1.6.1 Operational data
Number of revolutions of pto shaft: 540
1/min.
(Observe data in the setting chart).
Max. working pressure of hydraulic sys-
tem: 230 bar.
1.6.2 Hydraulic system
For the hydraulic single shutter control
two single acting spool valves on the
tractor are required.
If the tractor is provided with only one
single acting spool valve, a two-way valve
unit is required for the hydraulic single
shutter actuation (option).
1.6.3 Details about noise
level
The tractor operator seat related emission
value (sound pressure level) is 74 dB (A),
measured when operating with closed
tractor cab at the ear of the tractor opera-
tor.
Measuring implement: OPTAC SLM 5.
The value of the sound pressure level
mainly depends on the vehicle used.

1.7 Declined use of the
machine
The centrifugal broadcaster AMAZONE
ZA-X Perfect 02 has exclusively been
designed for the usual operation in agri-
culture for spreading dry, granular, prilled
and crystalline fertilisers as well as for
designated seeds and slug pallets.
Slopes up to 20% inclination can be
spread, on steeper slopes the spread
pattern is too uneven.
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 opera-
tion maintenance and repair conditions as
well as the exclusive use of original
AMAZONE spare parts is to be under-
stood.

Any damage resulting from
arbitrary changes on the
machine rule out the re-
sponsibility of the manufac-
turer.
Though machines having been manufac-
tured with great care certain deviations
when spreading fertiliser cannot totally be
excluded even at a declined use: These
deviations may be caused e.g. by:
- Varying composition of fertiliser and
seed (e. g. granule size distribution,
specific density, granule shape,
dressing, sealing).
- Drifting.
- Blocking up or bridging (e.g. by for-
eign particles, bag residue, damp fer-
tiliser etc.).
- undulated terrain.
- Wear of wearing parts (e.g. spreading
blades, seed metering wheels, V-
belts).
- Damage by external influence.
- Wrong drive-R.P.M. and travelling
speed.
- Fitting wrong spreading discs (e.g.
mixing them up).
- Wrong setting of the machine (incor-
renct mounting, not adhering to the
spreading chart).
Claims regarding damage not having
occured on the AMAZONE centrifugal
broadcaster itself will be rejected. This
also applies to damages due to spreading
errors. Modifications made to the
AMAZONE centrifugal broadcaster by the
owner/user may result in damage and
therefore the manufacturer does not
accept liability for such damage.

2. Safety
This operation manual contains basic
hints, which have to be observed when
mounting, operating and maintaining the
machine.Thus, this operation manual has
implicitly to be read by the operator be-
fore starting to operate and has to be
made available to him.
All safety advice of this operation manual
have to be observed most carefully and to
be adhered to.
2.1 Dangers when not
adhering to the safety
advice
Not adhering to the safety advice
• may result in endangering persons,
also the environment and on the ma-
chine itself.
• may result in the loss of any claim for
damages.
Not paying attention to the safety advice
may cause, for example the following
risks:
• Danger to persons within the working
width.
• Failure of important functions of the
machine.
• Failure of prescribed measures for
maintenance and repair.
• Danger for persons by mechanical or
chemical affects.
• Danger to persons or to the environ-
ment by leaking hydraulic oil.
2.2 Qualification of op-
erator
The centrifugal broadcaster ZA-X Perfect
02 may only be operated, maintained and
repaired by persons, who are acquainted
with it and have been informed of the
relevant dangers.
