Agricultural machinery - Manure spreaders - Safety

This standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of all types of manure spreaders, including self-propelled machines, whether the spreading is made to the rear or laterally.
It describes methods for elimination or reduction of hazards which need specific requirements for manure spreaders. It does not deal with general hazards particularly general hazards related to mobility, including those specific to self-propelled machines. These aspects will be dealt with in another standard produced by CEN/TC 14 (see introduction).
In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer.
The list of significant hazards dealt with in this standard is given in annex A. Annex A also indicates the hazards which have not been dealt with.
Environmental aspects have not been considered in this standard.
This standard applies primarily to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of the standard.

Introduction
The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this standard. The hazards that are
common to all the agricultural and forestry machines will be dealt with in a general standard currently in
preparation.
Until the publication of this general standard on common requirements, machines shall comply as appropriate
with EN 292 for hazards which are not dealt with and especially with annex A of EN 292-2:1991 when EN 292
does not give precise requirements.
1 Scope
This standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of all types of
manure spreaders, including self-propelled machines, whether the spreading is made to the rear or laterally.
It describes methods for elimination or reduction of hazards which need specific requirements for manure
spreaders. It does not deal with general hazards particularly general hazards related to mobility, including
those specific to self-propelled machines. These aspects will be dealt with in another standard produced by
CEN/TC 14 (see introduction).
In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer.
The list of significant hazards dealt with in this standard is given in annex A. Annex A also indicates the
hazards which have not been dealt with.
Environmental aspects have not been considered in this standard.
This standard applies primarily to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of the standard.

3 Safety requirements and/or measures
3.1 General
Unless otherwise specified in this standard, the machine shall comply with the requirements of tables 1, 3, 4
and 6 of EN 294:1992.
3.2 Protection against projectiles
Manure spreaders that spread to the rear, whatever type of rotor, shall be fitted with a grating to protect the
driver from projectiles:
 For trailed machines, the grating shall be the same width as the machine body and shall extend at least to
a height of 2,60 m from the ground;
 For self-propelled machines, the grating shall be the same width as the machine body and shall extend at
least 1 m above the SIP (as defined in clause 3 of EN 25353:1998) of the driver's seat, unless any other
part of the machine provides equivalent protection.
The grating shall have a mesh size approximately 30 mm x 30 mm and provide protection at least equal to a
steel grating having a wire diameter of 1,8 mm.
Additionally, in the case of rotors with horizontal axes, a protective device, such as board, sheet or canvas,
shall be placed in front of and for the full width of the upper rotor. The lower edge of the protective device shall
not be higher than the axis of the upper rotor (see figure 1).
If a canvas is used, its lower edge shall be ballasted with 0,6 kg/m.

3.3 Conveyors
3.3.1 Guarding
For conveyors with slats, there shall be no access to the shearing and crushing points at the front and rear
turning points.
Below the body, the distance between the conveyors slats and any fixed part (frame or slats for example) shall
be at least 25 mm, except when the design of the machine is such that protective devices (for example guide
plates) eliminate all hazards involving the fingers.
If access to shearing and crushing points remains:
 When the outer lower edges of the machine body are equal or less than 1 100 mm above ground level,
any points located within 550 mm from the outer lower edges shall be guarded (see figure 2);
 When the outer lower edges of the machine body are more than 1 100 mm above ground level, any
points located within 850 mm from the outer edges shall be guarded (see figure 2).
Dimensions in millimetres

3.3.2 Adjustment
The tension of the conveyor chains shall be adjustable without the operator having to get underneath the
machine body.
3.4 Means of access
When the upper part of the wall of the machine body is more than 1,5 m from the ground, a means of access
shall be provided.

EN 690:1994+A1:2009 (E)
For machines with a power take-off (PTO) drive shaft above the drawbar, the means of access shall not be
directly above the PTO drive shaft.
Spreaders with walls more than 900 mm in height from the bed shall be fitted with an inside means of access.
This means of access, when provided, shall be located adjacent to the outside means of access.
3.5 Removal of the spreading device
A spreading device that can be removed shall be fitted with two clearly identifiable lifting points.
When the machine is designed so that it can be used without the spreading device, the driving gear of the
spreading device which remains on the machine shall be fitted with a guard. This guard shall be an integral
part of the machine and provide guarding of the driving gear when the spreading device is removed.
3.6 Transmission shafts
Transmission shafts beneath the machine body shall be guarded.
3.7 Location of the manual controls
Manual controls, in particular those which are intended for adjusting the speed of conveyors, shall be located
at a minimum distance of 850 mm from any moving unguarded parts of the spreading device.
4 Information for use
4.1 Instruction handbook
Comprehensive instructions and information on all aspects of maintenance and the safe use of the machine
shall be provided in the instruction handbook. It shall comply with 5.5 of EN 292-2:1991.
In particular the following
