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 acquainte
d
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 in-
struction manual.

1 User advice
The chapter "User advice" provides information for dealing with the
instruction manual.
1.1 Purpose of the document
The present instruction manual
•describes the operation and the maintenance for the machine.
•gives important hints for a safety conscious and efficient opera-
tion with the machine.
•is part of the implement and should be kept so that it is always to
hand on the machine or in the towing vehicle.
•should be kept for future use.
1.2 Information about directions in this instruction manual
All information about direction in this instruction manual are to be
understood in direction of travel.
1.3 Illustrations used
Operational action and reactions
The steps of operation to be carried out by the operational staff are
described in a numbered list. Stick to the sequence of the given action
advice. If necessary, the reaction to the relevant action advice is indi-
cated by an arrow. Example:
1. Action advice 1
→Reaction of the machine to action advice 1
2. Action advice 2
Enumerations
Enumerations without indispensable sequence are described as a list
with enumeration items. Example:
•Item 1
•Item 2
Position figures in illustrations
Figures in round brackets refer to position figures in illustrations. The
first figure refers to the illustration, the second figure refers to the po-
sition number in the illustration.

Symbols
The symbols mark especially important information.
IMPORTANT
marks an obligation of particular behaviour or action for the ap-
propriate handling of the machine.
Not adhering to these hints may cause trouble on the machine or
the environment.
HINT
marks application hints and particularly useful information.
These hints will help you to optimally make use of the functions
on your machine.
1.4 Hints for the setting chart
For all settings on the AMAZONE centrifugal broadcasters follow the
indications of the setting chart.
All common fertilisers are test-spread in the AMAZONE test hall and
the hereby determined setting figures are entered into the setting
chart.
A
ll fertilisers mentioned in the setting chart were in excellent condition
when determining the setting values.
Due to varying fertiliser characteristics because of
•weather influence and/or unfavourable studding conditions,
•deviations of the physical properties of the fertiliser – also within
the same kind and brand –,
•changing the spreading behaviour of the fertiliser,
deviations from the figures for setting the desired spread rate or work-
ing width in the setting chart may become necessary.
No guarantee can be given that your fertiliser – even with the same
name and from the same manufacturer – has the same spreading
behaviour as the fertiliser tested by us.
•The setting figures of the setting chart can only be taken as
standard as the spreading behaviour of the fertiliser may change
and require other settings.
•With unknown kinds of fertiliser or for a checking of the working
width set, a working width check can easily be conducted with
the mobile test kit.
•The indicated setting recommendations for the lateral distribu-
tion (working width) only refer to the weight distribution and not
to the nutrient distribution.

User advice
32 Mobile fertiliser test kit DB 538.1 04.08
Depending on working width, type of fertiliser and kind of fertilis-
ing (normal- or boundary- or border spreading) take the indications
for
•type of spreading disc,
•mounting height,
•vane position and
•pto shaft rev. speed or spreading disc rev. speed for normal- or
boundary- or border spreading
from the setting chart.
Carry out all settings with greatest care. Deviations from the optimum
setting may change the spread pattern negatively.
We implicitly point out that we do not accept liability for consequential
damage due to spreading errors.
1.5 Affixing of the enclosed self-adhesive foils to the two measurement
funnels
The enclosed self-adhesive foils must be affixed to the two measure-
ment funnels of the mobile test bench as shown.
The numbered foils designate the side of the measurement funnel in
which the collected fertiliser from the respective measurement row
(I to IV) is to be filled.

Product description
Mobile fertiliser test kit DB 538.1 04.08 33
2 Product description
The mobile test kit allows checking the lateral distribution of the fertil-
iser in the field.
For this purpose 16 collecting trays are available which should be
placed as prescribed.
After having placed the collecting trays drive down two or three bouts.
The lateral distribution which has been determined with the help of
the mobile test kit is evaluated by using a calculation scheme or a
software.
If necessary the chosen spreading vane setting can be optimised.
There are three different kings to evaluate the fertiliser lateral distribu-
tion:
•Calculation with the aid of AMATRON+
•Calculation with the aid of a pocket computer (PDA). Download
of software from the internet (www.amazone.de)
•Calculation with the aid of the calculation scheme

Each 4 collecting trays are arranged one after another and parallel in
4 rows. This way a better check of the fertiliser lateral distribution is
(Fig. 1). Pouring together the collected fertiliser amounts of the rele-
vant 4 collected fertiliser quantities results in a clear mean value (Fig.
2).
