Functionality

Fig. 19/...

Via the suction chest (G), suction line (2) and suction filter (3), the

spraying pump (1) sucks

•

the spray liquid from the spray liquid tank (4).

•

flushing water from the flushing water tank (5).

The flushing water serves to clean the spray system.

•

fresh water via the external suction port (6).

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 (8) to the part width section

valves (9). 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 (10)

and evacuate into the spray liquid tank.

•

directly into the spray liquid tank (4).

•

to the internal (B) or external cleaning switch tap (C).

The agitator pump (11) supplies the main agitator (12) in the spray

liquid tank. In its switched-on state, the main agitator ensures a ho-

mogeneous spray liquid in the spray liquid tank. The stirring perfor-

mance of the main agitator can be adjusted infinitely using the main

agitator setting tap (H).

rolling.

WARNING

Risk of being caught and drawn in by the unguarded PTO shaft

or due to damaged safety devices.

•

Never use the PTO shaft if the safety device is missing or dam-

aged, or without correctly using the supporting chain.

•

Before each use, check that

ο all PTO shaft protective devices are installed and fully func-

tional.

ο the clearance around the PTO shaft is sufficient in all oper-

ating positions. Insufficient clearance will result in damage

to the PTO shaft.

•

Attach the supporting chains in a way that ensures a sufficient

swivel range of the PTO shaft in all operating positions. Support-

ing chains must not become caught on machine or tractor parts.

•

Have any damaged or missing parts of the PTO shaft replaced

immediately with genuine parts from the PTO shaft manufactur-

er.

Note that only a specialist workshop may repair a PTO shaft.

•

With the machine uncoupled, place the PTO shaft in the holder

provided. This protects the PTO shaft from damage and dirt.

ο Never use the supporting chain of the PTO shaft to sus-

pend the uncoupled PTO shaft.

Filter equipment

•

Use all the filters provided with the filter equipment. Clean the

filters regularly (refer to the "Cleaning" section, page 188). Fault-

free field sprayer operation can only be achieved by correct filter-

ing 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.

Operating terminal

The operating terminal permits:

•

input of machine-specific data.

•

entering the job-related data.

•

controlling the field sprayer to change the spray rate used in

spraying operation.

•

the operation of all functions on the sprayer boom.

•

activating special functions.

•

monitoring the field sprayer during the spraying operation.

The control terminal controls a job computer. Here, the job computer

receives all necessary information and manages the area-based

regulation of the spray rate [l/ha] depending on the quantity (target

quantity) entered and the current operational speed [km/h].

Unlocking the swing compensation:

Even lateral distribution can only be achieved with the swing compen-

sation unlocked.

After the sprayer boom is fully folded out, actuate the operating lever

for another 5 seconds.

→ The swing compensation (Fig. 76/1) unlocks and the unfolded

sprayer boom can swing free opposite the boom frame.

Locking the swing compensation:

ο For road transport

ο When folding the boom out and in.

Folding via the tractor control unit: the swing compensation locks au-

tomatically before the boom folds in.

Construction and function of the sprayer boom

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

locking mechanism enables the outer boom sec-

tion to avoid collision by moving around the ar-

ticulated axle in and against the direction of trav-

el; it is then automatically returned to its working

position.

Spacer

The spacer prevents collisions of the boom with

the ground.

When using certain nozzles, the spacers are

within the spray cone.

In this case, attach the spacers horizontally on

the carrier.

Use thumb bolts.

Unlocking and locking the transport safety catch

WARNING

Risk of crushing and impact for other road users if the boom

accidentally unfolds from the transport position during road

transport.

Lock the folded boom package in the transport position using the

transport safety catch before undertaking road transport.

The transport safety bows are for securing the

folded sprayer boom against accidental unfolding

while in transport position.

Unlocking the transport safety catch

Before unfolding the sprayer boom, swivel the

transport safety bows upwards, thereby unlock-

ing the sprayer boom (Fig. 80/A).
