AMATRON II-A DB 599 09.01
1.6 Designated use of the on board
computer
AMATRON II-A has exclusively been designed for
the usual operation in agriculture as a display-,
monitoring and governing device in combination
with the AMAZONE fertiliser spreaders and the
AMAZONE and BBG field sprayers.
Any use other than that stipulated above is no
longer regarded as designated use. The manufac-
turer does not accept any responsibility for damage
resulting from this. Therefore, the operator himself
will carry the full risk.
Under "designated use" the operator must adhere
to the manufacturer’s prescribed operation, main-
tenance and repair conditions and exclusively use
original AMAZONE spare parts.
All applicable accident prevention advice as well as
any further generally accepted safety-, working-,
medical- and road traffic rules should be adhered
to.
AMAZONE machines have been manufactured
with great care, however, certain deviations from
the application rate cannot totally be excluded.
These deviations may be caused, e.g. by:
- Drifting.
- Blockage (e.g. by foreign particles, damp fertil-
iser, bag residue, deposits etc.)
- Undulated terrain.
- Wear of wearing parts.
- Damage by external influence.
- Wrong drive R.P.M. and forward speed.
- Wrong setting of the machine (incorrect mount-
ing, not adhering to the setting chart).
- Fitting wrong spreading discs (e.g. mixing them
up).
Before every operation and also during the opera-
tion check your machine for proper function and for
sufficient application accuracy.
Claims regarding damage not having ocurred on
the AMATRON II-A itself will be rejected. This also
applies to damage due to application errors when
fertilising or spraying. Arbitrary modifications to the
AMATRON II-A may result in damage and there-
fore, the manufacturer does not accept liability for
such damage.
