1 –Safety Instructions
Before putting into service, please study the operating instructions and respect safety
guidelines!
In these user instructions all hazards and risks to which
operators or other exposed persons are subject to have been
highlighted by this symbol.
Glued onto the spreaders, safety signs indicate
how to use the machine without danger:
Respect for the notices = safety
Standard Usage
The spreader has been designed and
manufactured for the standard usages
described in this manual
Four situations are defined herein: Parking,
loading, transport and spreading (chapter 5)
Nonetheless, a certain number of foreseeable
non-conformity scenarios are questionable
and specifically forbidden. The manufacture
will not be for damages resulting from these
actions.
It is of the utmost importance to respect the
contingency regulations against accidents as
well as the other applicable legislation in
force in terms of safety, health provision in
the workplace and the Highway Code.
The manufacturer waives all liability with
respect to damages caused as a result of an
unauthorised modification of the machine.
General Safety Regulations and
Contingency Plan against Accidents.
1. Definition of the vehicle’s consignment:
before undertaking any actions on the
machine, switch off the engine, release the
hydraulic pressure, apply the parking
brakes (tractor AND trailer) and remove
the keys from the ignition.
2. Prior to starting the tractor's engine, take
care to ensure that the power take-off is
not engaged and that all safety devices
have been equipped and are in perfect
working order.
3. Never disengage or deactivate safety
device. For adjustments, servicing and
maintenance, the procedures described in
the manual must be strictly adhered to
(above all chapters 6/7.
4. It is wholly forbidden to pass under the
vehicle when operational.
5. The machine’s usage is done so entirely at
the responsibility of the driver. The
absence of third parties in the vicinity of
all manoeuvres must be guaranteed.
6. Given the residual risks from collisions or
damage at the spreader apparatus (AND in
its projection area) and that it is
technically impossible to protect it (at the
very least during the working phase=, it
falls under the responsibility of the driver
to ensure that no third parties are present
in the environs when the machine is in
movement.
7. The driver must be fully empowered to
use the machine in the most appropriate
conditions.

The axle follows the vehicle and operates by displacement caused by turns, and should be
blocked whilst travelling (at average or high speeds) and in reverse.
The auto-pilot axle is an axle controll cylinder located on the vehicle’s jib, a closed
hydraulic circuit with nitrogen-filled spheres to keep up the pressure. A tread needs to be
placed on the tractor. It is to be noted that Rolland auto-pilots can be turned into axles
when attached to a treadless tractor since the blocking cylinders of the axle lock have been
preserved. The advantage of this system is that heat doesn’t need to enter at the point of
driving motion, whether forwards or in reverse.

Hydraulic flaps:
Hydraulic flaps are available as an option with models V17, V21 and V25 for C10 and
ROLLFORCE spreaders. Thjese flaps facilitate spreading operations on the borders of land
plots. It is possible to have a left or right-sided flap, or even one on both sides.
Weighing:
ROLLFORCE and ROLLMAX spreaders are able to be fitted with weighing
systems.Weighing information is shown on the jib or axle mounted sensors.Weighing
information is then caught on the weighing control box. The data is then recorded in the box
by client or plot of land worked. Over and above the weighing system, the user may instal
data evaluation software which enables client or plot management (data memory up to 65
000 weighings).A compact, on-board battery operated printer which issues a ticket giving
information on load weight, cumulative totals, by client or land plot is also available as an
option.
