Reading the instruction

Manual and following it should seem to be inconvenient and superfluous as it is not enough to hear from others and to realize that a machine is good, to buy it and to believe that now everything should work by itself. The person in question would not only harm himself but also make the mistake of blaming the machine for possible failures instead of himself. In order to ensure success one should enter the mind of a thing, make himself familiar with every part of the machine and get acquainted with how it's handled.

Only in this way could you be satisfied both with the machine and with yourself. This goal is the purpose of this instruction manual.

It is forbidden to stand in the turning and swivel range of the machine.

24





There are crushing and cutting points at externally-actuated (e.g. hydraulic) machine points. sure that no-one is standing within the prescribed safety distance.



Take note of the working width when driving the machine, no obstacles should be in the way especially when driving on headlands with the sprayer boom folded out.



Before leaving the tractor, secure it against unintended starting and rolling.

To do this:

 apply the parking brake

 switch off the tractor engine

 remove the ignition key



Operation of the machine is carried out only when sitting down.



Use only those fuels specified according to

DIN / EN 590.

Driving on public roads



When using public roads, national road traffic regulations must be observed.



Adjust your driving speed to the prevailing conditions.



Driving on slopes is permitted until a certain inclination! Where possible, driving should be performed vertically to the contours.

Special care should be taken during wet weather conditions.



Drive with great care in case of narrow track widths!



Before starting up the machine each time, always check their traffic and operational safety.


25




The hydraulic system is under a high pressure.



Before working on the hydraulic system,

 depressurise the hydraulic system

 shut off the tractor engine

 apply the parking brake

 remove the ignition key



Have the hydraulic hose lines checked at least once a year by a specialist for proper functioning.



Replace the hydraulic hose lines if they are damaged or worn.

Only use AMAZONE original hydraulic hose lines.



The hydraulic hose lines should not be used for longer than six years. This period includes any storage time of a maximum of two years. Even with proper storage and approved use, hoses and hose connections are subject to natural ageing, thus limiting the length of use. However, it may be possible to specify the length of use from experience values, in particular when taking the risk potential into account. In the case of hoses and hose connections made from thermoplastics, other guide values may be decisive.



Never attempt to plug leaks in hydraulic hose lines with the hand or fingers.

Escaping high pressure fluid (hydraulic fluid) may pass through the skin and ingress into the body, causing serious injuries.


Danger of infection.



When searching for leakage points, use suitable aids, to avoid the serious risk of infection.



The pressure accumulator in the system is always under pressure (gas and oil). Thus, take care that they are not damaged or exposed to temperatures higher than 150° Celsius.



After connecting the hydraulic hoses, always make a check of the direction of function and therefore, the engine or direction of motion of the cylinder are still correct.

26





When working on the electrical system, always disconnect the battery (negative terminal).



Only use the prescribed fuses. If fuses are used that are too highly rated, the electrical system will be destroyed – risk of fire.



Risk of explosion. Avoid sparking and naked flames in the area of the battery.



Ensure that the battery is connected correctly - firstly connect the positive terminal and then connect the negative terminal. When disconnecting the battery, disconnect the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal.



Always place the appropriate cover over the positive battery terminal. If there is accidental earth contact, there is a risk of explosion



The machine may be equipped with electronic components whose function is influenced by electromagnetic interference from other units. Such interference can pose risks to people, if the following safety information is not followed.



If retrofitting electrical units and/or components on the machine with a connection to the on-board power supply, the user is responsible for checking whether the installation might cause faults on the vehicle electronics or other components.



Ensure that the retrofitted electrical and electronic components comply with the EMC directive 2004/108/EC in the appropriate version and bear the CE mark.



The cable clips must be checked for tight fit on a regular basis.

Corrosion to cable connections will lead to the loss of tension.

Clean and grease with acid-free Vaseline.



The battery acid is highly corrosive and any contact to skin should therefore be avoided. If however, acid should get into your eyes, immediately rinse under running water for 10 to 15 minutes and seek medical advice immediately.



Replace damaged cables immediately.



Old batteries must be disposed of according to regulations.



Store the batteries in a dry area during the winter periods (corrosion).



ATTENTION: Move the main switch to the zero position after completing the task. Several components consume current in stand-by mode.


27




Only specialist workshops or recognised brake services can carry out adjustment and repair work on the brake system.



Have the brake system thoroughly checked regularly.



If there are any malfunctions, stop the tractor immediately using the brake system. Have the malfunction rectified immediately.



Before performing any work on the braking system, park the machine safely and secure the machine against unintentional lowering or rolling away (wheel chocks).



Be particularly careful when carrying out any welding, torch cutting or drilling work in the area of the brake lines.



Always carry out a braking test after any adjusting or repair work on the braking system.

Pneumatic braking system



You are only allowed to start to move the vehicle after the hand brake symbol no longer appears in red in AMADRIVE

2.16.5 Tyres



Repair work on tyres and wheels may only be carried out by specialists with suitable installation tools.



Check the air pressure at regular intervals.



Inflate tyres to the specified pressure. If the air pressure in the tyres is too high, then there is a risk of explosions.



Park the machine in a safe place and lock the machine against unintentional lowering and rolling (parking brake, wheel chocks), before carrying out work on the tyres.



Tighten or retighten all the fixing screws and nuts in accordance with the specifications of AMAZONEN-WERKE.

28


2.16.6 Field sprayer operation




Observe the recommendations of the crop protection agent manufacturer in respect of

 warning information on exposure to crop protection agents

 regulations on dosing, applications and cleaning



Observe the information in the German Plant Protection Law.



Never open lines which are under pressure.



The nominal volume of the spray liquid tank must not be exceeded during filling.



When using fine drops in stronger winds, take care that the spraying agent can not be blown away and may cause damage to others!



When the ground is very dry, the spraying agent can be blown away to other fields along with dust and cause damage. Always wait until the ground is sufficiently moist!



We recommend that you check the success of the spraying operation every now and then, such as: dosage quantity, blocked nozzles, damage to machine parts, leaks and cleanliness of the machine.



Reduce your speed when turning.

The steering wheel must be turned slowly at the start and end of the curve otherwise the boom will be exposed to high loads.



Switch off the sprayer on headlands.



Always carry sufficient water with you so that you are able to rinse away the crop protectant in the event of an emergency. If necessary, seek medical advice if your body makes contact with crop protectant! Risk of infection.



When there will be exposure to crop protection agent, wear the proper protective clothing, i.e. gloves, overalls, safety glasses, etc.



Observe the information on the compatibility of crop protection agents and substances for the field sprayer.



Do not spray any crop protection agents which have a tendency to stick together or set.



Do not fill field sprayers with water from bodies of water which are open to the public, for the protection of people, animals and the environment.



Only fill field sprayers

 using a free flow from the mains water supply.

 using genuine AMAZONE filling equipment.


29


2.16.7 Cleaning, maintenance and repairs



Due to toxic vapours in the spray liquid tank, climbing into the spray liquid tank is always forbidden.



Repair work in the spray liquid tank must only be carried out by a specialist workshop!



As a general rule, only carry out maintenance or repair work or cleaning when

 the drive is switched off

 the ignition key has been removed



The machine must be positioned in a stable position during repairs. Always use wheel chocks on slopes.



Secure the raised machine and/or raised machine parts against unintentional lowering before performing any cleaning, maintenance or repair work on the machine.



Regularly check the nuts and bolts for firm seating and retighten them as necessary.



When replacing work tools with blades, use suitable tools and gloves.



Dispose of oils, greases and filters in the appropriate way.



When changing the oil or dismantling the hydraulic parts, take measures to prevent the risk of burns that can result from hot oil.



The cooling system of the engine should be cleaned on a regular basis; oil and plant residues are highly inflammable.



Always wear protective clothing when welding!



Attention: If the machine had previously been used to spray liquid fertiliser (ammonium nitrate), there is a risk of explosion when carrying out welding work! Clean the respective work area before starting work.



Spare parts must meet at least the specified technical requirements of AMAZONEN-WERKE.

This is ensured through the use of genuine AMAZONE spare parts.



Anti-freeze: The fluid must be drained from all lines, pumps and containers.



When repairing field sprayers which have been used for liquid fertiliser application with ammonium nitrate / urea solution, observe the following points:

Residues of ammonium nitrate / urea solutions may form salts by the evaporation of the water on or in the spray liquid tank. This produces pure ammonium nitrate and urea. In its undiluted form, ammonium nitrate is explosive when combined with organic substances, e.g. urea, and subjected to critical temperatures during repair work (e.g. welding, grinding, filing).

This danger can be eliminated by thoroughly washing out the spray liquid tank or the parts intended for repair with water, because the salt of the ammonium nitrate / urea solution is watersoluble. For this reason, clean the field sprayer thoroughly with water before carrying out repair work.

4.7 Consequences of using certain crop protection agents


We would like to draw attention to the fact that extended exposure (20 hours) to crop protection agents with which we are familiar, e.g. Lasso, Betanal and Tramat, Stomp, Iloxan, Mudecan, Elancolan and Teridox, can cause damage to the pump diaphragms, hoses, spray lines and tanks. The examples given are in no way intended to represent a comprehensive list.

In particular, we warn against unauthorised mixtures of two or more different crop protection agents.

Substances which have a tendency to stick together or set must not be applied.

When using such aggressive crop protection agents, it is recommended that the spray liquid be applied immediately after preparation and then that the sprayer be thoroughly cleaned with water.

Viton membranes are available as replacements for pumps. These are resistant to solvent-containing crop protection agents. However their service life is reduced by use at low temperatures (e.g. AUS in frosty conditions).

The materials and components used for AMAZONE field sprayers are safe for liquid fertiliser.


39


4.8 Danger areas and danger points

The danger area is the area around the machine in which people can be caught by:

 work movements made by the machine and its tools

 materials or foreign bodies thrown out of the machine

 tools rising or falling unintentionally

 unintentional rolling of the tractor and the machine

Within the machine danger area, there are danger points with permanent or unexpected risks. Warning symbols indicate these danger points and warn against residual dangers, which cannot be eliminated for practical reasons. In such cases, the special safety regulations in the appropriate section are valid.

No-one may stand in the machine danger area:

 if the tractor engine is running with the PTO shaft / hydraulic system connected.

 if the tractor and machine are not protected against unintentional start-up and rolling.

The operating person may only move the machine or switch or drive the tools from the transport position to the working position or viceversa when there is no-one in the machine danger area.

Danger points exist:

 where there are moving components.

 on the moving machine.

 in the swivel range of the sprayer boom.

 in the spray liquid tank due to poisonous vapours.

 under raised, unsecured machines or machine parts.

 when unfolding/folding the sprayer boom in the vicinity of overhead electricity cables, through contact with the cables.



Requirement-orientated adoption of the engine speed with regard to an optimum fuel consumption and maximum output.



Reduced speed level.



Highest speed, 40 km/h at 1250 min

.



Idling speed 800 min

-1

.

Standard mode:



Full driving dynamics.



Maximum engine speed of 2300 min

-1

possible.



Manual adjustment of the engine speed in field mode.

5.1.1 Driving-in the engine

We recommend that you treat the engine with great care during the first 50 operational hours. This means that the engine has to warm-up first during this period before it is sped up to high load and not at full speed straight away.

Following work at maximum load, allow the engine to idle for a while until the temperature of the motor sinks to a normal value to prevent heat accumulation if the engine is stopped immediately.

The oil has to be changed after the first 50 to 150 operational hours

(while the engine is still warm!), the oil filter and fuel filters also have to be replaced.

In the event of queries on maintenance, observe the details of the engine manufacturer.

46


5.1.2 Engine fuel system

The fuel tank is located on the right side of the machine.

(1) Fuel tank

(2) Slewable ladder for filling the fuel tank in its transport position

(3) Locking mechanism of the ladder pivoted upwards

Ladder and platform can be pivoted:

Fig. 15: ladder and platform in transport position

Fig. 16: ladder and platform in operational position

Fig. 15


WARNING

Risk of accidents resulting from the ladder folding out unintentionally.

The ladder must be pivoted up to the transport position and secured mechanically with locking device.

Fig. 16

Fig. 17


CAUTION



Turn off the engine when filling the fuel tank.



Never smoke when filling the fuel tank!



Take care that no oil / petrol penetrates into the ground



Environmental pollution!

47




Also make sure that no dirt is able to enter the fuel tank.



Before you open the tank, you have to clean the cover and the opening thoroughly first.

 Small contaminants may seriously damage the fuel system.



Preferably, the tank should be filled in the evening immediately after working in order to avoid the accumulation of condensed water in the tank.

 Water can cause damage to the fuel system and leads to the formation of rust.

Avoid driving until the fuel tank is empty.

 Air and impurities in the residual petrol may enter the system and reduce the service life or block the fuel pump.

Fuel quality

Take care that you fill the tank with the fuel for the respective season!

Additives are contained in winter fuel that prevent the formation of paraffin and ice crystals at low temperatures. Otherwise this may lead to blockages in the fuel system.

When using the machine in transitional periods, you should therefore fill the tank with fuels complying with DIN/EN 590.

5.2.1 Hydraulic track width adjustment

The machine has an infinitely variable track width adjustment.

The track width of the machine can be adjusted between 1800 mm and 2250 mm to 2600 mm depending on the wheels mounted.



The track width is adjusted and displayed via the AMADRIVE.



When driving on public roads, the wheels are not allowed to protrude over the outer dimensions of the machine.

For France only: If the track width is not adjusted sufficiently small enough, the AMADRIVE will display a warning message and limit the speed.

The track width is entered via the AMADRIVE and adjusted during an automatic adjustment drive.

Via the suction chest (B), suction line (5) and suction filter (6), the spraying pump (4) sucks

 the spray liquid from the spray liquid tank (1).

 flushing water from the flushing water tank (2).

The flushing water serves to clean the spray system.

 fresh water via the external suction port (3).

The liquid that has been drawn in is fed via the pressure hose (7) to the pressure equipment switch tap (A), and from there is fed

 via the self cleaning pressure filter to the part width section valves (8). The part width section valves then send the liquid to separate spray lines.

Via the additional agitator setting tap (I) on the pressure filter, the stirring performance can be increased when stirring spray liquid.

 to the injector and induction bowl.

To prepare the spray liquid, pour the relevant quantity of agent required to fill the spray liquid tank into the induction bowl (9) and evacuate into the spray liquid tank.

 directly into the spray liquid tank (E).

 to the internal (F) or external cleaning switch tap (G).

The agitator pump (10) supplies the main agitator (11) in the spray liquid tank. The automatic filling level dependent regulation (12) of the main agitator ensures for a homogeneous spray liquid in the spray liquid tank



Use all the filters provided with the filter equipment. Clean the filters regularly (refer to the "Cleaning" section, page 188). Faultfree field sprayer operation can only be achieved by correct filtering of the spray liquid. Correct filtering has a significant effect on the success of the crop protection measures.



Pay attention to the permissible combinations of filters and mesh sizes. The mesh sizes for the self cleaning pressure filter and the nozzle filters must always be smaller than the nozzle opening of the nozzles in question.



Ensure that the use of pressure filter inserts with 80 or 100 mesh

/ inch for some crop protection agents can filter out active agents. In individual cases, enquire with crop protection agent manufacturers.

6.13 Construction and function of the sprayer boom

The proper condition of the sprayer boom and how it is suspended have considerable influence on the distribution accuracy of the spray liquid. With the spraying height of the sprayer boom to the crop set correctly, a complete overlap is achieved. Nozzles are attached to the boom at intervals of 50 cm.



Adjust the spraying height (gap between the nozzle and crop) according to the spray table.



Always align the sprayer boom parallel to the ground; only then can the specified spraying height be achieved on all nozzles.



Carry out all adjustment work to the sprayer boom carefully.

Operation of the boom is carried out via the operating terminal or multi-function stick.

94


Profi-folding:


Profi-folding consists of the following functions:



Folding the sprayer boom in and out,



Hydraulic height adjustment,

 Hydraulic adjustment,



Folding in one side of the sprayer boom



One-sided, independent raising and lowering of the sprayer boom / boom extension (Profi-folding II only).

Refer to the software operating manual AMABUS / ISOBUS!

Outer boom locking

The outer boom locking mechanisms protect the boom from damage if the outer boom sections come into contact with solid obstructions. The respective plastic clutch (Fig. 83/1) enables the outer boom section to avoid collision by moving around the articulated axle (Fig. 83/2), in and against the direction of travel; it is then automatically returned to its working position.

Adjust spraying height

Fig. 83

WARNING

Risk of crushing and impact for personnel who are caught while the height of the sprayer boom is being raised or lowered.

Direct people out of the danger area of the machine before raising or lowering the sprayer boom using height adjustment.

Always align the sprayer boom parallel to the ground; only then can the specified spraying height be achieved on all nozzles.


95


Folding out and in

CAUTION

It is prohibited to fold the sprayer boom in and out during travel.

DANGER

Always maintain an adequate distance from overhead cables when folding the sprayer boom out and in. Contact with overhead cables may lead to fatal injuries.

WARNING

Risk of crushing the entire body and impact due to personnel becoming trapped by laterally-swivelling machine parts.

These dangers can cause extremely serious and potentially fatal injuries.

Maintain an adequate safety distance from moving machine parts while the tractor engine is running.

Ensure that all personnel maintain an adequate safety distance from moving machine parts.

Instruct personnel to leave the swivel range of any moving machine parts before swivelling the parts.

WARNING

Danger for third parties from crushing, being drawn in and/or caught by the moving parts of the boom or impact if they stand in the swivel range of the boom while it is folding out or in.



Instruct personnel to leave the swivel range of the boom before you fold the boom out or in.



Release the control for folding the boom out and in immediately if someone enters the swivel range.

The hydraulic cylinders for boom folding maintain their respective end positions (transport position and working position) in both the folded-in and folded-out boom state.

Working with the sprayer boom folded out on one side

Working with the sprayer boom only folded out on one side is only permissible

 with the swing compensation locked.

6.16 Tilt adjustment

(optional)

In unfavourable ground conditions, e.g. when there are ruts of variable depth or when driving with one side of the vehicle in a furrow, the sprayer boom can be aligned parallel to the ground or to the target surface using hydraulic tilt adjustment.

Adjust using operating terminal.

100


6.17 DistanceControl


(optional)

The DistanceControl regulating unit for the sprayer boom automatically holds the sprayer boom parallel at the desired distance from the target surface.

Two ultrasound sensors (Fig. 89/1) detect the distance to the ground or the crop. If the height deviates from the desired measurement on one side, the distance control regulates the tilt adjustment in order to adjust the height. If the terrain rises on both sides, the height adjustment raises the entire boom.

Switching off the sprayer boom on a headland will automatically raise the sprayer boom by approx. 50 cm. When switched back on again, the sprayer boom is lowered back to the calibrated height.

Fig. 89

See software AMABUS / ISOBUS operating manual.

6.18 Spray lines and nozzles

The sprayer booms can be fitted with various spray lines. In turn, the spray lines can be fitted with single nozzles or multi nozzles, depending on the predominant conditions of use.

Fig. 90

Ensure that the residue in the spray line is still being sprayed at an undiluted concentration. Always spray this residue on an untreated area. The residue contained in the spray line is dependent on the sprayer boom working width.

Formula for calculating the required distance in [m] for spraying out the undiluted residue in the spray line:

Undiluted residue [l] x 10,000 [m

When using multiple nozzle types, it is beneficial to use multi nozzles (Fig. 92). In each case, the nozzle pointing upwards is the one that is supplied.

Turning the multi nozzles head (Fig. 92/1) anticlockwise brings a different nozzle into play.

The multi nozzles head is switched off in the intermediate positions. This provides the possibility of reducing the working width of the boom.

Rinse the spray lines before twisting the multi nozzles head onto another nozzle type.

6.19 Special optional equipment for liquid fertiliser

There are currently two main types of liquid fertiliser available:



Ammonium nitrate / urea solution (AUS) with 28 kg N per 100 kg

AUS.



An NP solution 10-34-0 with 10 kg N and 34 kg P

2

O

5

per 100 kg

NP solution.

If the liquid fertiliser is sprayed using flat-fan nozzles, multiply the corresponding values from the spray table for the spray rate (l/ha) by

0.88 for AUS and by 0.85 for NP solutions, as the spray rates listed

(in l/ha) only apply for water.

As a rule:

Use coarse-dropped application for liquid fertiliser to avoid chemical burns to the plants. Overly large drops roll off the leaf and drops which are too small cause a magnifying glass effect, which burns the leaves. Too much fertiliser may cause burns to appear on the leaves due to the salt concentration in the fertiliser.

As a rule, do not spray more liquid fertiliser than, for example, 40 kg N

(see also "Conversion table for spraying liquid fertiliser"). Always discontinue nozzle-based AUS fertilisation at development stage EC-39, because chemical burns on ears have a particularly bad effect.

6.19.1 Three-ray nozzles

(optional)

The use of three-ray nozzles for applying liquid fertiliser is beneficial if the liquid fertiliser needs to be taken up more by the roots of the plant than through the leaves.

Thanks to its three openings, the dosing aperture, which is integrated into the nozzle, ensures a coarse-dropped, almost depressurised distribution of the liquid fertiliser. This prevents an undesirable spray mist and the formation of smaller drops. The coarse drops produced by the three-ray nozzle hit the plants with little force and roll off their surface.

Although this avoids damage from burns to the greatest extent possible, avoid the use of three-ray nozzles for late top dressing

and use drag hoses.

For all three-ray nozzles listed in the following, only use the black bayonet nut.

Different three-ray nozzles and their operational areas

(at 8 km/h)

 yellow 50 - 80l AUS / ha

 red 80 - 126l AUS / ha

 blue 115 - 180l AUS / ha

 white 155 - 267l AUS / ha


107


6.19.2 7 hole nozzles / FD nozzles (optional)

The same conditions apply for using 7 hole nozzles / FD nozzles as for the three-ray nozzles. In contrast to the three-ray nozzle, in the case of the 7 hole nozzle / FD nozzles, the outlets are not oriented downwards, but instead point to the side. This allows very large drops to be produced on the plants using only slight impact forces.

6.22 Foam marker

(optional)

The foam marker (Fig. 102/1 and Fig. 102/3), which can be retrofitted at any point, makes it possible to drive the next bout precisely when spraying fields without marked-out tramlines.

Marking involves the use of foam bubbles. The foam bubbles are laid at adjustable intervals of approx. 10 – 15 metres, providing a clearly-

visible orientation line. The foam bubbles dissolve after a certain time without leaving any residue behind.

Set the interval between the individual appli-

cations of bubbles using the slotted screw as follows: distance is increased, distance is decreased.



For normal spraying operation, the pressure circulating system should usually be switched on.



When using drag hoses, the pressure circulating system should usually be switched off.

The pressure circulating system

 enables the constant circulation of liquid in the spray line. For these purposes, a suction port hose (Fig. 105/1) is assigned to each part width section.

 enables operation using spray liquid or flushing water, as desired.

 reduces the undiluted residue for all spray lines to 2 l.

The constant circulation of liquid

 enables production of an even spray pattern right from the start, because spray liquid is available at every spraying nozzle immediately after the sprayer boom is switched on, with no delay.

 prevents damage to the spray line.

The principal components of the pressure circulating system are:

 one suction port hose (Fig. 105/1) per part width section.

 the DUS switch tap (Fig. 106/1).

 the DUS pressure relief valve

(Fig. 106/2). The DUS pressure relief valve is permanently set at the factory and reduces the pressure in the pressure circulating system to 1 bar.

 If the DUS switch tap is in position (Fig.

106/A), the pressure circulating system is switched ON.


106/B), the pressure circulating system is switched OFF.


106/C), liquid can be drained from the field sprayer.

135


11.3 Preparing the spray liquid

WARNING

Risk of accidental contact with crop protection agent and/or spray liquid.



Always induct the crop protection agent into the spray liquid tank using the induction bowl.



Swivel the induction bowl into the filling position before pouring in crop protection agent.



Observe the safety regulations on physical protective equipment and breathing apparatus for use when handling crop protection agent and preparing the spray liquid, in the instructions for use of the crop protection agent.



Do not prepare the spray liquid in the vicinity of wells or surface water.



Avoid leaks and contamination with crop protection agent and/or spray liquid through appropriate conduct and wearing appropriate physical protection equipment.



To avert risks to third parties, do not leave the prepared spray liquid, unused crop protection agent or used crop protection agent canisters and the uncleaned field sprayer unattended.



Protect contaminated crop protection agent canisters and the contaminated field sprayer from precipitation.



During and after preparing the spray liquid, ensure sufficient cleanliness in order that risks may be kept as low as possible

(e.g. thoroughly wash used gloves before removing them and dispose of the washing water and cleaning fluid in the proper manner).



The prescribed water and agent spray rate can be found in the directions for use of the crop protection agent.



Please read intently the directions for use of the agent and observe the specified precautions!

136





Next to the general applicable instructions listed here, also observe the product specific procedures for crop protectant described in the instructions for use.





The prescribed water and agent spray rate can be found in the directions for use for the crop protection agent.



Read the directions for use for the agents and observe the specified precautions.



We recommend that customers/operators visit our website, www.Wirkstoffmanager.de. The site contains a program which will calculate your filling quantity or re-fill quantity.





As it is difficult to dispose of residues in an environmentallyfriendly manner, carefully calculate the required filling quantity or re-fill quantity to avoid leaving any residue at the end of the spraying operation.



To calculate the required re-fill quantity for topping up the spray liquid tank, use the "Filling table for remaining spray area". To do this, subtract the technical, undiluted residue in the sprayer boom from the calculated re-fill quantity.

Refer to the section "Filling table for remaining areas" page141.



Carefully wash out the empty agent tank (e.g. using canister flushing) and add the flushing water to the spray liquid.

While filling, pay attention to the permissible load capacity of your field sprayer. Always take the differing specific weights [kg/l] for the individual liquids into account while filling your field sprayer.

Specific weights of different liquids

Density [kg/l] 1 1.11 1.28 1.38



As it is difficult to dispose of residues in an environmentallyfriendly manner, carefully calculate the required filling quantity or refill quantity to avoid leaving any residue at the end of the spraying operation.



To calculate the required refill quantity for final filling of the spray liquid tank, use the "Filling table for remaining spray area". To do this, subtract the technical, undiluted residue in the sprayer boom from the calculated refill quantity!

Refer to the section "Filling table for remaining areas".


137


Procedure

1. Determine the required water and agent spray rate by consulting the directions for use of the crop protection agent.

2. Calculate the filling quantity or refill quantity for the area to be treated.

3. Fill the machine and blend in the agent.

4. Agitate the spray liquid before commencing spraying operations in accordance with the instructions of the spraying agent manufacturer.

Fill the machine preferably using a suction hose and blend in the agent while filling.

The induction area is thereby flushed with water constantly.



During the filling process, start blending in the agent once the tank filling level has reached more than 20%.



When using more than one agent:



Clean the canister immediately after each induction of an agent.



Flush the induction port after each induction of an agent.



When filling, no foam must escape from the spray liquid tank.

The addition of a froth-inhibiting agent also prevents the spray liquid tank from frothing over.

The agitators normally remain switched on from the initial filling to the end of the spraying operation. The instructions of the agent manufacturer, however, have priority.



With the agitator running, feed the water-soluble plastic film bag directly into the spray liquid tank.



Before spraying, fully dissolve the urea by circulating the liquid.

When dissolving large quantities of urea, the temperature of the spray liquid falls more sharply; the urea consequently dissolves more slowly. The warmer the water, the faster and more completely the urea can dissolve.

138





Carefully wash the empty agent canisters, render them unusable, collect and dispose of them in a proper manner. Do not reuse them for other purposes.



If only spray liquid is available for washing the agent canisters, first use this to carry out preliminary cleaning. Then wash them meticulously when clear fresh water is available, e.g. before preparing the next load for the spray liquid tank or when diluting the residue from the last load.



Carefully wash out the empty agent tank (e.g. using canister flushing) and add the flushing water to the spray liquid!


139


11.3.1 Calculating the filling and re-fill quantity

To calculate the required re-fill quantity for final filling of the spray liquid tank use the "Filling table for remaining spray area", page 141.

Example 1:

The following are given:

Tank nominal volume

Residue in the tank

Water consumption

Agent required per ha

Agent A

Agent B

Question:

1000 l

0 l

400 l/ha

1.5 kg

1.0 l

How many litres of water, how many kg of Agent A and how many litres of Agent B must be used to treat a surface of 2.5 ha in area?

Answer:

Water: 400 l/ha x 2.5 ha = 1000 l

Agent A

Agent B

1.5 kg/ha

1.0 l/ha x 2.5 ha x 2.5 ha

= 3.75 kg

= 2.5 l

Example 2:

The following are given:

Tank nominal volume

Residue in the tank

Water consumption

Recommended concentration

1000 l

200 l

500 l/ha

0.15 %

Question 1:

How many litres or kg of agent are needed to fill the tank?

Question 2:

How large is the area to be treated in ha if a residue of 20 l remains in the tank after spraying?

Formula and answer to Question 1:

Refill amount of water [l] x Concentration [%]

=

Addition of agent[l or kg]

100

(1000 – 200) [l] x 0.15 [%]

=

1.2 [l or kg]

100

140


Formula and answer to Question 2:

Quantity of liquid available [l] – Residue [l]

Water consumption [l/ha]

1000 [l] (tank nominal volume) – 20 [l] (residue)

500 [l/ha] Water consumption


=

Area to be treated [ha]

=

1.96 [ha]

11.3.2 Filling table for remaining spray area

To calculate the required re-fill quantity for final filling of the spray liquid tank use the "Filling table for remaining spray area". Deduct the residue in the spray line from the calculated re-fill quantity. See

"Spray lines" section, page 102.

The specified re-fill quantities apply for a spray rate of 100 l/ha. For other spray rates, the re-fill quantity increases by a multiple.

Special instructions for spraying operation



Test the field sprayer by carrying out calibration

 before the start of the season.

 in the case of deviations between the actual indicated spray pressure and the spray pressure prescribed in the spray table.



Before starting spraying, determine the exact spray rate required, referring to the instructions of the crop protection agent manufacturer.

 Before starting spraying, enter the required spray rate (target rate) in operating terminal.



During spraying operation, precisely adhere to the required spray rate [l/ha]

 in order to achieve the best possible results from your crop protection measure.

 to avoid unnecessary pollution of the environment.



Select the required nozzle type from the spray table before spraying starts, taking account of

 the intended operational speed,

 the required spray rate and

 the required atomisation characteristic (fine, medium or coarse-dropped) of the crop protection agent used for the crop protection measure.

Refer to the section "Spray tables for flat-fan, anti-drift, injector and airmix nozzles", on page 232.



Select the required nozzle size from the spray table before spraying starts, taking account of



 the target spray pressure.




Select a low operational speed and a low spray pressure to prevent wastage from drifting.




At wind speeds of 3 m/s, take additional drift reduction measures

(refer to the section "Measures for drift reduction", page 152.


149




Refrain from use if average wind speeds top 5 m/s (leaves and thin twigs move).



Only switch the sprayer boom on and off during travel to avoid the application of excessive doses.



Avoid the application of excessive doses through overlapping caused by imprecise bout tracking from one spray path to the next and/or when cornering on the headland with the sprayer boom switched on.



When increasing operational speed, make sure that the maximum permissible pump drive speed of 550 rpm is not exceeded.



During spraying operation, constantly check actual spray liquid consumption with reference to the area treated.



Calibrate the flow meter if there are any differences between the actual and displayed spray rate.



Calibrate the distance sensor (pulses per 100 m) if there are differences between the actual distance covered, and that displayed.

See operating terminal operating manual.



If spraying operation is interrupted due to bad weather, clean the suction filter, the pump, the valve chest and the spray lines. See page 162.



Spray pressure and nozzle size influence drop size and the volume of liquid sprayed. The higher the spray pressure, the smaller the droplet diameter of the spray liquid. The smaller droplets are subject to increased, undesirable drifting.



The agitator normally remains switched on from filling to the end of spraying operation. On this account, the instructions of the agent manufacturer are decisive.



If there is a sudden significant drop-off in spray pressure, the spray liquid tank is empty.



If the spray pressure drops off while conditions remain otherwise unaltered, the suction or pressure filter are blocked.

operating terminal.

 The agitator operates with a filling level-dependent intensity.

11.4.2 Drift reduction measures



Reschedule treatment for the early morning or the evening hours

(there is generally less wind).



Choose larger nozzles and a higher water spray rate.



Reduce spray pressure.



Precisely maintain the working height of the boom, because the risk of drifting rises very sharply as the distance between the nozzles increases.



Reduce operational speed (to below 8 km/h).



Use so-called anti-drift (AD) nozzles or injector (ID) nozzles

(nozzles which produce a high proportion of coarse drops).



Observe the distance requirements of the respective crop protection agent

11.4.3 Dilute the spray liquid with flushing water

1. Operating terminal: start dilution.

 Flushing water is fed to the tank via the auxiliary agitator.

2. Observe the fill level of the tank.

3. Operating terminal: stop dilution.

The spray line is flushed on machines with nozzle control. When restarting the spraying, two to five minutes will elapse until the spraying agent can be spread.

Fig. 120

152


11.5 Residues


There are three types of residue:

 excessive residue remaining in the spray liquid tank when the spraying operation is finished

 This excessive residue is discharged diluted or pumped-out and disposed of.

 the technical residue that remains in the spray liquid tank, the suction chest and the spray line when the spray pressure drops off by 25%

The suction chest is composed of the suction filter, pump and pressure controller sub-assemblies. Observe the values for the technical residues given on page 102.

 This technical residue is discharged diluted onto the field while cleaning the field sprayer.



The final residue that remains in the spray liquid tank, the suction chest and the spray line after being cleaned with air discharge from the nozzles.

 This final diluted residue is drained off after cleaning.

11.5.1 Disposing of the residues



Make sure that the residue in the spray line continues to be sprayed in an undiluted concentration. Always spray this residue on an untreated area. The distance needed to use up this undiluted residue can be found in the section "Technical Data - spray lines", page 102. The residue contained in the spray line is dependent on the sprayer boom working width.



Switch on the agitator for spraying the spray liquid tank empty when the residue in the spray liquid tank is only 5% of the nominal volume. With the agitator switched on, the technical residue increases in comparison to the specified values.



Measures intended for the user's protection apply when emptying residues. Observe the instructions from the crop protection agent manufacturer and wear appropriate protective clothing.

11.6 Cleaning the field sprayer



Keep the exposure time as short as possible, for example by daily cleaning of the utensils after the spraying operation is completed. Do not leave the spray liquid in the spray liquid tank for an excessively long period, e.g. overnight.

The service life and reliability of the field sprayer mainly depend on how long the materials of the field sprayer are exposed to the crop protection agent.



Clean the field sprayer thoroughly before applying a different crop protection agent.



Carry out the cleaning process on the field where you last carried out the treatment.



Carry out the cleaning process using water from the flushing water tank.



The minimum load bearing capacity must be 5 tons.



Take care that the jack is positioned correctly in the sleeve

(Fig. 158/1).

Fig. 158

Replacing the wheels with another offset depth

The offset depth influences the track width of the machine.

The wheels used must be entered for the correct display of the track width on the AMADRIVE.

 The minimum track width must be no less than 1,800 mm. Otherwise, the wheels will collide with the running gear and there is a risk of tipping.

Tyre pressures



The required tyre pressure is dependent on

 tyre loading capacity.

 speed.



The operational performance of the tyres is reduced

 if tyre pressure is too low.

 if tyre pressure is too high.



Check tyre pressures regularly when the tyres are cold, i.e. before starting a run (see page 42).



The difference in pressure between the tyres on one axle must be no greater than 0.1 bar.



Tyre pressure can be raised by up to 1 bar after a fast run or in warm weather. Tyre pressure should on no account be reduced as it is then too low when the tyres cool down.

Fitting tyres



Remove any instances of corrosion from the wheel rim seating surfaces before fitting a new / another tyre. Corrosion can cause damage to the wheel rims when the vehicle is in operation.



When fitting new tyres, always use new valves for tubeless tyres or new inner tubes.



Always fit the valves with valve caps which have a gasket insert.

198


13.5.14 Brakes


Changing the brake pads should only be performed by an authorized repair shop!

Perform a brake test following all work on the brakes.



The braking distance from a speed of 40 km/h should be between 18 m and 24 m.



The machine must not pull to one side when braking.

Check the brake lining thickness

There is an inspection window (Fig. 159/1)in the anchor plate of the brake drum in order to check the wear of the brake linings.

Brake lining thickness:



6 - 7 mm

 Change the brake lining and check the brake drum.

We recommend that you check the brake drum for wear and defects once a year in all cases.

Brake adjustment

Due to its function resulting from wear to the brake shoes, the brake adjustment must be checked and, where applicable, make a readjustment.

1. Remove the safety plate on the adjustment screw.

2. Screw the bolt (Fig. 159/2) in completely and loosen by a ¼ turn.

3. Refit the safety plate.

Fig. 159

WARNING

Risk of infection through the high pressure hydraulic fluid of the hydraulic system entering the body.



Only a specialist workshop may carry out work on the hydraulic system.



Depressurise the hydraulic system before carrying out work on the hydraulic system.



When searching for leak points, always use suitable aids.



Never attempt to plug leaks in hydraulic hose lines with your hand or fingers.

Escaping high pressure fluid (hydraulic fluid) may pass through the skin and ingress into the body, causing serious injuries.

If you are injured by hydraulic fluid, contact a doctor immediately. Risk of infection



When connecting the hydraulic hose lines to the hydraulic system of connected machines, ensure that the hydraulic system is depressurised on both the drawing vehicle and the trailer.



Ensure that the hydraulic hose lines are connected correctly.



Regularly check all the hydraulic hose lines and couplings for damage and impurities.



Have the hydraulic hose lines checked at least once a year by a specialist for proper functioning.



Replace the hydraulic hose line if it is damaged or worn. Only use genuine AMAZONE hydraulic hose lines.



The hydraulic hose lines should not be used for longer than six years. This period includes any storage time of a maximum of two years. Even with proper storage and approved use, hoses and hose connections are subject to natural ageing, thus limiting the length of use. However, it may be possible to specify the length of use from experience values, in particular when taking the risk potential into account. In the case of hoses and hose connections made from thermoplastics, other guide values may be decisive.



Dispose of old oil in the correct way. If you have problems with disposal, contact your oil supplier.



Keep hydraulic fluid out of the reach of children!



Ensure that no hydraulic fluid enters the soil or waterways.

200


Labelling hydraulic hose lines

Valve chest identification provides the following information:

Fig. 160/...

(1) Manufacturer's marking on the hydraulic hose line (A1HF)

(2) Date of manufacture of the hydraulic hose lines (02 04 = February 2004)

(3) Maximum approved operating pressure

(210 BAR).

Fig. 160

Maintenance intervals


After the first 10 operating hours, and then every 50 operating hours

1. Check all the components of the hydraulic system for tightness.

2. If necessary, tighten screw unions.

Before each start-up:

1. Check the hydraulic hose lines for visible damage.

2. Repair any areas of chafing on hydraulic hose lines and pipes.

3. Replace any worn or damaged hydraulic hose lines immediately.


201


Inspection criteria for hydraulic hose lines

For your own safety and in order to reduce pollution, ensure the following inspection criteria.

Replace hoses if the respective hose fulfils at least one of the following criteria:



Damage to the outer layer up to the ply (e.g. scouring points, cuts, cracks).



Brittleness of the outer layer (crack formation of the hose material).



Deformations which do not match the natural shape of the hose.

Both in a depressurised and pressurised state or when bent

(e.g. layer separation, bubble formation, pinching, bends).



Damage or deformation of the hose assembly (sealing function restricted); minor surface damage is not a reason for replacement.



Movement of the hose out of the assembly.



Corrosion of assembly, reducing the function and tightness.



Installation requirements not complied with.



Life span of 6 years has been exceeded.

The date of manufacture of the hydraulic hose line on the assembly is decisive for determining these six years. If the date of manufacture on the assembly is "2004", then the hose should not be used beyond February 2010. See also "Labelling of hydraulic hose lines".

202


Installation and removal of hydraulic hose lines


When installing and removing hydraulic hose lines, always observe the following information:



Use only genuine AMAZONE replacement hoses.



Always install the hydraulic hose lines to ensure the following in all operating positions



There is no tension, apart from the hose's own weight.



There is no possibility of jolting on short lengths.



External mechanical influences on the hydraulic hose lines are avoided.

Use appropriate arrangements and fixing to prevent any scouring of the hoses on components or on each other. If necessary, secure hydraulic hose lines using protective covers. Cover sharp-edged components.



The approved bending radii may not be exceeded.



When connecting a hydraulic hose line to moving parts, the hose length must be appropriate so that the smallest approved bending radius is not undershot over the whole area of movement and/or the hydraulic hose line is not overtensioned.



Fix the hydraulic hose lines at the specified fixing points. There, avoid hose clips, which impair the natural movement and length changes of the hose.



The coating of hydraulic hose lines is not permitted.


203

13.6 Field sprayer maintenance

13.6.1 Adjusting the hydraulic throttle valve


The operating speeds for the individual hydraulic functions are set at the factory from the valve block using the respective hy-

draulic throttle valves (fold/unfold sprayer boom, lock/unlock the swing compensation, etc.). However, depending on the type of tractor, it may be necessary to correct these speed settings.

The operating speed for a hydraulic function associated with a particular throttle pair can be adjusted by screwing the hexagon socket head screw on the corresponding throttle in or out.



Reduce operating speed = screw in hexagon socket head screw.



Increase operating speed = screw out hexagon socket head screw.

Always adjust the two throttles in a throttle pair equally when correcting the operating speed of a hydraulic function.

13.6.2 Pump

13.6.2.1 Check the oil level

Ensure the correct oil level. Damage may be caused both by the oil level being too low or too high.

1. Check whether the oil level is visible at the mark (Fig. 175/1) with the pump not running and standing on a flat surface.

2. If the oil level is not visible at the mark (Fig.

175/1), remove the lid (Fig. 175/2) and top up with oil.


Fig. 174

13.6.2.2 Changing the oil



After a few operating hours, check the oil level; top up if necessary.

1. Remove the pump.

2. Remove the lid (Fig. 175/2).

3. Drain the oil.

3.1 Turn the pump on its head.

3.2 Rotate the drive shaft by hand until the used oil has all run out.

The option also exists to drain the oil from the drain plug.

However, with this procedure a slight oil residue remains in the pump; we therefore recommend the first approach.

4. Place the pump on an even surface.

5. Turn the drive shaft left and right alternately and slowly fill with new oil. The right quantity of oil has been reached when the oil is visible at the mark (Fig. 175/1).

Spray table

14.1 Spray tables for flat-fan, anti-drift, injector and airmix nozzles, spraying height 50 cm



The spray rates [l/ha] listed in the spray tables are only valid for water. To convert the spray rates given into AUS, multiply these by 0.88 and, for NP solutions, by 0.85.



Fig. 182 helps with the selection of the right nozzle type. The nozzle type is determined by



 the required atomisation characteristic (fine, medium or coarse-dropped) of the crop protection agent used for the crop protection measure.



Fig. 183 is used to

 determine the nozzle size.

 determine the required spray pressure.

 determine the required individual nozzle output for calibrating the field sprayer.

Spray table

Determining the nozzle type, nozzle size, spray pressure and individual nozzle output

1. Determine the working point for the required spray rate (200

l/ha) and the intended operational speed (8 km/h).

2. At the working point, trace a line down the table. Depending on the position of the working point, this line will run through the cells for various nozzle types.

3. Select the best nozzle type for the crop protection measure in question, with reference to the required atomisation characteristic (fine, medium or coarse-dropped).

 Nozzle choice for the example given above: type: AI or ID

4. Go to the spray table (Fig. 183).

5. In the column with the intended operational speed (8 km/h), find the required spray rate (200 l/ha) or a figure which is as close as possible to the required spray rate (in this case, for example,

195 l/ha).

6. In the line with the required spray rate (195 l/ha),

 read the nozzle sizes in question. Select a suitable nozzle size (e.g.'03').

 where the nozzle size column intersects with the selected nozzle size, read the required spray pressure (e.g. 3.7 bar).

 read the required individual nozzle output (1.3 l/min) for calibrating the field sprayer.
