MAINTENANCE TIPS & TRICKS

Be ready for the coming season by giving your Vicon fertiliser spreader a thorough health check and ensuring you have sufficient stocks of essential wearing parts. Your local Vicon dealer is ready to support you with everything you need to keep your machine running reliably and minimise downtime throughout the season.

We have put together a checklist to help you prepare your Vicon Fertiliser Spreader for the upcoming season, ensuring it is ready to perform at its best when you need it most.

Check safe working condition of PTO shaft and guards. Lubricate and replace any faulty parts.

Check Dosing Cup settings. Reset if necessary.

Check all drive shafts & clutch discs. Replace worn parts.

Check oil levels in both gearboxes – top up if required.

Inspect all spreading vanes – replace if worn or damaged.

Ensure all actuators and weigh cells are free of fertiliser residues.

Ensure the hopper is clean and free of any blockages.
