2.6 Technical data
Seed box, metering unit, distributor head and blower fan
of the AD-P Special are fixed to the AMAZONE soil
tillage implement with the aid of a coupling frame. The
coulter frame rests on the strong roller.
On AMAZONE combinations the seed placement depth
remains the same even if the working depth of the soil
tillage implement is changed.
When using a soil tillage implement of another manufac-
turer the coulter frame of the AD-P Special is firmly fixed
to the soil tillage implement. Therefore the placement
depth of the seed must be checked and re-set at every
working depth adjustment of the soil tillage implement.
A star wheel drives the sowing units.
The translucent distributor head being fixed on the seed
drill within sight of the operator distributes the seed
evenly to all coulters. This distributor head position
allows the operator a permanent monitoring of the seed
flow.
2.7 On receipt of the machine
When receiving the machine, please check immediately
that no damage has been caused in transit and all parts
are present. Only the immediate reportage of damage
will be considered for compensation. Please check
whether all parts mentioned on the delivery note are
present.

2.8 AMAZONE WS (Suffolk)-coulter
The AMAZONE WS-coulter (Fig. 2.2) is equipped with an
exchangeable coulter tip (Fig. 2.2/1) made from cast
iron. Due to its high wear resistance, cast iron is a proven
coulter tip material. owever, wear cannot be avoided
during large area operation on aggressive, sandy and
sharp edged soils. Worn coulter tips can be exchanged.
The coulter support (Fig. 2.2/2) prevents blockage of the
coulter outlet when the machine is lowered onto soft soil.
During operation the coulter support swivels backwards.
ardly any wear can be observed on the coulter support.
Never the less, the coulter support can easily be ex-
changed.
The coulter unit contains a guide hopper (Fig. 2.2/3),
which guides the seed directly behind the coulter tip. The
seed placement is direct and accurate before the furrow
is closed. Only in this way, an accurate and even depth
of seed placement is achieved.
Especially in conjunction with a wedge ring roller (Fig.
2.3/A) that is running ahead of the WS-coulter, this
provides  when operating behind the plough  even
drilling depth and accurate placement of the seed onto a
highly recompacted soil strip with a furrow covered by
loose, coarse structured soil, see Fig. 2.3:
1 = loose, open soil
2 = medium recompaction
3 = high recompaction
This procedure also considerably reduces the likely
hood of blockage during mulch sowing because the
dragging coulters hardly rake up any straw or other
organic matter in the furrow.

2.9 AMAZONE-sabre coulter tip
(Option)
The shallow angle of the AMAZONE sabre coulter tip
(Fig. 2.4/1) allows a better straw passage. The larger
surface of the coulter reduces the penetrating depth.
That is why the sabre coulter tip can be used for a
blockage-free mulch sowing in well mixed straw. The
performance of the sabre coulter tip is improved by using
the wedge ring roller which pre-forms the seed furrows
and thus the deep penetration of the coulter tip into the
soil is not required any more.
Sabre coulter tips are also used on light soils which
previously required depth limiters for seed placement
depth reduction.
Replacing WS-coulter tips (Fig. 2.4/2) by sabre coulter
tips is very easily possible (see Fig. 2.4).

2.10 AMAZONE RoTeC-coulter
The AMAZONE RoTeC-coulter (Fig. 2.5) optimises the
sowing accuracy, area efficiency, and life time when
sowing after the plough and mulch sowing.
The steel disc (Fig. 2.5/1) is off set by only 7° as seen in
the driven direction so that even at high forward speeds
only a little soil is moved.
The seed furrow has almost got a rectangular profile
which is formed by the steel disc and the cast iron unit.
In this way, a solid seed furrow is achieved which ensures
an accurate seed placement depth. Due to the small
angle of attack hardly any soil sticks to the side of the
disc, even on sticky soils. The flexible polyurethane (PU)
disc (Fig. 2.5/2) which is attached to the steel disc
carefully cleans the back of the disc. The moulded lugs
(Fig. 2.5/3) of the PU disc provide additional drive.
The PU-disc (Fig. 2.5/2) is also used as a depth limiting
roller as it rolls on the soil and limits the penetration depth
of the steel disc into the soil. This penetration depth can
be set by means of a grip handle in three steps from 2
to 4 cm (Fig. 2.6, Item 1-3).
For deep sowing greater than 4 cm (Fig. 2.6, Item 4) the
depth limiting disc can be removed without tools.
The high coulter pressure up to a maximum of 30 kg
provides excellent control over seeding depth, combined
with the PU-disc, ensuring an accurate seed placement.
The cast iron shoe allows smooth coulter running with an
especially even depth placement..
The PU-disc is free from wear. The non corrosive steel
disc and the cast iron unit have a long life span.
The MAZONE-RoTeC-coulter is suitable for sowing after
the plough and for blockage-free mulch sowing.

2.12 Details
about noise level
The tractor operattor seat related emission value (sound
pressure level) is 74 dB (A), measured when operating
with closed tractor cab at the ear of the tractor operator.
Measuring implement: OPTAC SLM 5.
The value of the sound pressure level mainly depends on
the tractor used.
2.13 Declined use
of the machine
The AMAZONE-Pack Top Seed Drill AD-P Special has
exclusively been designed for the usual operation for
storing, metering and sowing common seeds in agricul-
ture.
Any use beyond the one stipulated above is no longer
considered as designed use. The manufacturer does not
accept any responsibility for damage resulting from this;
therefore, the operator himself carries the full risk.
Under designed use also the adhering to the
manufacturers prescribed operation maintenance and
repair conditions as well as the exclusive use of original
AMAZONE spare parts is to be understood.
!Any damage resulting from arbitrary
changes on the machine rule out the
responsibility of the manufacturer.
Though machines having been manufactured with great
care, certain deviations from the seed rate or even a total
failure of individual rows cannot totally be excluded, even
at a declined use. These deviations may be caused e. g.
by:
- varying composition of the seed (e.g. grain size,
dressing, specific density, grain shape)
- drifting on slopes or mistakes by driving the following
- blockage or bridging, e.g. by swollen or germinating
seed residue, foreign particles, bag residue etc.)
- undulated terrain
- wear of wearing parts (e.g. seed metering wheels
etc.)
- damage by external influence
- wrong drive R.P.M. and travelling speed
- wrong setting of the machine (incorrect mounting,
incorrect determination of the gearbox position).
FTherefore check before any use and also
during operation your machine for the pro-
per function and sufficient seed rate
accuracy.
Claims regarding damage not having occurred on the
AMAZONE seed drill itself would be rejected. This also
applies to damage due to sowing errors. Modifications
made to the AMAZONE seed drill by the owner/user may
result in damage and therefore the manufacturer does
not accept liability for such damage.

and accident preventive descriptions of the authorised
trade association are binding, especially UVV 3.1,
UVV 3.2 and UVV 3.3.
When travelling on public roads observe the traffic
regulations in force in your country.
3.6 Safety advice
for the operator
3.6.1 General safety and
accident prevention advice
Basic principle:
Always check traffic and operational safety before
putting the implement into any operation!
1. Adhere to the general rules of health- and safety
precautions as well as to the hints in this instruction
manual.
2. The warning- and hint signs fixed to the machine give
important hints for the safe operation of the machine.
Adhering to them serves your safety.
3. When making use of public roads adhere to the
applicable traffic rules.
4. Become acquainted with all devices and controlling
elements as well as their function before commencing
work. Doing this during operation would be too late.
5. The clothing of the operator should fit tight. Avoid
wearing loose clothing.
6. To avoid risk of fire keep the machine clean.
7. Before beginning to drive check your surroundings
(children). Ensure sufficient visibility.
8. Sitting or standing on the implement during operation
or during transport is prohibited.
9. Mount the implement only with the prescribed tools.
10. Special care should be taken when the implement is
coupled to or from the tractor.
11. When mounting or dismounting bring parking supports
into their correct position (otherwise danger of tipping
over).
12. Affix any ballast weights always as prescribed to the
correct fixing points.
13. Check maximum permissible axle loads, total weights
and transport dimensions.
14. Do not exceed maximum permissible transport
measurements of the traffic department.
15. Check and fit equipment for road transport, e. g.
traffic lights, warning plates and road safety guards.
16. The release ropes for quick couplings must be
hanging freely without any possibility of being
actuated and releasing the quick couplings by
themselves.
17. Never leave the tractor seat during driving.
18. The machines stability, steering and braking are
affected by mounted implements, trailers and ballast
weights. Therefore, take account of these effects and
allow for changes to the steering and to stopping
distances when braking.
19. When lifting the implement the front axle load of the
tractor is reduced by differing amounts depending on
the size of the tractor. Always check that the
