•
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.
If you are injured by hydraulic fluid, contact a doctor immediately.

36
General safety instructions
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!
•
As a general rule, only carry out maintenance or repair work or
cleaning when
ο the drive is switched off
ο the tractor engine has come to a complete stop
ο the ignition key has been removed
ο the machine connector has been removed from the on-
board computer
•
Regularly check the nuts and bolts for firm seating and retighten
them as necessary.
•
Secure the raised machine and/or raised machine parts against
unintentional lowering before performing any cleaning, mainte-
nance or repair work on 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 at-
tached machines.
•
Only use genuine AMAZONE replacement hoses which stand up
to chemical, mechanical and thermal requirements. Only use
hose clamps made from V2A for installation.
•
Spare parts must meet at least the specified technical require-
ments of AMAZONEN-WERKE.This is ensured through the use
of genuine AMAZONE spare parts.
•
When repairing field sprayers which have been used for liquid
fertiliser application with ammonium nitrate / urea solution, ob-
serve 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 sub-
stances, 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, be-
cause the salt of the ammonium nitrate / urea solution is water-
soluble. For this reason, clean the field sprayer thoroughly with
water before carrying out repair work.

Regular device inspections
The implement underlies the European Union
universally applicable regular device inspections
(Crop Protection Directive 2009/128/EC and EN
ISO 16122).
Have the device inspected at regular intervals by
a recognised and certified inspection workshop.
The date for performing the next device inspec-
tion is written on the inspection plate on the im-
plement.

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. Las-
so, Betanal and Tramat, Stomp, Iloxan, Mudecan, Elancolan and Ter-
idox, 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 recom-
mended 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.

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 perma-
nent 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 vice-
versa 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 over-
head electricity cables, through contact with the cables.

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/min]
[l/min]
[l]
(See page 52)
(See page 50)
Conversion of the application rate in l/ha:
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 231).
Example:
UX 11200, Pump P 750, Super L 36 m, 72 nozzles, 10 km/h
Permissible application rate
=
735 l/min - 0,05 x 11200 l
= 175 l/min
→ Application rate per nozzle = 2.4 l/min
→ Permissible application rate per hectare
= 288 l/ha
