AMASPRAY+ BAG0017.7 10.17
Reading the instruction
manual and to adhere 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 would 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 a good success one should go into
the mind of a thing or make himself familiar with
every part of the machine and to get acquainted
with its handling. Only this way, you would be
satisfied both with the machine as also with
yourself. To achieve this is the purpose of this op-
erator's manual.

2.3 Organising measures
The operator's manual
•
should always be kept at the place where the machine is
operated!
•
should always be available for the operator and the servic-
ing staff!
Regularly check all existing safety devices!
2.4 Safety advice for the operator
2.4.1 Electric outfit
•When working on the electric system always disconnect the bat-
tery (negative pole).
•Use prescribed fuses only. When using too strong fuses the
electric circuit may be damaged - danger of fire.
•Make sure the polarity is correctly fitted. First connect positive
pole and then negative pole. - When disconnecting vice versa.
•Always provide plus pole with supplied cover. At accidental earth
contact there is danger of explosion!
•Danger of explosion! Avoid sparks and open fire near the bat-
tery!
•The function of the
implements' electronic components and parts
may be affected by the electro magnetic transmittance of other
devices. Such affects may endanger third parties when the fol-
lowing safety advice has not been adhered to:
○When retrofitting electric and electronic devices and/or
components to the implement with a connection to the trac-
tor's on-board electric circuit, the onus is on the user to en-
sure that the installation will not cause any disturbance to
either the tractor's electronics or other components.
○Special attention must be paid that the retrofitted electric
and electronic parts correspond to the EMV-guideline
2004/108/EC in the relevant valid edition and that they bear
the CE-mark.

4 Assembly and function
The following chapter informs you about the assembly of
AMASPRAY+ and the functions of the individual components.
4.1 Function
The AMASPRAY+ can be uses on the field boom sprayer as a fully
automatic controlling device. T
he unit allows an area related control of
the application rate in dependence of the actual forward speed and
working width.
The actual application rate, forward speed, worked area, sprayed
quantity as well as total spray rate, operating time and the travelled
distance are permanently determined.
4.2 Display
Fig. 2
AMASPRAY+ features a numerical display. During the operational
procedure the current spray pressure (Fig. 2/1) [bar] and the applica-
tion rate (Fig. 2/2) [l/ha] can be read.
At the press of a key the display shows the working data and indi-
cates this with an arrow (Fig. 2/3).
Display Fig. 2/4: Machine in operational position (spraying switched
on).
Display Fig. 2/5: Machine travels along the distance (AMASPRAY+
receives signals from the wheel sensor).

•Opening (1), closing (2) all boom part width
sections.
One boom part-width section switch is
available for every boom spray section. A
light indicates when a boom part width sec-
tion is switched on.
In cases where more switches than boom
part-width sections are available, the right
hand switches are not extended (for exam-
ple: field sprayer with 7 boom part-width
sections, 9 boom part-width section switch-
es →2 boom part width section
switches right hand not extended).
οSwitch 1– boom part-width section
outermost left hand side off / on..
οSwitch 5 (9) – boom part-width section
outermost right hand side off / on.
4.4 Description of the Indications
•Indication tilt adjustment
οThe boom tilting is indicated with the
aid of a red light.
οThe central position is shown in green.
οWhen the tilt adjustment is switched
off, the lamp goes out.
•Indication locking of pendulum compensa-
tion
οThe light indicates that the pendulum
compensation is locked.

5 Putting into operation
In his chapter you will find information for putting your machine into
operation.
DANGER
•
Before putting the machine into operation ensure that the
operator has read and understood the operator's manual.
→Please also refer to the operator's manual for the field sprayer!
5.1 AMASPRAY+connection
Connect the machine that is either mounted to
the tractor or trailed via the machine plug (Fig.
3/1).
Connecting the forward speed signal cable from
the tractor signal socket or from the Sensor X
(Fig. 3/2) to AMASPRAY+(only UF01).

5.2 Determination of impulses per 100m
•The AMASPRAY+requi
res the calibration value "Impulses
per 100m" to determine the
•actual forward speed [k.p.h].
•actually worked area.
•If the calibration value is accurately known you can manually
enter the calibration value "Impulses per 100m" into the
AMASPRAY+.
•If the calibration value is not known the calibration value "Im-
pulses per 100m" has to be determined via a calibration run.
•As a matter of principle determine the accurate calibration
value "Impulses per 100m" via a calibration run:
•before the first operation.
•
when using another tractor or after changing the tractor
tyre size.
•in case of deviations between the determined and the a
c-
tual forward speed / travelled distance.
•in case of deviations between the determined and the a
c-
tually worked area.
•when different soil conditions prevail.
•Determine the calibration value "Impulses per 100m" in rela-
tion to the prevailing operational conditions in the field. When
the spraying operation is carried out with the all wheel drive
actuated, switch over to the calibration value determined for
the all wheel drive.
