1.2 PROPER USE
Pronar manure spreader is designed for uniform spreading of all kinds of manure, lime, peat
and compost. The special municipal version of the manure spreader with the sealed load box
is designed for spreading dehydrated sludge. The manure spreader must not be used in any
way other than that described above. Using it as intended also involves all actions connected
with the safe and proper operation and maintenance. The manure spreader is not intended or
designed for transporting people or animals.
The manure spreader is constructed according to current safety requirements and
engineering standards. The brake system and the light and indicator system meet the
requirements of road traffic regulations. The maximum speed of the manure spreader on
public roads is 30 km/h in Poland (pursuant to Traffic Law Act of June 20th 1997, article 20).
In the countries where the manure spreader is used, the limits stipulated by the road traffic
legislation in force in a given country must be observed. The manure spreader speed must
not, however, be greater than the maximum design speed.
ATTENTION
The man re spreader m st not be sed for p rposes other than those for which it is
intended, in partic lar:
•
transport people, animals, hazardous materials, chemically
aggressive loads that will corrode the construction elements of the
spreader
•for spreading and transporting toxic and flammable materials,
•for spreading fluids, sand or fibrous substances,
•for tran
sporting construction materials, single objects or any
materials and substances outside the scope of intended use of the
manure spreader,
•overload the spreader in excess of its load carrying capacity.
Using it as intended also involves all actions connected with the safe and proper operation
and maintenance of the machine. In connection with this the user is obliged to:
