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.

2.4 Safety conscious op-
eration
Besides the safety advice in this opera-
tion manual the national, and generally
valid operation safety and accident pre-
ventive descriptions of the authorized
trade association are binding, especially
UVV 3.1, UVV 3.2 and UVV 3.4.
The safety advice indicated on the ma-
chine stickers must be observed.
When travelling on public roads observe
the traffic regulations in force in your
country.
2.5 Safety advice for the
operator
2.5.1 General safety and ac-
cident preventive ad-
vice
Basic principle:
Always check traffic and operational
safety before putting the machine 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 beginning the
operation. Doing this during opera-
tion would be too late!
5. The clothing of the operator should
fit tight. Avoid wearing loose cloth-
ing!
6. To avoid risk of fire keep the ma-
chine clean!
7. Before beginning to drive check
your surroundings (children). En-
sure sufficient visibility!
8. Sitting or standing on the implement
during operation or during transport
is not permissible!
9. Mount the implement only with the
prescribed tools!
10. Special care should be taken when
the implement is coupled to or off
the tractor!
11. When mounting or dismounting
bring parking supports into correct
position (otherwise danger of tip-
ping over)!
12. Affix any ballast weights always as
prescribed to the correct fixing
points!
13. Check maximum permissible axle
loads of the tractor (see vehicle
documents)!
14. Do not exceed maximum permissi-
ble transport measurements of the
traffic department!
15. Check and fit equipment for road
transport, e.g. traffic lights, warning
plates guards!
16. The release ropes for quick coupler
should hang freely and in the low
position these must not release the
quick coupling by themselves!
17. Never leave tractor seat during
driving!

18 Safety
DB 537.1 12.02
18. Moving characteristics, steering and
braking ability are affected by
mounted implements, trailers and
ballast weights. Therefore, take ac-
count of these effects and allow suf-
ficient steering and braking!
19. When lifting the fertiliser broad-
caster the front axle load of the trac-
tor is relieved by different amounts
depending on the size of the tractor.
Always check that the necessary
front axle load of the tractor (20 %
of the tractor's net weight) is main-
tained!
20. When driving into bends mind the
projection to the sides and the gy-
rating mass of the implement!
To avoid sideways swing of the
spreader during operation stabilize
the lower link arms of the three-point-
linkage!
21. Take implement only into operation
when all guards are fixed in posi-
tion!
22. Never stay or let anyone stay
within the operation area! Danger
by fertiliser particles being
thrown around. Before starting to
operate the spreading discs
make sure that nobody is stand-
ing in the spreading zone. Do not
approach rotating spinner discs.
23. Filling the fertiliser broadcaster may
only be done with the tractor engine
stopped, remove ignition key and
close shutters.
24. Do not stay in the rotating- and
swivelling range of the implement!
25. Hydraulic folding frames may only
be actuated when nobody is stand-
ing in the moving range!
26. On all hydraulically actuated pivot-
ing parts exists danger of injury by
bruising and trapping!
27. Before leaving the tractor lower the
implement to the ground. Actuate
the parking brakes, stop the engine
and remove ignition key!
28. Nobody should stand between trac-
tor and implement if the tractor is
not secured against rolling away by
the parking brake and/or by chocks!
29. Note maximum permissible filling
loads! Bear in mind the fertiliser
bulk density [kg/l]. The fertiliser
bulk densities can be read off the
spreading table and have to be
determined.

30. If a trailer hitch is provided it must
only be used for towing suitable im-
plements or twin axle trailers if:
- the maximum speed of
25 km/h is not exceeded,
- the trailer has a run-on brake
or a brake which can be actu-
ated by the tractor operator,
- the permissible total weight of
the trailer is not more than 1.25
times the permissible total
weight of the tractor, however,
3 tons is maximum.
- Single axle trailers must not be
towed by tractor mounted ma-
chinery under any circum-
stances.

Safety 19
DB 537.1 12.02
31. Do not place any foreign objects in-
side the hopper!
32. During the calibration test watch out
for canger zones due to rotating
parts of the machine!
33. Never park or move the fertiliser
broadcaster with filled hopper
(danger of tipping over).
34. If the implement is transported over
longer distances with filled hopper,
close shutters and disengage pto
(while travelling to the field), open
the shutter slides entirely before
starting the spreading operation, e.
g. before engaging the pto-shaft.
Then slowly engage the pto-shaft
and execute a short spreading on
the spot only now, after having set
the shutters onto the desired
spreading rate start spreading.
35. If spreading on field boundaries,
waters or roads use the boundary
spread deflector!
36. Before any operation check for a
perfect seat of fixing parts, espe-
cially for spreading disc- and
spreading vanefixing.
2.5.2 General safety and ac-
cident preventive ad-
vice regarding the
mounted implement
1. Before mounting- and dismounting
implements to the three-point-linkage
bring all control levers into a position
that unintended lifting or lowering is
impossible.
2. When fitting to the three-poing link-
age the mounting categories on the
tractor and the implement must coin-
cide!
3. Within the range of the three-point
linkage danger of bruising and shear-
ing!
4. When actuating the control levers for
the three-poing linkage never stand
between tractor and implement!
5. In transport position always take care
for sufficient lateral locking of the
tractors' three-point linkage.
6. When driving on public roads with
lifted implement the control lever has
to be locked against unintended low-
ering!
7. Mount and dismount implements as
described. Check braking systems
for function. Mind manufacturer ad-
vice!
8. Working implements should only be
transported and driven on tractors
which are designed to do this!
2.5.3 General safety and ac-
cident preventive ad-
vice regarding the pto
shaft
1. Use only pto shafts which are de-
signed for the implement and which
are equipped with all legally re-
quested guards!
2. Guard tubes and cones of the pto
shaft as well as tractor and imple-
ment pto guards must be fitted and
kept in the correct place.
3. Note the described pto-shaft tube
guards in transport- and operating
position (refer to operation instruction
of the pto shaft manufacturer).
4. Mounting and dismounting pto shaft
only with disengaged pto shaft,
stopped motor and removed ignition
key!
5. Always care for correct fitting and
securing of pto shaft!
6. Prevent pto guard from spinning by
fixing the chains provided.

7. Before engaging the pto shat ensure
that the chosen pto-speed of the
tractor corresponds to the allowable
implement input speed. Usually the
pto shaft speed is 540 R.P.M.
(please refer to details in the spread-
ing chart).
8. Slow engagement of the pto shaft
protects tractor and spreader.
9. When using the ground speed re-
lated pto shaft note that the speed is
related to the forward speed and that
the sense of rotation reverses when
backing up.
10. Before switching on the pto shaft
nobody is allowed to stand in the
area of the spinning pto- or universal
joint shaft.!
11. Never switch on the tractor pto while
the engine is stopped!
12. When operating with the pto shaft
nobody is allowed to stand in the
area of the spinning pto- or universal
joint shaft!
13. Always switch off pto shaft when it is
in an adverse position or not needed.
Switch off pto shaft as soon as the
machine's outlet openings have been
shut off.
14. Attention! After switching off the pto
shaft the mounted implement may
still continue to run by its dynamic
masses.
During this period never come too
close to the implement. Begin work
only after the implement has come to
a full standstill.
15. Clean and grease the universal joint
shaft and the pto-driven implement
only after the pto shaft and engine
have been stopped and ignition key
removed.
16. Deposit removed pto shaft on the
provided carrier!
17. After removal of the pto shaft replace
protective cap over the tractor's pto.
18. Remedy of damages is to be under-
taken before starting to operate with
the implement.
2.5.4 General safety and ac-
cident preventive ad-
vice regarding the hy-
draulic system
1. Hydraulic system is under high pres-
sure!
2. When connecting hydraulic rams and
engines the described connection of
the hydraulic hoses has to be noted!
3. When connecting the hydraulic
hoses to the tractor's hydraulics take
care that the hydraulics are pressure-
less on the tractor as well as on the
implement side!
4. At hydraulic function connections
between tractor and implement, the
sockets and plugs should be colour
coded in order to avoid incorrect op-
eration. When mixing up connec-
tions, danger of reverse function, e.
g. lifting instead of lowering. Danger
of accident!
5. Regularly check hydraulic hoses and
exchange in case of damage or ag-
ing. The replacment hoses have to
correspond to the technical demands
of the implement manufacturer!
6. When searching for leaks appropri-
ate aids should be used due to dan-
ger of injury!
7. Liquids (hydraulic oil) penetrating
under high pressure may penetrate
the skin and cause severe injuries. In
case of injuries immediately see a
doctor. Danger of infection!
8. Before starting to do any repair work
on the hydraulic system, lower im-
plement, relieve system from pres-
sure and switch off the engine!
