AMAZONE Fertiliser Advisory Service Please note that the individual spreading properties of the fertiliser have a great influence on the lateral distribution and the spread rate. For this reason the setting values stated in the setting chart can only be guide values. The spreading properties depend on

- the variations in the physical data (specific gravity, granulation, slippage etc.) also within the same fertiliser type and brand

- the differing fertiliser quality due to atmospheric influences and/or storage conditions Consequently we cannot guarantee that your fertiliser, even with the same name and from the same manufacturer, has the same spreading properties as the fertiliser stated in the setting chart. The recommended settings for lateral distribution refer solely to the weight distribution and not to the nutrient distribution (this applies particularly to mixed fertilisers). Any claim for damages other than to the centrifugal spreader shall be precluded. By deciding for an AMAZONE fertiliser spreader you get access to the “AMAZONE Fertiliser Advisory Service” because we want you to work economically and eco-friendly. The AMAZONE Fertiliser Advisory Service will determine the individual spreading properties of your fertiliser by testing a 3 kg fertiliser sample and give you setting recommendations for your desired working width(s). The AMAZONE Fertiliser Advisory Service is very useful if you are not sure about the fertiliser origin, fertiliser designation or fertiliser quality, or if the fertiliser is not yet contained in the setting chart. If the fertiliser can not clearly be assigned to a certain fertiliser type in the setting chart,

- go to www.amazone.de → FertiliserDatabase were you will find the latest setting charts - the AMAZONE Fertiliser Advisory Service will provide telephone support in classifying your fertiliser

and give setting recommendations for your fertiliser spreader - the AMAZONE Fertiliser Advisory Service will give you setting recommendations after testing a small

fertiliser sample (3 kg) - contact your local representative

1 General 1.1 Instructions for avoiding spreading errors

- Store the fertiliser properly (refer to manufacturer's instructions) - Adjust the machine in accordance with the setting charts, the Internet database and observing the

recommended instructions in the operator manual. - Check the spread rate before starting spreading. - Check the adjusted working width (distance between the tramlines) using the mobile test kit (optional

equipment) when using unknown types of fertiliser and also for general checking purposes. 1.2 General instructions for machine adjustment

- Observe the general safety instructions in the operator manual. - Make sure the guard tube is fitted. - The operating height is measured at the spreading disc, and is usually horizontal and at 80 cm above half

crop growth - Normally the spreading disc speed is 720min-1

1.3 Special instructions for spreading slug pellets

Slug pellets can be very dangerous for children and pets (e.g. dogs). Keep out of reach of children and pets. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions for use!

The standard version of the centrifugal spreader can also be used for the wide spreading of slug pellets. The spread rate of slug pellets is relatively low (e.g. 3 kg/ha). Avoid inhaling of product dust and direct skin contact when filling the centrifugal spreader (wear protective gloves). Thoroughly wash your hands and skin parts affected with water and soap after application. When handling slug pellets always observe the manufacturer's instructions and the general safety precautions governing the handling of plant protection products (BBA leaflet no. 18). Ensure that the two slides are locked closed when driving to the field and back. In cases of an uncontrolled discharge of spreading material in a concentrated area, collect or remove that material immediately. Ensure when spreading slug pellets that the outlet apertures are always covered by spreading material and that the machine is operated at a constant spreading disc speed. A residual quantity of approx. 0.7 kg per hopper tip cannot be spread as designated. To empty the spreader open the slides and collect the material running out (e. g. on a tarpaulin), and keep it in a closed container in a place out of reach (of children and pets). Refer to the following pages for the rate settings of the spreader. These values are guide values. Always perform a two-side spread rate check before spreading. For further information refer to the operator manual corresponding to the machine.

MH645 A.001

2 Spread rate setting Dependent on the specification of the spreader, the spread rate is set via the on-board computer or manually via the shutter slide on the machine. Refer to the corresponding operator manual for the detailed procedure. Before starting spreading, the spread rate factor for the fertiliser concerned should be entered into the on-board computer as a first approximation for the calibration factor. The spread rate factor can be taken from the setting chart. 3 Checking the spread rate The spread rate can be checked by means of the included calibration bucket when the spreader is stationary or by travelling over a certain measured distance. Refer to the operator manual for the detailed procedure. If the fertiliser spreader is equipped with a weighing system, the spread rate can also be checked during operation. Refer to the operator manual of the on-board computer for the detailed procedure. 4 Twin disc spreaders 4.1 Spreading discs With a twin disc spreader from AMAZONE it is possible to spread various working widths with only one set of spreading discs. Refer to the setting chart, the Internet database or the recommended adjustments for information about which spreading disc is required for which working width. 4.2 Adjusting the working width Lateral distribution is influenced by the spreading properties of the fertiliser used. The most important characteristics which influence the spreading properties are granule size, bulk density, surface quality and moisture. Dependent on the type of fertiliser used the spreading discs permit adjustment of various working widths. The spreading vanes can be swivelled around a pivot point (Fig. 1) to permit adjustment for the different working widths. The adjustments are read at position 1 or 2 Fig. 1

Turning the spreading vanes in the direction of rotation (Fig. 1/A) of the spreading discs (to a higher numerical scale value) will increase the working width. Turning them in the opposite direction (Fig. 1/B) will reduce the working width. The shorter spreading vane distributes the fertiliser primarily in the centre of the spread pattern, whereas the longer vane covers the outer area. Example for how to use the setting chart Working width: 27 m

- Take the page of the fertiliser from the fertiliser list - Refer to the chart for the vane position of the spreading disc corresponding to 27 m and position the

spreading vanes in accordance with chapter 4.2. - With an on-board computer: enter the spread rate factor of the fertiliser into the on-board computer as a

first approximation for the calibration factor Without an on-board computer: refer to the spread rate setting chart for the slide position and adjust the slides accordingly.

5 Checking lateral distribution with mobile test kit (optional equipment) Lateral distribution is influenced by the spreading properties of the fertiliser used. The most important characteristics which influence the spreading properties are, as is generally known, granule size, bulk density, surface quality and moisture. These properties can change e.g. due to environmental influences. For this reason the values stated in the setting chart are only approximate values. We recommend checking the lateral distribution of the fertiliser spreader by means of the mobile test kit. Refer to the corresponding operator manual for the detailed procedure.

Fig. 2 6 Side, boundary and water course spreading at ½ working width 6.1 Side spreading Almost full fertilisation up to the field edge is achieved, if you may fertilise beyond the field edge, e.g. your own, adjacent fields to be treated identically (except near surface water). In this way any underfertilised edge strips are

MH645 A.001

avoided. Do not reduce the slide position in these cases. You will find the settings for the respective fertilisers in this setting chart.

Fig. 3 6.2 Boundary spreading Avoids any fertiliser spreading beyond the boundary, e.g. in case of areas not to be treated identically. An underfertilised edge strip of 2 to 6 m is automatically produced dependent on the distance of the first tramline to the boundary (see Fig. 4) Reduce the spread rate on the boundary side by the stated value. In this way you will achieve the best lateral distribution possible. You will find the settings for the respective fertilisers in this setting chart.

Fig. 4 6.3 Water course spreading In case of water course spreading it is possible to still spread with a safety distance, e.g. near surface waters. Consequently underfertilisation of the edge strip is higher than in case of boundary spreading. Reduce the slide position (spread rate) on the boundary side by the stated value. In this way you will achieve the best lateral distribution possible. You will find the settings for the respective fertilisers in this setting chart.

6.4 When carrying out side, boundary or water course spreading 6.4.1 With hydraulic spreading disc drive The adjustment of the spreading disc on the field edge side depends on the working width, the kind of fertiliser, the spreading mode (side, boundary or water course spreading) and the spreading disc. Effect of speed changes:

- Speed increase: spreading range larger, spread pattern flatter - Speed reduction: spreading range smaller, spread pattern steeper

To avoid overfertilisation of the edge strip the spread rate must be reduced via the on-board computer in cases where boundary and water course spreading. 6.4.2 With mechanical spreading disc drive 6.4.2.1 With Limiter The setting for the Limiter depends on the working width, the kind of fertiliser, the spreading mode (side, boundary or water course spreading) and the spreading disc. The Limiter is operated by a hydraulic cylinder. The values of the setting charts must be regarded as guide values, since the fertiliser properties may differ considerably. If necessary readjust the Limiter as follows:

- If too much fertiliser is spread beyond the field boundary (particularly where water course spreading), the Limiter must be adjusted to a higher numerical value, i.e. shorter boundary distances

- If the fertiliser fails to reach the boundary (particularly in case of boundary spreading) or the field-side underfertilisation area at the edge seems too large (particularly in case of side spreading), the Limiter must be adjusted to a smaller numerical value, i.e. wider boundary distances

In case of boundary distances of 10 m and less it is recommended to make the corrections in steps of 2 positions, in case of boundary distances above 10 m in steps of 1 position each. 6.4.2.2 With Tele-Set spreading discs Adjustment of the Tele-Set spreading discs depends on the working width, the kind of fertiliser and the spreading mode (side, boundary or water course spreading). Effect of the adjustment: a) Change in vane positions

- Swivelling the telescopic vanes to a higher scale setting value: spreading range wider, spread pattern steeper.

b) Change in vane length

- Adjusting the outer part of the vane on the scale towards a higher setting value: spreading range wider, spread pattern flatter.
