2. Purpose of the spreader
The spreader is a universal agricultural machine designed for spreading
manure of any kind, lime, peat and compost, after mounting extensions (the
mounting method is further in the manual - Section 4,2,7 Extensions,
Conveyor) and replacing the rear wall adapter it can be used as a volumetric
dump trailer. The suspension of TANDEM type on parabolic leaves ensures
optimum driving characteristics. The adapter with two vertical rollers ending
with plates in combination with the split deflector (also called the spread limiter
deflector) provides a wide range of potential operating settings which ensure
precise application of the fertilizer and the deflector itself provides a protection
of adapters. The machine is also equipped with a hydraulic wall, which allows
you to adjust the dosage of the material located on the loading box. The
spreader consists of a support frame, floor with a thickness of 3mm and walls
with a height of 1.35 meters (wall 1m + extension 0.35m), which are made from
sheet metal with a thickness of 2mm.
The brake system and lighting and signaling system meet the
requirements arising from the “Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of
31 December 2002 on technical conditions of vehicles and the range of

of movement, using the parking brake and planting chocks under the wheels.
•Replacement of wheels should be carried out on a stable ground, which
prevents collapse of the wheel on which the spreader stands or the lift.
•Repair work on the wheels should be carried out in accordance with the wheel
point exchange and using appropriate tools.
•After each installation of a wheel, tighten the nuts after the first 10 working
hours, then every 50 working hours to check their tightening (according to
Table 7).
•The air pressure is to be checked regularly. Observe the recommended air
pressure.
•Dismantling the wheels can be carried out only in the case when the spreader
is not loaded.
•Avoid damaged road surface, quick and variable maneuvers and high speed
during turns.
•Tire valves are to be protected with caps to prevent penetration of impurities.

pressure.
•Regularly check the technical condition of the connections and the hydraulic
and pneumatic systems. Oil leaks and air leaks are unacceptable.
•In case of failure of the hydraulic or pneumatic installation, the spreader should
be out of operation until failure removal.
•When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor, pay attention that the
hydraulic system of the tractor and the spreader are not under pressure. If
necessary, reduce the residual pressure system.
•In the case of injury with a strong jet of hydraulic oil should, immediately
consult a doctor. The hydraulic oil can penetrate the skin and cause an
infection. If the oil gets into your eyes, rinse with plenty of water and consult a
doctor.
•The oil in the working hydraulic installation may be heated to high
temperatures. In the case of burns, cool the burned place and contact a
physician.
•In the event of contact of oil with skin, wash the dirty spot with soap and water.
Do not use organic solvents (petrol, kerosene).
•Use the hydraulic oil recommended by the Manufacturer.
•After replacing the hydraulic oil, the used oil must be disposed of Used oil or
one that has lost its properties should be stored in its original containers or in
substitute packages which are hydrocarbon-resistant. Replacement containers
must be carefully described and stored properly.
•It is forbidden to store hydraulic oil in packaging designed for food storage.
•Rubber hydraulic couplings must be replaced every 4 years regardless of their
technical condition. Hose replacement must comply with the technical
requirements of the manufacturer.
3.5 Maintenance.

clothing.
•Oils and lubricants are to be carefully removed. The used oil and grease is to
be disposed of.
•Before electrical, welding and working works on the electrical system, separate
the continuous supply of power to the electrical system of the tractor.
•Use the spare parts according to the catalog of spare parts.
•Modifications can be made only with the permission of the manufacturer. The
basic condition for safety are original spare parts and components. Using other
parts may result in exclusion of liability of the manufacturer for resulting
consequences.
•Maintenance operations of the spreader should be carried out on a stable
surface and with securing the spreader against uncontrolled rolling off
(through planting chocks under the wheels, using the handbrake)
•It is forbidden to weld galvanized elements because of the harmful vapors.
3.6 The principles of movement on public roads.
•When driving on public roads you must adapt to the road traffic regulations
and transport regulations in force in the country in which the spreader is
operated.
•Do not exceed the speed limit.
•Adapt the speed to the prevailing road conditions and the degree of loading
of the spreader.
•While driving on public roads, the spreader should be equipped with a certified
or approved warning triangle. A triangular plate should be placed on the rear
wall for slow-moving vehicles (1) as shown below (Fig. 3.2). The triangle must
be attached to the handles located on one of the walls of the deflector.

CynkoMet®N-221/3-9

moving vehicles.
•The presence and transport of people in the load crate of the spreader is
prohibited.
•Before driving, make sure that the spreader is properly connected to the tractor
(in particular, check the link pin hook).
•It is forbidden to park on the slopes with a loaded and unsecured machine.
Securing is based on stopping with the service brake, parking brake and
planting chocks under the wheels. The chocks (1) should be planted only under
one wheel (2) (one front wheel and one on the back - Fig. 3.3).

•Before driving, check that the swivels securing the deflector are is in place.
Make sure that all the walls and the deflector and their mounting is not
damaged mechanically and if that malfunction could cause detachment of the
particular item from the construction of the spreader.
•Prior to each spreader's use, check its technical condition, especially in terms
of safety. In particular, check the technical condition of the coupling system,
drive system, brakes and signaling lights and hydraulic, pneumatic and
electrical connection elements.
•Before driving, check that the parking brake is released and the braking force
regulator is set to the correct position (concerns pneumatic systems with a
manual, three-position regulation).
•The spreader is adapted for driving on slopes up to a maximum inclination of
8°. Moving the spreader on steeper slopes may cause the spreader to tip over
as a result of loss of stability.
•Each time, after finished work, drain the air reservoir in the pneumatic
installation. During frosts, freezing water may cause damage to pneumatic
system components.
•It is prohibited to exceed the admissible spreader load. Exceeding the carrying
1
2

CynkoMet®N-221/3-9
20
capacity may lead to equipment damage, loss of stability while driving,
scattering of the load and cause a hazard to third parties during driving. The
brake system of the machine has been adapted to the total weight of the
spreader, which if exceeded will result in a drastic reduction in the effectiveness
of the brake system.
•The load on the spreader should be distributed evenly and must not impede
driving the set.
•When reversing, it is recommended to use the assistance of another person.
During maneuvering, the person helping must keep a safe distance from the
danger zones and at all times be visible to the operator of the tractor.
•If during reversing we are not using the help of a second person, before
commencing the maneuver, make sure that nobody is in the danger zone.
Before the start of the maneuver, use a sound signal.
NOTE!
NOTE!
Before each maneuver of reversing and start of spreading the
material loaded on the load box, use of the beep signal 2 times
is recommended in the tractor in order to inform bystanders
about the threat.
3.7 Description of residual risk.
Although the "CYNKOMET" Czarna Białostocka company takes
responsibility for the design and construction in order to eliminate the danger,
and has made every effort to eliminate the risk of an accident, some elements
of risk during operation of the spreader are unavoidable. The residual risk
stems from the wrong behavior of the machine operator.
The greatest danger occurs when you do the following:
•use the spreader for purposes other than those described in the manual,
•Being between the spreader and the tractor during work of the engine during
maneuvers, reversing, turning, or aggregation of the spreader to the tractor.
•operating the machine by unauthorized persons, under aged persons or under
the influence of alcohol or other drugs,
•stay on the machine during operation,
