Please read this operating manual before commissioning.

Keep it in a safe place for future use.

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.

2.16.9 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!



Only carry out cleaning, maintenance and repair work on the machine when

 the drive is switched off

 the tractor engine has come to a complete stop

 the ignition key has been removed

 the machine connector has been removed from the onboard computer





If the machine or parts of the machine are raised, secure them against unintentional lowering before cleaning, maintaining or repairing the machine.



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



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



Disconnect the cable to the tractor generator and battery before carrying out electrical welding work on the tractor and on attached machines.



Spare parts must meet at least the specified technical requirements of AMAZONEN-WERKE. This is ensured through the use of AMAZONE original spare parts.



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.

Product description

The field sprayer

 is intended for the transportation and application of crop protection agents (insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, etc.) in the form of suspensions, emulsions and mixtures, as well as of liquid fertilisers.

 uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure organic success, provided that all the correct adjustments are made and correct doses applied. Economical use of spraying agents and low rates of pollution are achieved.

 is intended exclusively for agricultural use, for treating field crops

Sloping terrain can be traversed as follows:



Along the contours

Direction of travel to left 15 %

Direction of travel to right 15 %



Along the gradient

Up the slope

Down the slope

15 %

Using the steering drawbar with AutoTrail control for precise tracking is prohibited if on sloping terrain. See page 72.

"Intended use" also covers:



Compliance with all the instructions in this operating manual.



Execution of inspection and maintenance work.



Exclusive use of genuine AMAZONE spare parts.

Other uses to those specified above are forbidden and shall be considered as improper.

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 in the construction of AMAZONE field sprayers are safe for liquid fertiliser.

4.9 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:

 between the tractor and field sprayer, particularly when coupling and uncoupling.

 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.

Product description

4.12 Maximum permissible application rate

The permissible application rate of the implement is limited by:

 the legally required agitator capacity.

The permissible application rate is of particular importance for materials that require a high agitating intensity.

 the technical maximum application rate of 200 l/min (without

HighFlow).

Determining the permissible application rate depending on the agitator capacity

Calculation formula for the application rate in l/min:

(The agitator capacity per minute must be 5% of the hopper volume)

Permissible application rate = Pump capacity - 0.05 x nominal tank volume

[l]

(See page 91)

Conversion of the application rate in l/ha:

(See page 49)

Example:

1. Determine the application rate per nozzle (divide the permissible application rate by the number of nozzles).

2. Read the application rate per hectare depending on the speed from the spray table (See page 230).

UG 3000, pump BP 280, Super S 24 m, 48 nozzles, 10 km/h

Permissible application rate = 240 l/min - 0,05 x 3000 l = 90 l/min

 Application rate per nozzle = 1,9 l/min

48

 Permissible application rate per hectare = 228 l/ha

Structure and function

Structure and function

The following section provides information on the machine structure and the functions of the individual components.

5.1 Functionality

Fig. 17

BAG0021.10 09.15

The piston diaphragm pump (2) draws the spray liquid from the spray liquid tank (1) via the VARIO switch tap, suction side (A), the suction line (3) and the suction filter (4). The spray liquid which is drawn up is conveyed via the pressure hose (5) to the VARIO switch tap, pressure side (B). The liquid reaches the pressure gauge via the VARIO switch tap, pressure side (B). The pressure gauge consists of the spray pressure control (6) and the self cleaning pressure filter (7). From the pressure gauge, the spray liquid is conveyed via the flow meter (8) to the part width section valves (9). The part width section valves take on the task of distributing the liquid to the individual spray lines (10).

The return flow meter (11) (control terminal only) determines the quantity of spray liquid to be conveyed back to the spray liquid tank in the case of a low application rate.

In its switched-on state, the agitator (12) ensures that the spray liquid in the spray liquid tank remains homogenous. The stirring performance of the agitator can be set at the setting tap (C- Additional agitator, G Main agitator only with UG Super).

The field sprayer is operated from the tractor via

 the AMATRON 3 control terminal (13) or

+

control terminal.

To prepare the spray liquid, fill the induction bowl (14) with the agent quantity required to fill the spray liquid tank, and draw it into the spray liquid tank.

The fresh water from the flushing water tank (15) is used for cleaning the spraying system.



When using the tracking steering drawbar, there is a risk of tipping over when performing a turning manoeuvre on a headland, and on tight bends at high speeds, due to the shifting of the centre of gravity when the steering drawbar is pushed in.



The risk of tipping over is especially great when travelling downhill on uneven ground.



Adapt your driving accordingly and reduce speed when performing a turning manoeuvre on a headland, so that you are in complete control of the tractor and trailed sprayer.

To prevent the sprayer from tipping over, observe the following general principles:



Avoid sudden, sharp turns.



Reduce speed before turning.



While turning, do not brake suddenly if still steering.



Exercise extreme caution when steering in furrows.

6.14 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 to on ears have a particularly bad effect.

6.14.1 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.



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. 106/1) 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. 106/1) per part width section.

 the DUS switchover tap (Fig. 107/1).

 the DUS pressure relief valve

(Fig. 107/2). 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 switchover tap is in position (Fig.

107/A), the pressure circulating system is switched on.

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

107/B), the pressure circulating system is switched off.

 if the DUS switchover tap is in position (Fig.

Method

Using the machine



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 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" page157.

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.

BAG0021.10 09.15

153

Using the machine



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.



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!

To prevent limescale, the degree of hardness of the water may not exceed 14°dH (German degrees of hardness)!

Using the machine

WARNING

Danger for people and animals from accidental contact with spray liquid while filling of the spray liquid tank is underway.



When filling the spray liquid tank using a mains water supply, never allow the filling hose and the contents of the spray liquid tank to come into direct contact. This is the only way to prevent spray liquid from being sucked or pushed into the mains supply.

 Secure the end of the filling hose at least 10 cm above the filling opening on the spray liquid tank. The free flow which this creates offers the absolute maximum levels of safety against the backflow of spray liquid into the mains water supply.



Avoid the formation of froth. No froth should escape from the spray liquid tank during filling. A large-cross-section funnel extending down the base of the spray liquid tank is an effective obstacle to the formation of froth.



Only fill the spray liquid tank using a used filling sieve.

The least dangerous way is to carry out filling at the side of the field from the water tank (where possible making use of the natural lie of the land). Depending on the type of spraying agent used, this type of filling is not permitted in water protection zones. Always enquire with the "low water authority".

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 control terminal/ AMASPRAY

+

.



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", Seite 227.



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

 the intended operational speed,

 the required spray rate and

 the target spray pressure.

 Refer to the section "Spray tables for flat-fan, anti-drift, injector and airmix nozzles", Seite 227.



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

 Refer to the section "Spray tables for flat-fan, anti-drift, injector and airmix nozzles", Seite 227.



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

(refer to the section "Measures for drift reduction", Seite 172.

168

BAG0021.10 09.15

Using the machine



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 (impulses per 100 m) if there are differences between the actual distance covered, and that displayed. See operating manual for software ISOBUS /

AMASPRAY

+

.



If spraying operation is interrupted due to bad weather, clean the suction filter, the pump, the valve chest and the spray lines. See page 184.



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.



If the spray pressure is increased, the spray rate also increases.



If the spray pressure is decreased, the spray rate also decreases.



If the operational speed is increased while the nozzle size and spray pressure remain constant, the spray rate decreases.



If the operational speed is decreased while the nozzle size and spray pressure remain constant, the spray rate increases.



Operational speed and pump drive speed can be selected within broad limits, owing to the automatic, area-based spray rate control via the control terminal / AMASPRAY

+

.

BAG0021.10 09.15

169

Example

Using the machine



The pump delivery capacity is dependent on the pump drive speed. Select the pump speed (between 400 and 550 rpm.) so that there is always an adequate flow rate to the sprayer boom and for the agitator. When making this choice, always take account of the fact that more spray liquid needs to be conveyed at higher operational speeds and higher spray rates.



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.



Residues in the spray liquid tank can be applied correctly up to a pressure drop of 25%.



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

10.6.1 Applying the spray liquid



Properly couple the field sprayer to the tractor.



Before starting spraying, check the following machine data on the operating terminal

 the values for the permitted spray pressure range of the spraying nozzles installed in the sprayer boom.

 the value "Pulses per 100m".



Take the appropriate action if a fault message appears on the display during spraying.



Check the indicated spray pressure during spraying operation.

Ensure that the indicated spray pressure does not deviate under any circumstances by more than

 25 % from the target spray pressure given in the spray table, e.g. by changing the spray rate using the plus/minus buttons. Larger deviations than this from the target spray pressure make it impossible to achieve the best possible results from your crop protection measure and cause pollution of the environment.

Decrease or increase the operational speed until you are back within the permissible spray pressure range for the target spray pressure.

10.6.2 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

172

BAG0021.10 09.15

10.7 Residues

Using the machine

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 112.

 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.

Disposing of residues



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 distance needed to use up this undiluted residue can be found in the section "Technical Data - spray lines", page 112. 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 compared 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.

10.8 Cleaning the field sprayer



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

The service life and reliability of the field sprayer mainly depend on the exposure time of the crop protection agent on the materials of the field sprayer.



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.



You can carry out the cleaning process in the courtyard if you have a collecting facility installed (e.g. a Biobed).

Observe all national regulations involved.

12.6 Axle and brake

For optimum brake performance with a minimum of wear, we recommend that the brakes on the tractor are balanced with those on the trailed sprayer. After the service braking system has been run in for a suitable period, arrange for the brakes to be balanced by a specialist workshop.

Have the balancing process carried out before these empirical values are reached if you discover excessive wear on the brake pads.

To avoid problems with the brakes, adjust all vehicles in accordance with EC Directive 71/320 EEC.

WARNING



Repair and adjustment work on the service braking system should only be carried out by trained specialist personnel.



Special care is required for welding, torch cutting and drilling work in the vicinity of brake lines.



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

General visual inspection

WARNING

Carry out a general visual inspection of the brake system. Observe and check the following criteria:



Pipe lines, hose lines and coupler heads must not be externally damaged or corroded.



Hinges, e.g. on fork heads, must be properly secured, easy to move, and not worn out.



Ropes and cables



must be properly run.



may not have any visible cracks.



may not be knotted.



Check the piston stroke on the brake cylinders, and adjust as necessary.



The air reservoir must not



move around in the tensioning belts.



show any outward signs of corrosion damage.

BAG0021.10 09.15

Checking the brake drum for dirt (workshop work)

1. Unscrew the two cover plates (Fig. 151/1) on the inside of the brake drum.

2. Remove any dirt and plant debris which may have entered the drum.

3. Refit the cover plates.

CAUTION

Dirt entering the drums may be deposited on the brake pads (Fig.

151/2) and thus die appreciably reduce brake performance.

Risk of accident.

If dirt is discovered in the brake drum, the brake pads must be inspected by a specialist workshop.

For this to happen, the wheel and brake drum must be removed.

Fig. 151

Checking wheel hub bearing clearance (workshop work)

To check the play on wheel hub bearings, raise the axle until the wheels turn freely. Release the brake. Place a lever between the tyre and the ground and check the play.

If bearing play can be detected:

Adjust the bearing play



Remove the dust cup or hub cap.



Remove the split pin from the axle nut.



Tighten the wheel nut while turning the wheel at the same time until the wheel hub is lightly braked as it turns.



Turn axle nut back to the next available split pin hole. To the next matching hole (max.

30°).



Fit split pin and bend slightly open.



Top up the dust cap with high melting point grease and drive it into, or screw it onto the wheel hub.

Brake adjustment

Depending on use, the wear and function of the brakes must be constantly checked and, if necessary, readjustment must be carried out. Readjustment is required after using approx. 2/3 of the max. cylinder stroke for emergency braking. To do this, jack up the axle and secure it against unintended movement.

Fig. 154

Adjustment on linkage adjuster (workshop work)

Move the linkage adjuster by hand in the pressure direction. If the free travel of the long-stroke diaphragm cylinder pressure rod is max. 35 mm, the wheel brake must be readjusted.

Adjustments are made using the readjustment hexagon bolt on the linkage adjuster. Set the free travel "a" to 10-12 % of the connected brake lever length "B", e.g. lever length 150 mm = free travel 15 – 18 mm.

Fig. 155

Adjustment on automatic linkage adjuster (workshop work)

Basic settings are made in the same way as for the standard linkage adjuster. Readjustment occurs automatically at a cam rotation of approx. 15°.

The ideal lever position (which cannot be altered owing to the attachment of the cylinder) is approx. 15° before perpendicularity, and the same in the actuation direction.

200

BAG0021.10 09.15

Checking the function of the automatic linkage adjuster

1. Remove the rubber stopper cap.

2. Slacken the adjusting screw (arrow) with a ring spanner approx. ¾ of a turn anticlockwise. There must be a free travel of at least 50 mm for a lever length of 150 mm.

3. Actuate the brake lever several times by hand. This should cause a smooth automatic readjustment; it should be possible to hear the coupling engaging and, on the back stroke, the adjusting screw should turn clockwise slightly.

4. Refit the stopper cap.

5. Lubricate with BPW ECO_Li91 special high melting point grease.

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 the 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 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.



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.

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

12.9.3 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).



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".

BAG0021.10 09.15

Cleaning, maintenance and repair

Common causes for leaking hoses / pipes and connection pieces include:

 missing O-rings or seals

 damaged or badly fitting O-rings

 brittle or deformed O-rings or seals

 badly fitting hose clips

12.9.4 Installation and removal of hydraulic hose lines

Use

 only genuine AMAZONE replacement hoses. These hoses stand up to chemical, mechanical and thermal loads.

 hose clips made from V2A for fitting hoses, as a rule.

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

 Ensure 

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.

12.9.8 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 hydraulic 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.

12.11.1 Check the oil level



Only use 20W30 branded oil or

15W40 multi purpose oil.



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



The read-off oil level can be averaged from the non-horizontal orientation of the pump in the hitch drawbar.



Foam generation and cloudy oil are signs of a faulty pump membrane.

1. Check whether the oil level is visible at the mark (Fig. 170/1) with the pump not running and standing on a flat surface.

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

170/1), remove the lid (Fig. 170/2) and top up with oil.

Fig. 170

12.11.2 Changing the oil

Cleaning, maintenance and repair
