1.7 Designated use of the machine

The designated use for the winter application spreader AMAZONE E+S is for the exclusive use only for winter servic e on roa ds and wa ys, etc. and in road construction for s preading grit and sand on the base layers and on the upper asphalt base and wearing layer as well as for s pread ing sand on sports grounds and golf courses.

Slopes of up to 20% can be spread. On steeper slopes the spread pattern would become uneven.

Any use beyond these g uidelines stipulat ed above is no longer considered as designated use. The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage resulting from non-com pliance and therefor e the operator himself carries the full risk.

Under "designated use" also the manufacturer’s prescribed operation, maintenance and repair conditions must be adhered to as well as the exclusive use of original AMAZONE spare parts.

Any damage resulting from arbitrary changes on the machine rule out the responsibility of the manufacturer.

Though machines having been manufactured with great care certain deviations cannot totally be excluded even at a design ated use. T hese de viations may be caused e.g. by:

- Varying composition of the spread ing material ( e.

g. granule size distribution, specific density, granule shape).

- Blocking up or bridging (e. g. by foreign particles

or moisture).

- Wear of wearing parts (e.g. spreading vanes,

agitator . . . ) .

- Damage by external influence.

- Wrong drive R.P.M. and travelling spe eds .

Fitting wrong spreading discs (e.g. mixing them up).

- Wrong setting of the machine, nod adhering to

the setting chart).

Therefore, check and ensure that your machine is functioning correctly before and during use. Claims regarding damage not having occurred on the machine itself will be rejected. This also applies for damage due to spreading errors..

2.4 Safety conscious operation

Besides the safety advice in this instruction manual additionally, the national, and generally valid operation safety and accident prevention advice of the authorised trade association are binding, especially UVV 3.1, UVV 3.2 and UVV 3.4.

Adhere to the safety advice on the decals on the machine.

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 accident prevention advice

Basic principle:

Always check traffic and operational safety before putting the machine to operation.

1. Adhere to the ge ner a l rul es of hea lth- and safety precautions besides the advic e in th is instr ucti on manual.

2. The fitted warning- and advising decals give important hints for a s afe operation; adhering to them protects your own safety.

3. When making use of public roads adhere to applicable traffic rules.

4. Become acquainte d with the machines controls and functions before beginning the operation. Doing this during operation would be too late.

5. Avoid wearing any loose clothing that would possibly wrap or catch on moving machinery.

6. Avoid danger of fire by keeping the machine clean.

7. Before beginning to move, check surrounding area (children etc.). Ensure suff icient v isib il ity.

8. Sitting or standing on the implement during operation or during transport is not permissible.

9. Attach implements as advised and only to the advised devices.

10. Special care should be taken when the implement is coupled to or off the tractor.

11. When attaching or removing the m achine bring any parking or storing devices into the corresponding position (standing safety).

12. Fit weights always to the fixin g points provided and as advised for that purpose.

13. Adhere to the maximum perm issible axle lo ads, total weights and transport dimensions.

14. Observe the outer permissible transport dimensions according to your national traffic law.

15. Fit and check transport gear, traffic lights, warnings and guards.

16. T he release ropes for quick coupling three point linkages should hang freely and in the lowered position must not release by themselves.

17. During driving never leave the operator’s seat.

18. Mount the implement as prescribed. Moving behaviour, steerability and braking are influenced by mounted im plements, trailers and ballast weights. Check sufficient steerabil ity and braking.

19. When lifting a three-point-implement the front axle load of the tractor is reduced dep ending on its size. The sufficient front axle load (20% of the tractor net weight) must be observed (pls.see instruction book of the vehicle manufacturer).

20. When driving into bends m ind the projection to the sides and the gyrating mass of the implement. To avoid sidewa ys swing of the s preader during operation stabilise the lower link arms of the three-point-hydraulic.

21. Take implement only into operation when all guards are fixed in position.

22. Never stay or let anyone stay within the operation area of the implement.

23. Hydraulic folding frames may only be actuated when nobody is staying in the swivelling range.

24. On all hydraulically actuated pivoting parts exists danger of injury by bruising and trapping.

25. On all hydraulically actuated pivoting parts exists danger of injury by bruising and trapping.

26. Before leaving the vehicle lower the implement to the ground. Actuate t he parking brakes, stop the engine and remove ignition key.

27. Nobody should stay between vehicle and implement if the tractor is not secured against rolling away by the parking brake and/or by chocks.

28. Note maximum permissible filling loads.

Bear in mind the spreading material bulk density [kg/l].

Payload E+S 200 1000 kg E+S 300 1000 kg E+S 400 1000 kg E+S 600 1000 kg

29. Do not place any foreign objects inside the hopper.

30. During the calibrat ion test watch out for danger zones due to rotating implement parts.

31. Never park or mov e the spreader with filled

hopper (danger of tipping over).

32. Before any operation check perfect seat of the fixing parts, especially for spreading disc- and spreading vane-fixing.

Page 14

Safety

DB 534 02. 02

2.5.2 General safety and accident prevention advice for mounted implements

1. Before mountin g and dismounting implem ents to

the three-point link age bring all control lever s in such a position that an unintended lifting or lowering is impossible.

2. When fitting to the three-point linkage the

mounting categories on the vehicle and the implement must coincide.

3. Within the range of the three-p o int li nkage danger

of bruising and shearing.

4. When actuating the control levers for the three-

point linkage never step between vehicle and implement.

5. In transport position of the implement always take

care for a sufficient lateral locking of the three point.

6. When driving on public roads with lifted

implement the control lever has to be locked against unintended lowering.

7. Mount and dismount implements as prescribed.

Observe manufacturer’s advice.

8. Working implements should only be transported

and driven on vehicles which are designed to do this.

2.5.3 General safety and accident prevention advice when operating with PTO shafts

1. Use only PTO shaf ts which are designed for the

implement by the manufacturer and which are equipped with all legally reques ted guards .

2. Guard tubes and cones of the PTO s haft as well

as a vehicle and implement s ide PT O guard m us t be fitted and kept in a proper condition.

3. On PTO shafts always ensure the tube has

sufficient overlap in transport- and operating position. (Observe instruction m anual of the PTO shaft manufacturer.)

4. Fit and remove the PTO shaft only when the

universal joint shaft is diseng aged and when the engine is stopped and ignition key is removed.

5. Ascertain correct fitting and sec uring of the PT O

support.

6. Prevent PTO guard from spinning by fixing the

provided chain to a nearby static part.

7. Before switching on the PTO shaft 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 observe data in the setting chart).

8. Slow engagement of the PTO shaft protects

vehicle and spreader.

9. When using the ground-related PTO take into

account that the PTO speed depends on the driving speed and that the turning direction is reversed when driving backwards.

10. Before switching on the PTO shaf t take care that no one stays in the danger zone of the implement.

11. Never switch on the tr actor PTO while engine is stopped.

12. When operating with a switched on PTO shaft allow no one to sta y near to the spinni ng PTO or universal joint shaft.

13. Alwa ys stop PTO when it is n ot needed or whe n the shaft is in an adverse pos ition. D isen gage th e universal joint shaft as soon as the outlet openings are closed.

14. Attention! After switching off the PTO the mounted implement may continue to run by its dynamic mass. During this period never come too close to the implement. Begin to work on the implement only after it 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 an d ignition key pulled out.

16. Place the uncoupled PTO shaft on the retaining support provided.

17. After removal of PTO shaft apply guard cap o nto PTO stub.

18. Imm ediately repair any damage before operat ion to avoid consequential problems.

2.5.4 General safety and accident

prevention advice for the hydraulic system

1. The hydraulic system is under high pressure.

2. Connect hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic rams and motors according to the advice in the instructions.

3. When fitting the hydraulic hoses to the vehicle hydraulic sockets always ensure that the hydraulic system on the vehicle as well as on the implement is without pressure.

4. To avoid wrong hydraulic connection between vehicle and implem ent, sock ets and plugs sho uld be marked (e. g. colour coded). This helps to prevent contrary function (lifting instead of lowering or vice versa) and reduces th e da nger of accident!

5. All hydraulic hoses must be checked for their operational safet y by a skilled person before the first operation of the machine and then at least once a year. In case of damage or ageing replace the hydraulic hoses! The replacement hoses must corres pond to the tec hnical d emands of the implement manufacturer.

6. When searching for leaks appropriate aids sh ou ld be used because of the danger of injury.

7. Liquids leaking under high pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause severe injury. When injured see a doctor immediately! Danger of infection.

Page 15

Safety

DB 534 02. 02

8. Before s tarting to do repair work to the h ydraulic system release the pressure by actuating the control lever accordingly, lower machine to the ground and stop vehicle engine.

9. The period of use of any hose circuit should not exceed six years including a possible storing period of two years max imum. Also when stored and used properly hoses and hose circuits do age. Therefore their longevity and period of use is limited. Deviations from the above may be accepted by the Health- and Safety Authorities depending on the experience the y have had and the danger potential. For hoses and hose circuits made of thermoplasts other guide lines may prevail.

Safety

DB 534 02. 02

2.6 General safety and accident prevention advice for maintenance, repair and cleaning

1. Repair-, maintenance- and cleaning operations as well as the remed y of function faults should principally be conducted with drive and engine stopped. Remove ignition key.

2. Chec k nuts and bolts f or tightness regu larly. For

the first time after 3 – 4 hopper fillings. If necessary retighten nuts and bolts.

3. When doing maintenance work on the lifted implement make sure that it is secured by proper supports.

4. Dispose of oil, grese and filters in the appropriate manner.

5. Before doing any repair work on the electric disconnect power supply.

6. Before conducting electric welding operations on vehicle or on the mounted implement, remove cable from generator and battery.

7. An y spare parts fitted m ust, as a m inimum meet with the implement manufacturers' fixed technical standards. Using original AMAZONE spare parts for example ensures this. Non original parts invalidate warranty and contravene these documentation for safe use.

4.4 Hydraulic drive

The spreading disc and the agitator are driven v ia the hydraulic motor (1). This requires on the towing vehicle:

• 1 single acting spool valve

• 1 pressure free oil return flow.

• A pump capacity on the towing vehicle of min.

26 l/min. to max. 45 l/min.

The indicated required pump capacities result in a spreading disc rev. speed of min. 250 min

-1

to max. 400 min-1.

If the pump capacity is within the upper range, operate with a reduced engine nominal rev. speed of the towing vehicle and thus with a reduced pump capacity. This measure results in less wear on agitator and hopper bottom, especially when spreading grit.

• Hydraulic hoses (2) (Length 1,60 m)

- The "flow hose" is equipped with a yellow

galvanised plug (hard pressure spring on the plug)

- "Return flow" with silver galvanised plug (soft

pressure spring in the plug) and return valve.

5.3 Initial fitting and matching up

of the PTO shaft

When initiall y fitting, match PTO shaft to the vehicle. As this matching onl y applies for this s pecific vehicl e type, check or repeat PTO shaft matching when changing vehicles.

Observe the instruction manual of the PTO shaft manufacturer.

- Pull apart the PTO shaft halves.

- Fit PTO shaft half to the vehicle side.

- Hold the PTO shaft halves (1) and (2) in their

shortest and longest op erational position side by side and check the overlap of the PTO shaft

tubes.

-In shortest position the universal joint shaft

tubes must never hit the univ ersal yokes . Allo w a safety spacing of at least 40 mm.

- In the longest operational position the PTO

shaft tube overlapping prescribed by the PTO shaft manufacturer has to be observed (please refer to the instruction m anual of the PTO shaft manufacturer).

- For matching the length of the PT O shaft halves

hold them side by side in the c losest operational position, mark and shorten according to indication of the PTO shaft manufacturer.

- Insert PTO shaft halves into one another.

- Push PTO shaft on the vehicle’s universal joint

shaft.

Ensure a proper catching of the PTO shaft connection.

- Hook in fixing chains of the PTO shaft guard on

towing vehicle and implement side so that a sufficient swivel range of the PTO shaft in all operating positions is ensured and that the PTO shaft guard does not spin during operation.

On towing vehicle and implement only use PTO shaft with complete guard and additional guard fitted. Replace guards immediately once they have been damaged.

Transport on public roads

DB 534 02. 02

6. Transport on public roads

For travelling on public roads with the spreader mounting to a towing vehicle observe the traffic regulations in force in your country.

Vehicle owners as well as t he operators are responsible for adhering to the legal traffic regulations of their country

According to the harmonised European traffic regulations traffic lights and warning plates are required on spreaders m ounted to a towing vehicle. These regulations read as follows:

- If the prescribed rear lights, the direction

indicators or the registration No. of the towing vehicle are hidden by the spreader (or other implement) they will h ave to be repeated on t he mounted implement. If the sides of the mounted implements protrude more than 400 mm the outer edge of the light emitting source of the limiting or tail lights of the towing vehicle, extra parking warning plates and limiting lights are required. If the mounted implement protrudes more than 1 m beyond the ta il ligh ts of the to wing vehicle parking warning plates, rear light units and rear reflectors are required. The light units and possibly required par king warnin g plates and foils can be obtained from your dealer directly. As always the latest edition of the national traffic regulations is valid, please verify them at your local traffic office.

The traffic light kit has to correspond to the requirements of your national traffic law..

Check proper function of traffic light kit.

For travelling on public roads secure the implement against unintended lowering.

7. Putting into operation

The max. angling of the PTO shaft cross

joint must not exceed 25°.

Always switch off the pto shaft in case of too large angling or when it is not used.

To avoid damage engage pto shaft or hydraulic drive only at slow tractor engine speed.

7.1 Filling the spreader

Before filling the hopper make sure that no residue or foreign particles are in the hopper.

Observe the permissible payload. Bear in mind the specific bulk density [kg/l]. Depending on the condition of the spreading material (moist or dry) other specific weights may occur.

Before filling check the specific weight of your spreading material. Weigh accurately 1 litre spreading material. T he weight is the specific weight [kg/l].

Observe the maximum payload and permissible axle loads and the permissible total weight of the towing vehicle. If necessary travel on public roads with only half filled hopper.

Moving characteristics, steering and braking ability are affected by mounted implements, trailers or ballast weights. Therefore, take account to these effects and allow sufficient steering and braking.

Therefore, when filling the spreader observe that the required towing vehicle front axle load is maintained (20 % of t he vehicle's empty weight, however, also refer to the instruction manual of the vehicle manufacturer).

To avoid a grinding of the spreading material and thus an increased wear of the agitator and the float hopper bottom open the shutters wide enough so that an unhindered flow of the spreading material is ensured (especially impo rtant with grit).

Spreading material which has frozen over night may cause damage on the agitating device when switching on the spreading disc drive.

DB 534 02. 02

7.2 Setting the mounting height

Set the mounting height of the spreader with filled hopper on to 60 cm (up to 4 m working width)..

Measure on the spreading disc front side (a = 60) and rear side (b = 60) from ground surface.

7.3 Setting the working width

Working widths of between 1 m and 6 m can be set,

depending on the kind of spreading m aterial. For this the multiple spreading width reducer (1) is adjusted via the chain suspension (2) according to experience values.

No accurate spread pattern will be achieved with damaged or bent spreading width reducer elements.

Please also refer to para. 7.4 "Swive lling the spread fan".

7.3.1 Checking the spreading width

Check the set working width with the aid of

• a yard stick or

• by sight.

If the actual and the required working width do not coincide, re-adjust the selected working width setting.

Correction of working width setting:

1. Increasing the working width

- Lif t the spread wid th reducer b y shortening the chain.

- Increase the drive speed of the spreading discs depending on the spreading material.

2. Reducing the working width

- Lower the working width reducer by extending the chain.

- Reduc e the drive speed of the spreading discs depending on the spreading material.

7.4 Swivelling the spread fan

The material spread from the spreading discs forms the spread fan which can be s wivelle d by twis ting the bottom group (1) within the range of the scale (2). The spread fan created by the

Procedure:

- Lift the bottom group loc king ratc het (4) and twist

the bottom group (1) eit her in clockwis e direction or counter clockwise.

- Lower the bottom group locking ratchet (4) in

order to lock the bottom group (1) in this new position.

49205

Way of function:

• If the bottom group has been set to the scale figure "30" ((neutral position) the spreading disc creates a spreading material dependent symmetric spread fan towards the implements longitudinal axle.

• If the bottom group is twisted in direction of the scale figure "0" (clockwise) the spreading disc creates a spread fan which is moved to the right hand side in relation to the implement’s longitudinal axle (seen in driving direction).

• If the bottom group is twisted in the direction of the scale figure "6 0", the spread ing disc creates a spread fan which is moved to the left hand s ide in relation to the implem ent’s longitudinal axle (seen in driving direction).

DB 534 02. 02

7.5 Setting the spread rate

The shutter slide position depends on:

• the kind of spreading material (sand salt or mixture) and its characteristics (granular, coarse/fine, moist, dry).

• the desired spreading width [m].

• the intended operational speed [km/h].

• the desired spread rate [g/m²].

The spread rate is set by moving the shutter slide lock (1) of the shutter (2) along the scale (3) according to experience values or according to the indications given in the E + S set ti ng ch art. This way different opening diam eters of the discharge opening can be set.

Moving the shutter slide lock to a higher figure of the scale (3) means:

• larger opening diameter of the discharge openings.

• increased spread rate.

As the spreading properties of the spreading materials may heavily vary (e.g. moist or dry) we recommend that you determine the desired shutter position for the desired spread rate with the aid of a spread rate check.

Procedure of spread rate setting:

- Slacken the thumb nut (4) .

- Set the pointer of the shutter slide lock (1) onto

the desired figure on the scale (3).

- Retighten thumb nut (4) firmly.

7.5.1 Spread rate check

The spread rate [g/m²] depends on:

• the shutter position.

• the operational speed.

• the PTO shaft rev. speed.

• condition of spreading material (granular,

coarse/fine, moist, dry).

A spread rate check is recommended with any change of spreading material or when it changed its condition.

If the operational speed of the towing vehicle is known a stationary spread rate is possible.

1. How to determine the actual speed of operation

- Caref ull y meas ure a test dista nce of 100 m . Mark

beginning and end of the test distance.

- Drive test distance from beginning to end mark

with the intended, constant operational speed. Determine the required time with the aid of a stopwatch.

e.g. 100m in 120 sec.

Determine the operational speed [km/h].

Operational speed

[km/h]

360

time for 100m

Example: 100 m in 120 sec.

360

120 sec

= 3 km/h

2. Determining the required spread rate per

minute [g/min] for the desired spread rate:

So [g/min] = St [g/m²] x Fl [m²/min]

So: required spread rate St: desired spread rate Fl: area efficiency

Fl [m²/min] = W [m/min] x A [m]

Fl: Area efficiency W: Travelled distance A: Working width

W [m/min] =

F [m/h] 60

W: Travelled distance F: Operational speed Example: Operational speed F: 3 km/h Working width A: 4m desired spread rate St: 50 g/m²

required spread rate So:? [g/min]

3000 [m/h] 60

= 50 m/min

F = 50 m/min x 4m = 200 m² /min So = 50 g/m² x 200 m²/min So = 10000 g/min

The necessary required spread is 10 kg/min.

Page 33

Putting into operation

DB 534 02. 02

3. Spread rate checking procedure

- Place a plastic wrap underneath the spreader.

- Lower the spreader to its lowest position.

- Move the working width reducer in its lowest

position.

- Start the towing vehicle’s engine. With the

manual gas lever c onstantly set the engine’s rev. speed according to the PTO shaft rev. speed (e.g. 540 min

-1

)

- Engage PTO shaft.

- Open the shutter for precisely 1 minute in the

desired shutter slide position.

- To determine the actually set spr ead rate [g/m²]

weigh the collected amount of spreadin g material and compare with the determined required spread rate [g/min].

If the actual and the desired spre ad rate do not coincide, re-adjust the shutter slide position. If necessary repeat the spread rate check.

During the spread rate check be aware of rotating implement parts and spreading material particles being thrown around. Danger of injury.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and repair

As a matter of principle all repair-, maintenance- and cleaning work as w ell as remedy of function faults should be carried out with disengaged universal joint shaft and stopped vehicle engine. Remove ignition key.

When doing maintenance work on the lifted implement make sure that it is secured by proper supports.

After disengaging the pto shaft the mounted implement may still continue to

run by it’s dynamic masses. Begin to work only when the implement has come to a full standstill.

Any spare parts fitted must, as a minimum meet with the implement manufacturers' fixed technical standards. Using original AMAZONE spare parts for example ensures this.

All hydraulic hoses must be checked for their operational safety in regular intervals. Exchange in case of damage or ageing. The period of use of any hose circuit should not exceed six years. The replacement hoses must correspond to the technical demands of the implement manufacturer.

When searching for leaks appropriate aids should be used because of the danger of injury.

Liquids leaking under high pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause severe injury. When injured see a doctor immediately! Danger of infection.

Before starting to do repair work to the hydraulic system, lower machine to the ground, release the pressure and stop vehicle engine.

Dispose of oil, grese and filters in the appropriate manner.

Grease the shutter guides after any operation.

In case of injuries caused by penet rating oil consult a doctor immediately.

8.1 Cleaning

After use clean the machine with a normal jet of water

(greased implements only on washing bays with oil traps).

Dismantle bottom group and clean carefully. Treat dry machine with an anticorrosive agent(Only

use biologically degradable pr ot ecti ve agen ts ) . Park machine with opened, greased shutter.

8.2.2 Gearbox oil

The gearbox is supplied with sufficient oil by the manufacturer. With horizontally mounted

implement and after having removed the oil drain plug (1) the oil level should be visible on the lower edge of the hole. A refilling of o il normally is

not necessary. External symptoms, e. g. fresh oil spots on the

parking place or on machine par ts and/or loud noise development, however, indicate an oil leakage of the gear box housing. Search for reason, care for remedy and refill oil.

For refilling oil

- lift the spreader horizontally,

- remove oil drain plug (1),

- refil oil (until lower edge of the hole),

- Screw in oil drain plug (1).

Oil filling quantity: 0,35 l SAE 90

Maintenance intervals

• 1. oil change after 50 hours of operation.

then oil change every 500 to 800 hours of oper at ion –

at least, however, once a year.

8.3 Shear-off safety on the PTO shaft

The separately suppli ed bolts 8 x 30, DIN 931, 8.8 are spare shear bolts (1) for fixing the PT O shaft

yoke on the flange of the gearbox input shaft.

Always apply grease when fitting the PTO shaft to the gearbox input shaft.
