INFORMATION!

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE RULES AND GUIDELINES INCLUDED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS

MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SEVERE BODY INJURY!

1. INTRODUCTION

The user of this product should read and understand these Operating Instructions in full, as well as follow all

the guidelines contained herein to ensure safe operation of this machine. The Instructions include the description

of the design and operating principle, technical characteristics and rules of intended use and servicing of the

machine. Exercise extreme caution when in doubt about any procedure or operation. Should you have any

questions, consult the authorised seller or the manufacturer.

Hazard warning sign

This sign denotes important information on the operating safety, which must be read in full and relayed to all

the service personnel if necessary. The information included in the Instructions contain the basic guidelines for

proper operation and servicing, as well as about the operating safety and health regulations.

Pursuant to the Resolution of the Ministry of Infrastructure of 31 December 2002 on technical requirements

for vehicles and the scope of their necessary equipment, we hereby notify that farming tractors and slow-moving

vehicles, as well as trailer units designed for coupling with these vehicles must feature an identication emblem.

The emblems are not required for a vehicle included in a string of vehicles which is not the last vehicle in the

string. We follow this requirement by equipping our vehicles with special mounting frames which are located

on the spreader adapter guard. Always mount the identication emblem for travelling on public roads. Place the

emblem in the tractor cab when the spreader is on duty.

The N280 spreader conforms to the trafc code regulations regarding the trafc of machines with the

maximum speed of 30 km/h on public roads. The machine also conforms to the safety requirements of the valid

regulations for the agricultural machines of this type.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always turn off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key and engage the parking brake

before leaving the driver's seat.

Should any failure occur, always turn off the tractor engine.

Do not turn on the conveyor when the adapter is off. Prior to starting your work, rst lift the

body gate, engage the adapter, run it at the full PTO speed and then turn on the oor conveyor

drive.

Before attempting to work on any systems of the spreader connected to the tractor with the

drive-shaft, turn off the tractor engine and remove the ignition key. Decouple the drive-shaft

before servicing (maintenance, repairs) the machine. Engage the spreader parking brake and

chock the wheels.

Do not remain in the load body when the drive is on. Do not enter the spread zone when the

spreader is working. Ensure that no persons are in the spread zone.

Do not exceed the permissible payload and driving speed, otherwise the machine may be

damaged and the trafc safety may be compromised. Adapt the driving speed to the conditions

when working or travelling on a rough terrain. Follow the trafc code regulations when

travelling on public roads.

Do not use the oor conveyor to unload such materials as coal, wood, stone or construction

materials.

Do not use the machine on a terrain with an inclination exceeding 8.5o.

Note that during the unloading the machine will change its impact on the tractor and its

manoeuvring conditions.

Operation of the spreader without the system guards, riding on the spreader and its tow bar or

driving without the connected braking system is strictly forbidden. The driver's mesh guard

must be installed on the front end of the load body. The upper edge of the mesh guard must be

at least 2.6 m from the ground surface. The telescopic jointed shaft must always be equipped

with the full guard.

The mesh guard must be positioned to secure the adapter drums when towing the spreader on

public roads. Spreaders equipped with the body gate can only travel on public roads with the

gate closed.

The spreader can be operated only by adult personnel with a valid tractor driving licence. It is

strictly forbidden to operate the machine when under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.

Exercise due caution when performing any disassembly to prevent personal injury. If your

skin is cut, wash the wound thoroughly, disinfect with medical hydrogen peroxide solution

and seek medical attention. Any wound fouled with manure may result in Tetanus bacteria

infection.

2.1. RESIDUAL RISKS

The N280 spreader has been designed and produced in accordance to the state of technology and safety

requirements valid for its year of manufacture.

The manufacturer of this spreader has taken every effort in its design, production and labelling to eliminate

all hazards related to operation, servicing and maintenance. However, there are specic unavoidable risk present.

Residual risk results from incorrect or improper conduct of the operating personnel. The greatest hazards

occur during the following forbidden actions: The spreader is operated by minors or persons who are unfamiliar

with the operating instructions; The spreader is operated by persons under the inuence of alcohol or other

intoxicants; Performance of any work on the spreader systems, when the spreader is coupled with the tractor with

the running engine.

Attempting to work with the machine before inspecting the work site and environment;

Remaining on (aboard) the machine when it is working or in transit;

Use of telescopic jointed shafts without any guards;

Follow these guidelines and prohibitions:

- read and fully understand the operating instructions;

- secure the machine against access by unauthorised persons and children;

- cleaning, maintenance and repairs must be performed by adequately trained persons and with the PTO drive-

shaft decoupled;

- keep your hands out of hazardous spaces;

- do not use the machine when it is not t for duty and/or when the guards are missing;

- do not use the telescopic jointed shafts without any guards;

- no persons are allowed to remain near the machine when it is working;

- no persons are allowed to remain on the machine when it is working or in transit;

- do not use the machine without the connected and functioning braking and lighting systems;

only then can you eliminate the residual risks to people and the environment when using this spreader.

INFORMATION!

The residual risks are present when the aforementioned rules are not followed.

2.2. NOISE AND VIBRATION

The operator is inside the tractor cab when the machine is working.

The equivalent sound pressure emission level A (LpA) is 75.0 ± 1 dB.

The peak sound pressure value C (LCpeak) is 82.0 ± 1 dB.

Machine sound power – N/A.

(Measurements acc. to PN-EN ISO 4254-1:2006 Annex B section 2.6)

No vibration hazards occur when working with this machine.

The operator's workstation is located in the tractor cab, with shock absorption and an ergonomically

proled seat. The value of the vibration exposure of the operator does not exceed 0.5 m/s2.

3. INFORMATION AND WARNING SIGNS

Extremely hazardous areas are indicated with the yellow warning signs and warning labels placed on the

machine. During operation of this machine, exercise extreme caution when remaining in direct proximity of

these areas.

Check the serial number indicated in the Operating Instructions and the warranty card against the serial

number stamped on the nameplate and the chassis frame. The nameplate and the stamped serial number are

located on the chassis end sill, i.e. on the right side of the machine.
