTO shafts recommended by the manufacturer.

• Observe recommendations of the PTO shaft manual.

• Prior each start-up of the spreader make sure that all guards are efficient and at their

places. Damaged or incomplete guards should be replaced with new ones (original).

• After installation of the PTO shaft make sure that it is properly and safely connected to

the tractor and to the spreader.

• It is prohibited to wear loose clothes, loose belts or anything, what may get caught

by rotating shaft. Contact with rotating PTO shaft may cause serious injuries.

• Prior to disconnection of the PTO shaft stop the engine and remove the ignition key.

9

• While operating in poor visibility conditions illuminate the PTO shaft and its surroundings

with tractor’s working lights.

• During transport the PTO shaft should be positioned horizontally to avoid damage of

guards and other protective elements.

• Telescope tubes should overlap during operation by 1/3 of their length.

• During operation of the PTO shaft and the spreader do not use other PTO shaft rotation

speed than 1000 rpm. It is prohibited to overload the shaft and the spreader and to

uncouple the clutch rapidly.

• The chain protecting the shaft guards against rotation should be fastened on a fixed

structure element of the spreader.

• It is prohibited to use protective chains for suspending of the shaft during stops or

transportation works.

• It is prohibited to pass under / above the shaft and to stand onto it during operation as

well as during stop.

• The PTO shaft housing is marked with a sign showing, which end should be connected

to the tractor.

2.4 Pneumatic & hydraulic systems

• The hydraulic system is under high pressure during operation

• While connecting hydraulic conduits to a tractor make sure that hydraulic systems of the

tractor and the spreader are pressure-free,

• Check regularly all connections and hydraulic & pneumatic conduits.

• In case of any failure of the hydraulic/pneumatic system stop operation and remove the

failure.

2.5 Tyres

• During works connected to spreader’s tyres make sure to protect the spreader against

accidental movement with edges supplied together with the spreader.

• All repairs of tyres should be performed by trained and authorised personnel. Works

should be performed with proper tools.

• After each installation of a wheel tighten nuts after first 50 km and then check their

tightening each 100 km.

• Check the tyre pressure regularly.

2.6 Maintenance

• All maintenance, preservation and cleaning works should be performed only when the

tractor’s engine is off and the ignition key removed from the ignition switch.

• During maintenance works with guards in upper position secure the guards with suitable

supports.

• Check all screwed connections.

10

• During maintenance works use protection gloves and proper tools.

• Prior to welding or electric works disconnect the spreader from power supply.

• Check condition of all protective elements and their fastening.

• During the guarantee period all repairs may be performed only by authorised

Manufacturer’s service stations.

or paints recommended by the Manufacturer. Inobservance of this requirements may

cause danger to health or life of operators or third persons as well as damage of the

machine.

2.7 Principles of use on public roads

• While driving public roads observe traffic regulations.

• Spreader’s overload may cause its damage and endanger traffic safety.

• Do not exceed the maximum speed. Adjust the speed to traffic conditions.

• It is prohibited to leave unsecured spreader. Always activate the parking brake.

• While driving public roads the spreader should be equipped with certified or approved

warning reflecting triangle.
