6.6

Hydraulic tilt adjustment (optional)

In unfavourable ground conditions, e.g. when there are ruts of varia-

ble 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:

See the operating manual for the operating terminal.

6.7

Distance control (optional)

The Distance Control regulating unit for the

sprayer boom automatically holds the sprayer

boom parallel at the desired distance from the

target surface.

•

DistanceControl with 2 sensors

•

DistanceControl with 4 sensors

Ultrasound sensors (Fig. 85/1) detect the dis-

tance to the ground or the crop. If the height

deviates from the desired measurement on one

side, the distance control regulates the tilt ad-

justment in order to adjust the height. If the ter-

rain 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 ap-

prox. 50 cm. When switched back on again, the

sprayer boom is lowered back to the calibrated

height.

Pressure circulating system (DUS)

Part-width section control: Pressure circulating system must generally

be switched off when using drag hoses.

The pressure circulating system

•

enables the constant circulation of liquid in

the spray line. For these purposes, a suc-

tion port hose (Fig. 98/1) 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 immedi-

Multi nozzles (optional)

When using multiple nozzle types, it is beneficial

to use multi nozzles (Fig. 88). In each case, the

nozzle pointing upwards is the one that is sup-

plied.

Turning the multi nozzles head (Fig. 88/1) anti-

clockwise brings a different nozzle into play.

The multi nozzles head is switched off in the

intermediate positions. This provides the possi-

bility of reducing the working width of the boom.

Rinse the spray lines before twisting

the multi nozzles head onto another

nozzle type.

6.10

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 P₂O₅ 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 dis-

continue nozzle-based AUS fertilisation at development stage EC-39,

because chemical burns on ears have a particularly bad effect.

6.10.1

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 dis-

tribution 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.

7 hole nozzles / FD nozzles (optional)

The same conditions apply for using 7 hole noz-

zles / 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.

Foam marker (optional)

The foam marker, 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 applications of bubbles

using the slotted screw

as follows:

ο turn clockwise - distance is increased,

ο turn anti-clockwise, - distance is decreased

Adjusting the length of the PTO shaft to the tractor

WARNING

Danger from

•

damaged and/or destroyed, flying parts for the operator /

third party if the PTO shaft is compressed or pulls apart

while the machine coupled to the tractor is being

raised/lowered, because the length of the PTO shaft has not

been adjusted properly.

•

being caught and drawn in if the PTO shaft is installed in-

correctly or if unauthorised design changes are made.

Have the length of the PTO shaft checked in all operating positions by

a specialist workshop and, if necessary, adjusted before coupling the

PTO shaft to your tractor for the first time.

Always observe the operating manual supplied with the PTO shaft

when adjusting the PTO shaft.

This adjustment of the PTO shaft applies only for the current tractor

type. You may need to readjust the PTO shaft if you couple the ma-

chine to another tractor.

WARNING

Risk of being caught and drawn in if the PTO shaft is installed

incorrectly or if unauthorised design changes are made.

Only a specialist workshop may make design changes to the PTO

shaft. When doing so, read and follow the operating manual from the

manufacturer.

Adjusting the length of the PTO shaft is permitted with consideration

of the minimum profile overlap.

Design changes to the PTO shaft that are not described in the operat-

ing manual from the PTO shaft manufacturer are not permitted.

WARNING

Risk of crushing between the rear of the tractor and the machine

when raising and lowering the machine to determine the short-

est and longest operating position of the PTO shaft.

Only actuate the operator controls for the tractor's three-point linkage

•

from the intended workstation.

•

if you are outside of the danger area between the tractor and the

machine.

Commissioning

WARNING

Risk of crushing from unintentional:

•

rolling of the tractor and the connected machine.

•

lowering of the raised machine.

Secure the tractor and machine from unintentionally starting or rolling

and secure the raised machine against unintentional lowering before

entering the danger zone between the tractor and raised machine in

order to adjust the PTO shaft.

147

Using the machine

WARNING

Danger for people and animals from accidental contact with the

spray liquid while filling the spray liquid tank!

•

Wear personal protective equipment when handling crop protec-

tion agents or dumping spray liquids from the spray liquid tank.

The type of personal protective equipment required is described

in the manufacturer's instructions, the product information, the

directions for use, the safety data sheet or the user manual for

the crop protection agent in question.

•

Never leave the field sprayer unattended while filling.

ο Never fill the spray liquid tank beyond the nominal volume.

ο When filling the spray liquid tank, never exceed the permis-

sible load of the field sprayer. Pay attention to the respec-

tive specific weight of the liquid in question.

ο While filling, keep watch on the fill level indicator to avoid

overfilling the spray liquid tank.

ο While filling the spray liquid tank, pay particular attention to

the sealed surfaces; no spray liquid must be allowed to get

into the sewerage system.

•

Before each filling, check the field sprayer for damage, e.g. for

leaking tanks and hoses, as well as for the correct positioning of

all control elements.

Using the machine

•

As it is difficult to dispose of residues in an environmentally-

friendly manner, carefully calculate the required filling quantity or

refill quantity to avoid leaving any residue at the end of the

spraying operation.

ο 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".

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 manu-

facturer.

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:

ο Clean the canister immediately after each induction of an

agent.

ο 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 machine has been fitted with an automatic filling stop, which

terminates the filling process when the requested filling quantity has

been reached.

The agitators normally remain switched on from the initial filling to the

end of the spraying operation. The instructions of the agent manufac-

turer, however, have priority.

149

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 com-

pletely the urea can dissolve.

•

Carefully wash the empty agent canisters, render them unusa-

ble, collect and dispose of them in a proper manner. Do not re-

use 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 pre-

paring 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!

High degrees of water hardness above 15° dH (German degrees of

hardness) can lead to lime deposits, which may impede the function-

ing of the implement and must be removed at regular intervals.
