READING THE INSTRUCTION
manual and adhering to it should not appear to be inconvenient and superfluous as it is not enough to hear from others and to realise that a machine is good, to buy it and to believe that now everything should work by itself. The person con-cerned would not only harm himself but also make the mistake of blaming the machine for the reason of a possible failure instead of himself. In order to ensure good success one should go into the mind of a thing, make himself familiar with every part of the machine and to get acquainted with its handling. Only in this way would you be satisfied both with the machine as also with yourself. To achieve this is the purpose of this in-struction manual.

2.16.9 Field sprayer operation
• Observe the recommendations on the crop protection agent manufacturer regarding
ο Protective clothing
ο Warning notices when handling crop protection agents
ο Metering, application and cleaning recommendations
• Observe the recommendations of the Crop Protection Law!
• Never turn on hoses when they are under pressure!
• You should only use original AMAZONE replacement hoses, which can cope with the chemical, mechanical and thermal stresses. Always use hose clamps made from stainless steel/V2A!
• Repair work inside the spray tank should be started only after thorough cleaning and when wearing a protective breathing mask. For safety reasons, a second person should observe the work from outside the tank!
• The following should be noted when repairing sprayers which have been used for liquid fertilizing with Ammonium Nitrate Urea solutions:
Residue of Ammonium-Nitrate-Urea solutions can produce salt through the evaporation of the water both outside and inside the machine. Thus, pure Ammonium Nitrate and urea are devel-oped. In pure form, Ammonium Nitrate in conjunction with an or-ganic material, e. g. urea, can explode if critical temperatures are reached during repair operations (e. g. welding, grinding, filing).
The salt of the Ammonium Nitrate Urea solution is water-soluble, i. e. this danger is precluded by thoroughly washing down the machine or the part to be repaired with water. Therefore, before starting any repair work, thoroughly clean the machine with wa-ter!
• When filling the tank do not exceed the nominal volume!
Important!
• When handling spraying agents, always wear correct pro-tective clothing such as gloves, overalls, protective glasses etc!
• In tractor cabs with ventilation fans, replace the fresh air filters with active carbon filters!
• Consider the compatibility of spraying agents and materials of the field sprayer!
• Do not spray any materials which tend to glue or to solidify!
• For the protection of people, animals and the environment, crop sprayers must never be filled from open sources!
• Crop sprayers may only be filled with a free falling stream of water from the public water mains!

4.5 Caution when using specific crop protection agents
At the date of manufacture of this filed sprayer only a few crop protec-tion agents are known to cause potential damage to materials used on the field sprayer.
We would like to point out that the following crop protection agents, for example, known as, Lasso, Betanal and Tramat, Stomp, Iloxan, Mudecan, Elancolan and Teridox may cause damage to pump dia-phragms, hoses, spray lines and the tank if exposed for a prolonged period of time (20 hours) to such agents. There may be other crop protection agents that could cause damage and this list may not be considered exhaustive.
Care should also be shown when doing non-permissible mixtures of two or more different crop protection agents.
Materials which tend to freeze or adhere may not be used for spray-ing.
When spraying such aggressive crop protection agents, it is recom-mended that you apply them onto the field immediately after mixing them with water and then carefully clean the entire system with water.
Viton diaphragms are available as spare parts for the pump. These Viton diaphragms are resistant to solvents containing crop protection agents. Their longevity, however, is limited when they are used at low temperatures (e.g. AUS at frost temperatures).
The materials and components used for AMAZONE field sprayers are safe for liquid fertiliser.
4.6 Danger areas
Within these areas, there is always danger, and dangerous situations may arise at any time unexpectedly. Safety symbols identify these danger areas. Here safety notices particularly apply. Please refer to chapter "General safety notices", page 18.
The following are considered danger areas:
• between tractor and sprayer, particularly when hitching or un-hitching and when filling the tank.
• within the operational range of moving parts.
• when climbing on to the machine.
• in the swivel range of the sprayer booms.
• inside the spray tank due to poisonous fumes.
• under elevated, non-secured machines or machine parts.
• when folding in and out the sprayer boom in the area of high voltage lines, which could be touched by the boom.

The basic weight is produced from the sum of the weights on page 44 - on page 48.
Payload = permissible total weight – basic weight
Product description
44 UG BAG0021.0 10.05
Caution!
Exceeding the permissible payload is prohibited. Exceeding the payload would cause the load capacity of the tyres to be ex-ceeded at an impermissible level. This would cause unstable driving situations.
Carefully determine the payload and thereby the permissible filling of your machine. Not all filling material allows you to com-pletely fill the tank.

(2) Control box SKS with machine cable and unit connector for the control box.
(3) not assigned
(4) Regulating nut for setting the overpressure valve (at factory Pmax = 10 bar).
(5) Simple tap for supply line of tank preclean-ing nozzles.
(6) Simple tap for external washing system (optional).
(7) Self-cleaning pressure filter
(8) Stage tap for the hydraulic agitator.
(9) not assigned
(10) Switch tap for the supply of the volumetric remote control.
Caution!
Only close the switch tap if the stir-ring of the hydraulic agitator when mixing the spray liquid is to be in-creased.
(11) Volumetric remote control.
(12) Motor valves for boom part width sections. Individual boom part width sections are switched on and off via the motor valves. The motor valves are actuated either indi-vidually via the boom part width section switches or jointly via the central sprayer boom on/off control at the control box.
(13) Knurled screw for adjusting the volumetric remote control before initial use and upon each nozzle change.
(14) Volumetric remote control return flow. When a boom part width section is switched off, the spray liquid otherwise directed to this boom part width section flows back to the suction line without the spraying pressure increasing.
(15) Boom part width section return flow. Serves for pressure relief; with the sprayer boom switched off, the residual pressure of the spray liquid in the sprayer boom decreases via this return flow, thus ensuring drip-free switching off of the nozzles in conjunction with the diaphragm valves in the nozzles.

5.5 Operator terminal AMATRON+
Via the terminal AMATRON+
(Fig. 17) the operator can:
• enter machine-specific data.
• enter machine order related data.
• access the field sprayer to change the spray rate during spraying process.
• control all functions on the sprayer booms.
• control the special functions.
• monitor the field sprayer during the spraying process.
The AMATRON+ accesses the machine
computer. The machine computer thereby re-ceives all necessary information and takes over the area-related control of the spray rate [l/ha] depending on the entered spray rate (required rate) and the actual forward speed [k.p.h].
The AMATRON+ determines:
• The actual forward speed in [k.p.h].
• Actual spray rate in [l/ha] or [l/min].
• The remaining distance in [m] until the spray tank has been sprayed empty
• The actual spray tank-contents in [l].
• The spraying pressure.
• The PTO shaft speed (only with signal socket and NE 629).
The AMATRON+ stores for a started order:
• The sprayed daily and total amount of the spray liquid [l].
• The worked daily and total area in [ha].
• The daily and total spraying period in [h].
• the average operational output in [ha/h].].
AMATRON+ consists of the main menu and
the additional 4 sub menus order, machine data, setup and operation.

5.6 Spraycontrol II A
Mount the "Spraycontrol II A" directly on the control box. The respec-tive computer controls the area-related spray rate [l/ha] depending on the selected spray rate and current forward speed. For this purpose, the electric motor for spraying pressure adjustment is automatically activated by the computer via the control box.
The following are determined or stored:
• the current travel speed [km/h]
• the current spray rate in [l/ha] or [l/min].
• the actual spray rate and total quantity [l].
• worked area [ha], total area [ha].
• distance travelled [km].
• Tractor working time, sprayer working time and driver working time [h].
• the average performance [ha/h].

5.7 Agitators
5.7.1 Hydraulic intensive agitator
Fig. 18/...
(1) Stage tap for the hydraulic intensive agita-tor. 6 stirring stages can be set "0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5". In stirring stage "0" the agitator is switched off. The highest stirring capacity is in stirring stage "5". Depending on pump equipment, set work stirring stage "1 or 2".
Fig. 18
Caution!
When spraying, always work with the stirring stage selected for the spraying pressure setting. If the stirring stage is changed during spraying, the set spraying pressure, and therefore the spray rate, (l/ha) will also change. If during spraying there is a stirring stage change, the spraying pressure should be adjusted accordingly.
Travelling to the field with agitator engaged:
1. Switch off the sprayer boom.
2. Switch on the universal joint shaft.
3. Set the required stirring stage.
Important!
If this stirring stage differs from the stirring stage used for spray-ing pressure setting, switch back the stirring stage before start-ing spraying.
When stirring the spray liquid, observe the instructions of the spraying agent manufacturer!
5.7.2 Fill-level-dependent automatic agitator (only for pump equipment "370 to 460l/min"
The stirring capacity of the fill-level-dependent automatic agitator is set automatically depending on the spray liquid tank fill level, i.e. lower fill level - lower stirring capacity and higher fill level - greater stirring capacity. This ensures that the stirring capacity is always appropriate and pre-vents the formation of foam.
Note!
To increase the stirring capacity when the spray liquid tank is not completely full, stop the float in position "B".

5.8 Pump equipment 210, 250, 370, 410, 420 and 460 l/min
These pumps (Fig. 20) are piston diaphragm pumps with delivery capacities of 210 and 250 l/min. 370, 410, 420, and 460 l/min can be achieved through the combination of two pumps. All components which come into contact with spraying agents are made from injection moulded plastic coated aluminium or entirely from plastic. As far as we are aware these pumps are suitable for the application of all commercially available crop protection agents and liquid fertiliser.
Note!

5.9 Running gear and tyres
Danger!
Read the chapter "Safety recommendation for the operator", on page 25.
The permissible total weight and the forward speed are determined by
• the type of axle (unbraked or braked).
• the tyres, on page 43.
5.9.1 Running gear with unbraked axle
The following restrictions result for machines with unbraked axle:
• Permissible forward speed 25 km/h
• Permissible total weight Total 3000 kg
5.9.2 Running gear with braked axle
The axle is supplied with two independently functioning brake sys-tems (service brake system and parking brake).
The service brake system is
• a dual circuit air brake system with either a manually adjustable brake pressure regulator or
• a hydraulic brake.
The applied parking brake works independently from the service brake system and secures the uncoupled machine against uninten-tional rolling.
5.9.2.1 Dual circuit air brake system

Important!
Adjust the volumetric remote control with each nozzle change.
(Not required with "TG" control)
Note!
The spraying pressure and diameter of the nozzle opening influ-ence the drip size and the liquid volume ejected. The greater the spraying pressure, the smaller the droplet diameter. Smaller droplets are more susceptible to an undesired drift!

5.18.2 Multiple nozzles
When using different nozzles types the use of multiple nozzles shaped as a triple nozzle head (Fig. 50
) is advantageous. The vertically positioned noz-zle is fed.
By turning the triple nozzle head (Fig. 50
/1) counter-clockwise another nozzle is put into operation.
The triple nozzle body is switched off in the in-termediate positions. This allows a reduction of the sprayer boom working width.
Important!
Flush the spray lines with flushing water, before turning the triple noz-zle body to another nozzle type.

From the tractor cab the boundary nozzle switching allows to switch off electrically the last nozzle and to switch on electrically one bound-ary nozzle 25 cm further outwards (accurately on the edge of the field).

From the tractor cab, two or three of the outer nozzles are electrically switched on at the edge of the fields near open waters.
5.19 Options for the application of liquid fertiliser
At present there are mainly two different kinds of liquid fertiliser avail-able:
• Ammonium Nitrate-Urea-Solvents (AUS) with 28 kg N per 100 kg AUS.
• An NP solution 10-34-0 with 10 kg N and 34 kg P2O
5 per 100 kg
NP-solution.
Important!
If the liquid fertiliser is applied by flat fan nozzles, multiply the corresponding values from the spraying chart for the rate l/ha at AUS with 0.88 and at NP-solutions with 0.85 as the mentioned rates in l/ha only apply to pure water.
The following principle applies:
Apply liquid fertilisers only in coarse droplets to avoid scorching of crops. If the droplets are too large they will roll off the leaf and too small droplets would enforce the magnifying glass effect. Also too high application rates may cause scorching of the leaves - due to the salt concentration of the fertiliser.
Basically no higher rates of liquid fertiliser should be applied as e. g. 40 kg/N (please refer also to "Conversion table for the spraying of liquid fertilisers"). AUS-refertilising via nozzles should in any case be terminated in the growth stage 39 as otherwise scorching the ears would result in considerable damage.

86 UG BAG0021.0 10.05
5.19.1.1 3-ray nozzles
If the liquid fertiliser predominantly is to be absorbed by the roots in-stead of the leaves of the crop the use of the 3-ray-nozzles is to be preferred.
An integrated metering aperture inside the nozzle produces a nearly pressureless, coarse droplet distribution of the liquid fertiliser via three openings. This helps to prevent the production of an undesirable spraying mist and the production of small droplets. The coarse drop-lets produced by the 3-ray nozzle rain gently on the crops and roll off its surface. Even though scorching damage is thereby avoided as far as possible the 3-ray nozzles should not be used for late top dressing and instead drag hoses should be used.
For the following listed 3-ray nozzles the black bayonet nuts should be used exclusively.
Various 3-ray nozzles and their application.

5.19.1.2 5- and 8-hole-nozzles
Preconditions for the use of the 5- and 8-hole nozzles are the same as for the 3-ray nozzles. Contrary to the 3-ray nozzles the jet openings at the 5- and 8-hole nozzle (Fig. 52) are not di-rected downwards but sideways. This results in the production of very large droplets raining even more gently on the crops.
Note!
● The dosing discs determine thespray rates [l/ha].

6.1.5 First fitting and matching the PTO shaft
Important!
• Prior to the initial hitching, match the PTO shaft length to the tractor, if necessary.
ο Please observe the operator's manual of the PTO shaft manufacturer.
ο This PTO shaft adjustment is only valid for this tractor type. When changing the tractor, you should match the length of the PTO shaft again.
Fit the PTO shaft halves on the tractor's univer-sal joint shaft connection and the universal joint shaft stub of the bulk fertiliser spreader in the specified direction of installation (see symbol on the PTO shaft), but do not insert the PTO shaft tubes into each other!
Fig. 74/...
(1) By holding the two PTO shaft tubes next to one another check whether the PTO shaft tubes overlap by min. A = 150 mm when driving in straight direction and in cur-ves.
(2) In the inserted position the PTO shaft tubes must not touch the yokes of the universal joints. It must be noted that the PTO shaft is shortened during braking if the bulk fertil-iser spreader is equipped with an overrun brake. Ensure a safety distance of min. 10 mm.
(3) To match the PTO shaft halves hold them in shortest operational position next to one another and mark them.
(4) Shorten inner and outer guard tube equally.
(5) Shorten inner and outer profile tube by the same amount.
(6) Round off the cut edges and carefully re-move any metal filings.
(7) Apply grease to the sliding profiles and slide them into each other.
(8) The guard tubes of the PTO shaft are sup-plied with fixing chains which have to bevfixed on the tractor and on the machine. The safety chains prevent the guard tubes from spinning at the running PTO shaft. Hook the fixing chains into the supplied ho-les in such a way that a sufficient manoeu-vrability is ensured in all operational posi-tions and that the guard tubes to not spin during operation.

Note!
For use of the steering drawbar, open the ball valve on the hy-draulic cylinder!
10.1 Preparing spraying process
Important!
• The prerequisite for the proper application of crop protec-tion agents is a trouble-free operation of the field sprayer. The field sprayer should be regularly checked on the test bed. Remedy any faults immediately.
• Use all designed filters. Clean all filters regularly. The trou-ble-free operation of the field sprayer is only achieved by a perfect filtering of the spraying agent. The perfect filtering has a considerable effect on the success of the crop protec-tion measure.
• Observe the permissible combinations of filters or of the mesh widths. The mesh widths of the self cleaning pressure filter and of the nozzle filters should always be smaller than the nozzle opening of the nozzles used.
ο The mesh width of the pressure filter insert of the self cleaning pressure filter fitted as standard is 0.3 mm at a mesh number of 50 mesh/inch. This pressure filter in-sert is suitable for nozzle sizes from '03'.
ο For '02' nozzles the 80 mesh/inch pressure filter insert is required (optional).
ο For '015' and '01' nozzles the 100 mesh/inch pressure filter insert is required (optional).
ο Please note that the use of pressure filter inserts with 80 or 100 mesh/inch may cause agent filtering off with some crop protection agents. If necessary contact the crop protection agent manufacturer.
Please refer to on page 64.
Use of the machine
UG BAG0021.0 10.05 119
• Always clean the field sprayer before spraying another crop protection agent.
• Flush the nozzle pipe
ο at every nozzle change.
ο before fitting other nozzles.
ο before turning the triple nozzle head on to another noz-zle.
• For this, see the section on "Cleaning", on page 141.
10.2 Preparing the spray liquid
Warning!
Always wear protective gloves and the proper protective cloth-ing! The highest risk to be contaminated by the spraying agent occurs when mixing the spraying agents.
Important!
• In addition to the generally applicable instructions listed here, note the product-specific procedures described in the crop protection agent application instructions.
• See the application instructions for the crop protection a-gent for the specified water and preparation quantities.
• Read the application instructions of the crop protection agent and note the safety measures!
• We recommend that you visit our website at www.Wirkstoffmanager.de on the Internet. Here you can calculate your filling and refilling quantities using a soft-ware.
• Carefully determine the required filling or re-filling quantity to avoid residual quantities at the end of the spraying proc-ess because environmentally friendly disposal of residual quantities is difficult.
ο To calculate the required refilling quantity for the last spray liquid tank filling, use the "Filling table for resid-ual areas". To do this, deduct the technical, undiluted residual quantity from the spray rod from the calcu-lated filling quantity!
For this see chapter "Filling table for residual areas", on page 122.
• Flush spraying agent containers which have been carefully emptied (e.g. by the can washing device) and pour the flush-ing water into the spray liquid!
Procedure
1. The instructions on the spraying agents provide you with the necessary information about the water and spraying agent quan-tities.
2. Determine the filling or refilling amounts for the area to be trea-ted.
3. Fill spray tank half with water.
4. Switch on the agitator.
Use of the machine

5. Add the calculated quantity of the spraying agent.
6. Top up the missing water quantity.
7. Agitate the spray liquid according to the spraying agent manu-facturer's instructions before spraying.
10.2.1 Calculating the filling or refilling quantities
Important!
To determine the required refilling amount for the last spray tank filling use the "Filling table for residual areas" on page 122.
Example 1:
Known data:
Nominal tank volume 1000 l
Residue in tank 0 l
Required amount of water 400 l/ha
Spraying agent requirement per ha
Agent A 1.5 kg
Agent B 1.0 l
Question:
How many litres of water, how many kg of agent A and how many litres of agent B are required for an area of 2.5 ha to be sprayed?
Reply
Water: 400 l/ha x 2.5 ha = 1000 l
Agent A: 1.5 kg/ha x 2.5 ha = 3.75 kg
Agent B: 1.0 l/ha x 2.5 ha = 2.5 l
Example 2:
Known data:
Nominal tank volume 3000 l
Residue in tank 200 l
Required amount of water 400 l/ha
Recommended concentration 0.15 %
Question 1:
How many litres or kg spraying agent must be used for one tank fill-ing?
Question 2:
What is the size in hectares of the area to be treated which can be sprayed with one tank filling when the tank can be emptied up to a residue quantity of 20 litres?

10.2.2 Filling table for remaining field areas
Important!
To determine the required refilling amount for the last spray tank filling use the "Filling table for residual areas". Deduct the resi-due amount in the spray line from the calculated refilling quan-tity. For this see chapter "Spray lines" on page 49.
Note!
The indicated refilling quantities are valid for an application rate of 100 l/ha. For all other spray rates the refilling quantity has to be increased by a multiple.

For all other spray rates the refilling quantity has to be increased by a multiple.
Example
Remaining distance (travel):
100 m
Spray rate 100 l/ha
Working width 12 m
The theoretical spray liquid quantity to be added for this example is 12 l.
Subtract the residue of the sprayer boom from the theoretical spray liquid to be added. For a 12 m boom with 5-fold boom feed, this resi-due is 4 l, so the actual refill quantity to be added is only 8 l.

UG BAG0021.0 10.05 123
10.3 Filling with water
Important!
When filling, observe the permissible payload of your fieldsprayer. When filling your field sprayer bear in mind the differentspecific weights [kg/l] of the individual liquids.
Caution!
When filling the suction port (chapter on page 89) always open the lid of the spray liquid tank!
Specific weights of the individual liquids
Liquid Water Urea AUS NP-solution
Density [kg/l] 1 1.11 1.28 1.38
Important!
• Before filling, check the field sprayer, e.g. for leaking tanks and hoses and for correct position of all control elements.
• During the filling procedure never leave the field sprayer unattended.
• Ensure that there is never a direct connection between the filling hose and the spray liquid inside the tank so that a back suction of spray liquid into the water supply network is prevented.
• Attach the end of the filling hose at minimum 20 cm above the filling opening of the spray tank. The resulting free run out provides the best safety possible to prevent the spray-ing agent from flowing back into the pipe circuit.
• Avoid the formation of foam. When filling do not allow foam to escape from the tank. A funnel with large diameter which reaches right down to the spray tank bottom effectively pre-vents the formation of foam.
• Fill the spray tank only with inserted filling sieve.
Note!
The preferred method of filling is on the edge of the field from a bowser (if possible make use of natural height differences). De-pending on the spraying agent used this type of filling may not be permitted in water protection zones. In any case check with the local authorities.
Use of the machine
124 UG BAG0021.0 10.05
1. Determine the exact water fill quantity (see on page 120.
2. For the UG Nova machines, fill the spray liquid (Fig. 89/1) and flushing water tanks (Fig. 89/2) via the filling opening (Fig. 89/3) or (Fig. 89/4) with a water pipe pre-venting backflow.
Important!
Fill the spray liquid tank only using the filling sieve (Fig. 90/1).
3. Read off the tank content at the pointer on the scale (Fig. 91/1) of the filling level indi-cator (Fig. 91/2).

10.4 Inducting spraying agents
Danger!
• For inducting spraying agents wear the protective clothing specified by the crop protection agent manufacturer!
Note!
• Usually the agitator remains engaged from when it is filled to when the spraying process is completed. Please adhere to the recommendation of the agent manufacturers.
• If the urea filter (optional) is fitted in the tank sump, the urea quantity intended for filling the tank can be poured into the tank directly via the filling opening.
Important!
• Put water-soluble plastic bags directly into the spray liquid tank while the agitator is engaged.
Induct the spraying agent via the induction bowl (Fig. 94/1) into the water of the spray liquid tank. A distinction is made here between the inducting of liquid and powdery agents or urea.
Fig. 94
Empty spraying agent containers
Important!
• Carefully flush empty spraying agent containers, make them no longer usable, collect them and dispose of them in the appropriate manner. Never use them for other purposes.
• If there is only one spray liquid available for flushing the agent tank, use it for a pre-cleaning. Conduct the careful cleaning when clear water is available, e.g. before preparing the next spray tank-filling or when diluting the residue of the last spray tank-filling.

10.5 Spraying crop protection liquid
Note!
• Before the start of the season and, for example, before each nozzle change, check the application of the sprayer by cali-bration (see the section "Calibrating the crop protection sprayer")!
• With 3 m/s wind speed, take additional measures to prevent drifting (see section on "Measures against drifting")! With average wind speeds above 5 m/s, cease treatment (leaves and twigs move).
• Do not select a forward speed greater than 8 km/h! First, in order not to subject the boom to excessive mechanical strain, and, secondly, in order not to affect the evenness of the spreading on account of strong relative wind.
• Avoid excessive dosing (caused by overlapping in event of the inaccurate course of a spraying track after turning and/or curves at the headland with sprayer boom switched on)!
• To accurately achieve the agent spray rate (l or kg/ha) speci-fied in the instructions for use of the crop protection agent, keep exactly to the specified liquid spray rate [l/ha] during spraying.
• Switch the sprayer boom on and off only during travel.
• Control box: Keep exactly to the tractor gear preselected for the spraying pressure setting and the stirring stage during the spraying procedure, as otherwise there will be devia-tions from the desired spray rate.
• During the spraying process constantly check the spray liquid consumption in relation to the treated area.
• If the spraying pressure drops significantly, the tank is emp-ty. If under otherwise unaltered conditions the spraying pressure drops, either the suction or the pressure filter is blocked.
• All rates [l/ha] were determined with water. Multiply the rele-vant values with AUS by 0.88 and with NP solutions by 0.85.
1. Mix up the spray liquid according to instructions and agitate ac-cording to instructions from the spraying agent manufacturer.
2. Fold out the sprayer booms.
3. Set the height of the spray boom (height between the nozzles and the crop) according to the spraying table referring to the nozzles used.
4. Set the required stirring stage.
5. Read off at the tractor meter which tractor gear would be suitable for a forward speed of 6 to max. 8 km/h. Using the manual ac-celerator lever, keep the tractor engine speed constant, taking into consideration the pump drive speed (min. 350 rpm and max. 550 rpm).
6. Set the specified liquid spray rate at the computer or, with "NG" units, via the spraying pressure.
7. Select the suitable tractor gear and start moving. Keep exactly to the specified forward speed during spraying.
8. Switch on spraying.
Use of the machine
UG BAG0021.0 10.05 131
10.5.1 Information for automatic dosing
Control box:
Travel-speed-dependent dosing is achieved within a tractor gear. This means that, if the tractor engine speed drops, e.g. due to a slope in the terrain, not only the forward speed but also the tractor PTO shaft speed, and hence the pump drive speed also drops by the same a-mount.
This alters the pump delivery volume by the same amount and the desired spray rate [l/ha] remains constant - within one tractor gear. At the same time, the set spraying pressure is also changed.
Note!
To achieve optimum efficiency of the spray liquid being applied and to prevent unnecessary environmental damage, the spraying pressure must be kept within the appropriate range for the noz-zle used (see spray table).
Example:
If the set spraying pressure is e.g. 3.2 bar, spraying pressures be-tween 2.4 and 4.0 bar are permissible. Here, it is essential to observe the permissible pressure range of the nozzles installed.
Important!
When increasing forward speed, do not exceed the maximum permissible pump drive speed of 550 rpm!
10.5.2 Work range of the control units
Pressure: 1 to 7 bar
Flow rate: 6 to 220 l/min.
Universal joint shaft speed: 300 to 540 rpm.
Max. deviation from set
spray volume: +/- 5 %
Permissible speed fluctuation within a tractor gear
+/- 12 %
Permissible pressure fluctuation from set spraying pressure:
+/- 25 %
Use of the machine
132 UG BAG0021.0 10.05
10.5.3 Measures to prevent drifting
• Choose the early morning or the evening for the treatment (usu-ally less wind).
• Choose larger nozzles and higher water rates.
• Decrease spraying pressure.
• Maintain the correct boom operational height as the danger of drift increases with increased nozzle spacing.
• Reduce the forward speed (to below 8 km/h).
• Fit nozzles with a high proportion of coarse droplets, such as so-called anti-drift (AD) nozzles or injector (ID) nozzles (nozzles with a high percentage of coarse droplets)
• Observe the distance requirements for the relevant crop protec-tion agents.
10.5.4 Setting the liquid spray rate [l/ha]
• The liquid spray rate is dependent on:
ο the liquid discharged from the nozzles [l/min]. Nozzle size and spraying pressure influence the nozzle output.
Determine the required spraying pressure from the spray table - taking into consideration the nozzle size and type.
Important!
Increasing the spraying pressure increases the nozzle output, reducing the spraying pressure reduces the nozzle output.
Note!
Selection of the suitable nozzle depends on the required liquid spray rate.
ο the forward speed [km/h]. It is essential to check the ac-tual forward speed of the tractor over a calibration distance.
For this, see on page 134 - "Checking actual tractor forward speed").
The spray tables provide useful information on settings for nozzle selection and spraying pressure basic settings. Check the settings as specified in the tables by calibrating the sprayer with water (see on page 167.).
10.5.4.1 Determining the spraying pressure
1. Find the correct spray table, taking into consideration nozzle type and size.
2. Find the required liquid spray rate and read off the spraying pressure.
Important!
• Choose a slow forward speed and a low spraying pressure to avoid drifting loss!
• The greater the spraying pressure, the smaller the droplet diameter. Smaller droplets are more susceptible to an unde-sired drift!
Use of the machine
UG BAG0021.0 10.05 133
10.5.4.2 Setting the spraying pressure
1. Set the spray rate via the computer or with the "NG" unit via the spraying pressure.
2. On/Off (Fig. 104/1) for power supply to posi-tion "I" (ON).
3. Switch (Fig. 104/2) for switching on/off cen-tral spray boom to position "0" (OFF).
4. Set required stirring stage of hydraulic agi-tator.
5. Switch on the universal joint shaft.
6. Read off at the tractor meter which tractor gear would be suitable for a forward speed of 6 to max. 8 km/h. Using the manual ac-celerator lever, hold the tractor engine speed constant taking into consideration the pump drive speed (350 to 550 rpm).
7. With use of an "NG" unit, set the spraying pressure taken from the spray table via the ± button (Fig. 104/3) on the spraying pres-sure display (Fig. 104/4).
8. With use of a "TG" unit, enter the desired value in the computer.
9. Determine the actual nozzle output [l/min] and, if it deviates from the desired nozzle output, alter the spraying pressure accord-ingly.
Fig. 104
Important!
• If under otherwise unaltered conditions the spraying pres-sure drops, clean the suction or pressure filter!
• For use with the "NG" unit, the correctly set volumetric remote control is the precondition for the correct spraying pressure setting.

10.6 Determining the actual tractor forward speed
0 100 m
1. On the field, measure a calibration distance of exactly 100 m. Mark the beginning and end points.
2. Read off at the tractor meter which tractor gear would be suitable for a forward speed of 6 to max. 8 km/h. Using the manual ac-celerator lever, keep the tractor engine speed constant, taking into consideration the pump drive speed (min. 350 rpm and max. 550 rpm).
3. Drive through the calibration distance with a "flying start" from the start to the end at the preselected, constant forward speed measured at the tractor meter. For this purpose, use a stopwatch to determine the time required.
4. On the basis of the time determined for driving through the cali-bration distance (100 m), read off the actual forward speed from the table below.

10.7 Practical use with "Spraycontrol II A"
The control units are delivered ready for operation. Before working on the field, program the "Spraycontrol II A" in accordance with the re-spective installation and operating instructions. The specified "Imp./l" on the flow meter has already been deter-mined at the factory; this value is already stored in the computer (in addition, the "Imp./l" value is written on the housing of the flow meter). If, however, the "Imp./l" is not known, calibrate the flow meter (see on page 173.)
Before use, enter the machine-specific data in the "machine data block" (see also the installation and operating instructions for "Spray-control II A".
Observe the following operation procedure:
1. Attach the machine to the tractor.
2. Connect the machine cable to the control box.
3. Mount the "Spraycontrol II A" on the control box.
Important!
When mounting the "Spraycontrol II A" on the control box, set the On/Off switch for the power supply of "the Spraycontrol II A" to position "0".
4. Switch on the "Spraycontrol II A".
The type of machine is automatically identified via the machine connector and the "Field sprayer" program is automatically se-lected with the machine data already entered.
5. Enter order-specific data in the "order data block".
5.1 Enter the name (lot designation, customer designation).
5.2 Enter or check the "Spray rate specified value".
5.3 Enter comments.
Important!
Name and comments need not necessarily be entered. However, the specified value should always be checked.
6. From "order data block" via key "T2" direct to the "work data block".
7. Start the order in the "work data block" via key "T2".
8. During the spraying procedure, all the functions of the on-board computer key pad can be selected, including those of the pocket calculator. Referenced to the entered spray rate specified value, the rate can be altered in 10-% increments via the "±10 %" key.
9. The order is completed and stored by pressing key "T2" (end). The data on the worked area, work time, spray output etc. for the order carried out are stored.
For a new order, the work memory is automatically reset to "0". The new order number is issued automatically and the operation procedure starts again.

136 UG BAG0021.0 10.05
10.7.1 Special remarks on practical use
On account of the automatic area-related control, the forward speed and pump drive speed are freely selectable within a wide range.
The pump delivery rate is, in turn, dependent on its drive speed. Se-lect the pump drive speed (between 350 and 550 rpm) so that there is always a sufficient flow to the sprayer boom and for operation of the hydraulic agitator. That means that at a high forward speed and a high spray rate more spray liquid must be supplied than at a lower forward speed and with a lower spray rate.
Before starting the spraying, select the closer forward speed and spraying pressure range from the spray table, taking into considera-
tion the nozzle size and the desired spray rate (specified value).
If, at high forward speed and low pump drive speed, the desired spe-cified spray rate is not achieved, a fault message appears on the dis-play and an acoustic alarm signal is emitted at the same time. To remedy this, reduce the forward speed and increase the pump drive speed.
Note!
During spraying, ensure that the spraying pressure never devi-ates by more than +/- 25 % from the targeted spraying pressure.
Example:
If the targeted spraying pressure is e.g. 3.2 bar, all spraying pressures between 2.4 and 4.0 bar are permissible.
Important!
To ensure optimum crop treatment and to reduce environmental damage, do not deviate from the permissible pressure range specified for the nozzles installed in the sprayer boom. For ex-ample, the pressure range for nozzle size '05' is from 1.0 to 5.0 bar.
With the control units "NG" and "TG", monitor the permissible spraying pressure of the nozzles installed in the sprayer boom manu-ally at the pressure gauge.
With the "digital pressure display" option, the spraying pressure of the nozzles installed in the sprayer boom is monitored and displayed at the SKS.
Important!
When spraying with only 1 boom part width section, it is neces-sary to switch to "manual operation" at the control box.
10.7.2 The tank content is now only approx. 100 l
1. Set the program switch from "Auto" to "Manual operation" when the tank content is only approx. 100 l.
Important!
Set the program switch from "Auto" to "Manual operation" when the tank content is only approx. 100 l.
2. When using a new tank filling, set the program switch back to "Auto".

10.8.1 Removal of residues
Proceed as follows:
1. Set the central sprayer boom On/Off switch to position 0.
2. Switch on the hydraulic agitator.
3. Switch on the nozzles for tank precleaning via the simple tap.
4. Set the reverse tap (Fig. 105/1) to the "Flushing" position.
5. Switch on the universal joint shaft.
6. Dilute the residue in the tank with at least a 10-fold quantity of water from the flushing water tank.
7. Set the reverse tap (Fig. 106/1) to the "Flushing" position as per Fig. 106.
8. Spray the diluted residue onto the already treated crops – at increased forward speed by selecting the next highest tractor gear.
9. From 100 l residue, switch off the hydraulic agitator.
Important!
From 100 litres residue in the tank, switch off the agitator to spray the tank empty and correct the spraying pressure setting. With the agitator switched on, the technical residue would increase compared to the values indicated.

Cleaning the machine
Important!
• The regular cleaning of the machine is a precondition for proper maintenance and facilitates machine operation.
• Let the materials react for as short a time as possible, e. g. by cleaning daily when finishing spraying. The spray liquid should not be left without good reason for any length of time in the sprayer tank, e. g. not overnight.
Service life and reliability of the field sprayer greatly de-pends on contact time of the crop protection agents with thematerials of the field sprayer.
• Always clean the field sprayer before spraying another crop protection agent.
• Dilute the residue in the spray liquid tank and spray the di-luted residue (for this, please refer to chapter "Residues", on page 137).
• Before thoroughly cleaning the field sprayer, pre-clean the field sprayer while still in the field.
• After every cleaning of the sprayer, dispose of any cleaning residues in an environmentally friendly manner.
• Remove the spraying nozzles at least once in a season. Check the removed spraying nozzles for cleanliness, if nec-essary, clean them with a soft brush (Please refer to the paragraph "Maintenance"). Flush the spray lines without spray nozzles.
12.1.1 Cleaning the sprayer with an empty tank
Carry out the cleaning as follows:
1. Flush the empty spray liquid tank with a powerful water jet. Fill the tank with approx. 400 l water.
2. With the sprayer boom On/Off switch deactivated, switch on the agitators, run the pump at approx. 400 rpm and pump the water around the tank several times.
3. Carry out switching procedures - boom part width sections, hy-draulic agitator and central sprayer boom switching on and off - several times. At the same time, flush all parts with clean water.
4. Finally, discharge the tank content via the spraying nozzles.
5. Detach the filter cups and clean the filter inserts.
6. Each season, remove the nozzles, flush the spray lines, check the nozzles for dirt and clean with a soft brush as necessary (on page 166).
Important!
Flush the spray lines on each nozzle change and before installa-tion of other nozzles.
Maintenance, repair and care
UG BAG0021.0 10.05 143
12.1.2 Cleaning the sprayer with a filled tank
Important!
• Thoroughly clean the suction filter, the pump, suction de-vice and the spray lines if there is a weather-induced inter-ruption of the spraying process.
Carry out the cleaning procedure on the field with clear wa-ter from the flushing water tank.
• Bear in mind that the residue in the spray line is still spray-ed in an undiluted concentration. This residue must always be sprayed onto an area that has not yet been treated. See chapter "Technical specifications – spray line", on page 81 on the required travel distance for spraying this undiluted residue.
Carry out the cleaning procedure on the field with water from the flushing water tank as follows:
1. Switch off the sprayer boom.
2. Switch off the hydraulic agitator.
3. Set the multi-way reverse taps to the "Flushing" position (Fig. 109/1)
4. Run the pump at pump operating speed (450 rpm).
5. Engage the next highest tractor gear - to increase the forward speed - and drive off.
6. Switch on the sprayer boom. The flushing water now drawn in dilutes the spray liquid located in the filter tap, suction hose, pump, pressure hose, control unit and return flow.
7. Spray this diluted spray liquid at increased forward speed onto the already treated crops.

The reason for dripping of the nozzles at a shut off boom feed is residue on the diaphragm seating (Fig. 136/6). Therefore the corre-sponding diaphragm should be cleaned as follows:
1. Pull the slide (Fig. 136/7) out of the nozzle carrier (Fig. 136/2) in direction of the bayonet cap.
2. Remove the spring element (Fig. 136/8) and the diaphragm (Fig. 136/9).
3. Clean the diaphragm seat (Fig. 136/6).
4. Assembly is done in reverse order.
Important!
Ensure the correct fitting directions of the spring elements. The edges on the spring element housing (Fig. 136/10) are offset on the right and left hand side and should rise in direction of the boom profile when fitting.
12.15 Adjusting the filling level indicator
1. Add exactly 500 l water into the spraying agent tank. On the scale (Fig. 137/1) the pointer (Fig. 137/2) must show the value "5" for 500 l. If the fill level indicated deviates from the water quantity added,
2. set the pointer (Fig. 137/2) by turning the screw (Fig. 137/3) exactly to the scale value "5".

12.16 Calibration
Calibrate the field sprayer with the spraying pressure set as per the spray table
ο before the start of the season,
ο at every nozzle change.
ο in event of differences between actual and desired spray rates [l/ha].
Causes for differences between actual and de-sired spray rates [l/ha] may lie in the difference between the actually driven speed and the for-ward speed indicated on the tractor meter, and/or result from natural wear of the spraying nozzles.
Equipment required for calibration:
ο Suitable receptacles, e.g. buckets
ο Measuring jugs or dosing cylinders
ο Stopwatch

12.16.1 Determining the actual liquid spray rate [l/ha]
12.16.1.1 Determining the spray rate by driving a calibration distance
1. Fill the spraying agent tank with water.
2. Switch on the sprayer boom and check that all the nozzles are working properly.
3. Read off the spraying pressure for the desired spray rate [l/ha] from the spray table and adjust.
4. Switch off the sprayer boom.
5. Fill the tank with water up to a filling mark applied to both sides (if necessary, reapply the marks).
6. On the field, measure a calibration distance of exactly 100 m. Mark the beginning and end points.
7. Read off at the tractor meter which tractor gear would be suitable for a forward speed of 6 to max. 8 km/h. Using the manual ac-celerator lever, keep the tractor engine speed constant, taking into consideration the pump drive speed (min. 350 rpm and max. 550 rpm).
8. Drive through the calibration distance with a "flying start" from the start to the end at the preselected, constant forward speed measured at the tractor meter.
Switch on the sprayer boom exactly at the start of the calibration distance and off exactly at the end (see also the section "Determining the actual tractor forward speed").
9. Determine the water volume discharged by refilling the tank
10. using a measuring vessel
ο by weighing or
ο with a water meter.

12.16.1.2 Determining the spray rate with the tractor at standstill via the individual nozzle out-put
If the exact forward speed of the tractor on the field is known, calibra-tion with water can be carried out by measuring the individual nozzle output [l/min] with the tractor at a standstill. From the collected nozzle output, then calculate the liquid spray rate [l/ha] or read off directly from the spray table.
Determine the nozzle output at at least 3 different nozzles. For this purpose, check a nozzle on the left and on the right boom extension, as well as in the middle of the sprayer boom, as follows:
1. Fill the spraying agent tank with water.
2. Check that all the nozzles are working properly.
3. Read off the spraying pressure for the desired spray rate [l/ha] from the spray table and adjust.
4. Determine the individual nozzle output [l/min] at several nozzles, e.g. with stopwatch, dosing cylinder and measuring jug.
5. Calculate the average individual nozzle output [l/min].
Example:
Nozzle size '06'
Intended or measured forward speed
6.5
Nozzle output on left boom extension: 2.8
Nozzle output in the middle 2.9
Nozzle output on right boom extension: 2.7
Calculated mean value: 2.8

= 517 [l/ha]
2. Read off the actual liquid spray rate [l/ha] from the spray table for
ο nozzle size '06',
ο collected nozzle output [2.8 l/min],
ο intended forward speed [6.5 km/h].
Liquid spray output read off from the spray table: 517 l/ha.
• If the actual and the collected nozzle output differ, correct the spraying pressure accordingly:
ο Liquid spray rate (nozzle output) too low - increase the spraying pressure.
ο Liquid spraying rate too high - reduce the spraying pres-sure.
• Keep checking the nozzle output until the calculated and the desired liquid spray rates correspond.

12.17 Hydraulic system
Danger!
• Only a specialist workshop is permitted to carry out repair work on the hydraulic system.
• The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
• When looking for leaks, the appropriate tools should be used.
• Before starting work on the hydraulic system, depressurise the system.
• When under high pressure, any fluids (such as hydraulic oil) may penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. Immedi-ately call a doctor. There is risk of infection.
• When connecting hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic system, ensure that the hydraulic system on the tractor and on the trailing vehicle is at zero pressure!
• Dispose of old oil as specified. In case of problems, contact your oil supplier.
• Store hydraulic oil out of reach of children.
• Hydraulic oil must not penetrate into the soil or water sup-ply.
• When performing maintenance and repair work on the hy-draulic system, note the chapter "Safety recommendation for the operator", page 25.
Important!
• Ensure the correct connection of the hydraulic hoses.
• Check all hydraulic hoses and connections for damage and cleanliness at regular intervals.
• All hydraulic hoses must be checked for their operational safety by a skilled person at least once a year!
• Replace damaged and aged hydraulic hoses. Only use ori-ginal hydraulic hose lines.
• The period of use of any hose circuit should not exceed sic years, including a possible storing period of two years ma-ximum. Even if properly stored and used, hoses and hose circuits do age. Therefore their longevity and period of use is limited. Deviations from the above may be accepted de-pending on experience and potential danger. For hoses and hose circuits made from thermoplasts other guidelines may prevail.

Identification of hydraulic hoses
The assembly labelling provides the follow-ing information:
Fig. 139/...
(1) Manufacturer's marking on the hydraulic hose line (A1HF)
(2) Date of production of the hydraulic hose circuit (02 04 = February, 2004)
(3) Maximum approved operating pressure (210 BAR).
Fig. 139
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 hydraulic hose lines for visible damage.
2. Eliminate any scouring points on hydraulic hose lines and pipes.
3. Replace any worn or damaged hydraulic hose lines immediately.
Inspection criterion for hydraulic hose circuits
Important!
Please adhere to the following inspection criterion. This serves your own safety!
Replace hydraulic hose lines, on determining any of the follow-ing during the inspection:
• 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 mate-rial).
• Deformations which do not match the natural shape of the hose or the hose line. Both in a depressurised and pressurised state or when bent (e.g. layer separation, bubble formation, pinching, bends).
• Untight points.
• Damage or deformation of the hose assembly (sealing function restricted); minor surface damage is not a reason for replace-ment.
• Movement of the hose out of the fitting.
• Corrosion on the fitting which affects function and strength.
• Installation requirements not complied with.
Maintenance, repair and care
172 UG BAG0021.0 10.05
• Life span of 6 years has been exceeded.
The date of manufacture of the hydraulic hose line on the as-sembly 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 hy-draulic hose lines".
12.17.1 Installation and removal of hydraulic hose lines
Note!
Always follow the following instructions when mounting and dismounting hydraulic hoses:
• Only use original hydraulic hose lines.
• Always ensure cleanliness.
• Always install the hydraulic hoses in such a manner that the following operational conditions occur
ο The hose is not under tension, except for its own weight.
ο Short hoses are not upset.
ο Outer mechanical influences on the hydraulic hose li-nes are avoided.
Prevent the hoses from rubbing on components or a-gainst each other by arranging and attaching them properly. If necessary, secure the hydraulic hoses by using guard covers. Cover sharp-edged components.
ο The permissible bending radius is maintained
• When connecting a hydraulic hose with moving parts, en-sure that through the entire range of movement, the hose length ensures that the smallest permissible bending radius is maintained and/or the hydraulic hose is not tensioned.
• Fasten the hydraulic hoses at the fixing points indicated. Avoid hose attachments where they would prevent the natu-ral movement and length change of the hose.
• Painting hydraulic hoses is prohibited!
12.18 Electric lighting system
Replacement of light bulbs:
1. Unscrew the sight glass.
2. Remove the defective bulb.
3. Insert the replacement bulb (ensure you have the correct voltage and watt number).

Determination of nozzle type, nozzle size, spraying pressure and individual nozzle output
1. Determine the operational point for the required spray rate (200 l/ha) and the intended forward speed (8 km/h).
2. Plumb a vertical line downwards at the operational point. De-pending on the position of the operational point, this line crosses the input/output maps of the various nozzle types.
3. Choose the optimum nozzle type according to the required spraying characteristic (fine, medium or coarse droplets) for the intended crop protection measure.
Chosen for the example mentioned above:
Nozzle type: AI or ID
4. Go over to the spraying table (Fig. 142).
5. Find the column with the intended forward speed (8 km/h), the required spray rate (200 l/ha) or a spray rate which is nearest to the required spray rate (in this case, e.g. 195 l/ha).
6. In the line with the required spray rate (195 l/ha)
ο Read off the possible nozzle sizes. Choose a suitable noz-zle size (e.g. '03').
ο In the point of intersection with the selected nozzle size read off the required spraying pressure (e.g. 3.7 bar).
ο Read off the required individual nozzle output (1.3 l/min) for the calibration of the field sprayer.
Required nozzle type: AI /ID
