5. Repair, maintenance and clean-
ing
I
When cleaning the fertilizer broadcaster
with a high pressure cleaner, it is impor-
tant to ensure that the water jet is not
directed to cable inlets and sockets.
- After cleaning, grease the hinge connections on
the setting levers.
Der AMADOS
+
maintenance free. During winter time
AMADOS
+
should be stored at room temperature. To
guard against dust and moisture all outlets not in use
must be protected with caps.
I
Before carrying out welding work on the
tractor or the broadcaster, disconnect the
electric power supply for AMADOS
+
!
5.1 Check shutter slide main setting
and the impulses of the setting mo-
tors
I
The setting motors have been set by the
manufacturer in such a way that the rate
setting slide at closed hydraulic shutter
slides return after switching on
AMADOS
+
nearly to the 0-
scale.
F
A change of the setting lever basic set-
ting is only necessary if
• the setting-motor had been ex-
changed.
•
the desired and the actual spread rate
considerably deviate and a calibra-
tion fault or other faults can be ex-
cluded.
•
an uneven emptying of the two hopper
tips is noted.
Prior to operation
- Mount the centrifugal broadcaster to the tractor
and connect AMADOS
+
with the power supply. Do
not yet insert the implement plug.
- Do not fill the hopper with fertilizer.
- Switch on.AMADOS
+
.
- With implement plug pulled off
- check or dial newly the coding "0004" under
mode "1" and store
- under mode "6" dial 8 km/h for the average op-
erational speed and store.
- Switch off AMADOS
+
and connect AMADOS
+
with
the implement plug
- Switch on AMADOS
+
again.
- Choose the rated spread rate 518 kg/ha and
store.
- Choose the working width 20 m and store.
- The calibration figure "Imp/100m" equals the im-
pulse figure determined at "distance sensor cali-
bration". It remains unchanged
- Choose the figure 1,0 for the fertilizer calibration
factor and store.
Execution
1. Check shutter slide position in the basic set-
ting
- Open shutter slide.
- Speed up your tractor until the AMADOS
+
display
will show the following display
Required display
- While the display shows 8.0 [k.p.h.] and 518 [kg/ha]
switch off AMADOS
+
.
- Stop the tractor and read the shutter slide position
for the metering shutter slides off the scale for the
spread rate setting.
- The read-off edge of the pointer must indicate
for both metering shutter slides the shutter
slide position 41±..
F
The shutter slide position 41±1 is only a
mean value. Decisive is the opened di-
ameter of the outlet opening. The open-
ing allowed by the metering shutter slide
must be 62 mm.
