Page 17: Electrical System
General Safety Instructions 1.14.2 Electrical system When working on the electrical system, always disconnect the battery (negative terminal). Only use the prescribed fuses. If fuses are used that are too highly rated, the electrical system will be destroyed – danger of fire! Ensure that the battery is connected correctly - first connect the positive terminal and then con- nect the negative terminal. -
Page 18: Cleaning, Maintenance And Repairs
Disconnect the cable to the tractor generator and battery, before carrying out electrical welding work on the tractor and on attached machines. Spare parts must at least meet the specified technical requirements of AMAZONEN-WERKE. This is ensured by using original AMAZONE spare parts! GreenDrill BAH0054-4 02.13... -

Page 20: Intended Use
The catch crop top mounted seed drill GreenDrill is intended for conventional use in farming and serves for metering and spreading of seeds. AMAZONE machines that can be combined with the GreenDrill versions 200-E and 500-H are listed in the following table. -
Page 21: Rating Plate And Ce Mark
Product description Rating plate and CE mark The rating plate shows: Machine ID No. Type Basic weight (kg) Max. load, kg Factory The CE mark on the machine indicates compli- ance with the stipulations of the valid EU directives. Location of the rating plate (1) on the machine of the CE mark (2) on the machine. -
Page 22: Structure And Function
Structure and function Structure and function The GreenDrill catch crop seed drill is used for spreading catch crops and resowing grass seed. The seed dosed by the seeding wheels is conveyed into the seed hoses (1). The seed is placed within the range of the soil tools. -
Page 23: Metering
Structure and function Metering Each seed wheel is made up of several smaller units. The fine seed metering wheel is composed of one fine seed metering wheel (f) three wheels with 0-sowing capacity (fb) (wheels with 0-sowing capacity do not dose seed) In this combination, the seed wheel has the designation "fb-f-fb-fb". - Page 24 Structure and function The sowing shaft is made up of several identical seed wheels. The sowing shaft for fine seeds is composed of 8 seed wheels (fb-f-fb-fb). The sowing shaft for normal seeds is composed of 8 seed wheels (GGG). An electric motor drives the sowing shaft.
- Page 25 Structure and function Always carry out a calibration test on initial operation when changing the sort if the same sort is used, but of a different quality and specific weight after changing the sowing shaft if the hopper empties faster/more slowly than expected. The actual spread rate then does not correspond to the spread rate determined in the calibration test.

Page 26: Mechanical Adjustments
Mechanical adjustments Mechanical adjustments WARNING Before working on the machine Position the machine on a firm, horizontal surface. Secure the tractor with the attached machine against unin- tentional start-up and rolling. Removing/installing the sowing shaft 1. Empty the hopper. 2. Remove the cover (1). 3. -
Page 27: Scraper
Mechanical adjustments Scraper An adjustable scraper is attached above the sowing shaft. The scraper can be adjusted using a lever (1) on a scale of +4 to -5. Adjusting the lever allows finer dosing of the seed spread rate. Scale values -1 to -5: The scraper is pressed against the sowing shaft using the lever. -
Page 28: Agitator Shaft
Mechanical adjustments Agitator shaft Only allow the agitator shaft to run when using seeds which tend towards bridging are very light, e.g. grass. If the agitator shaft is not required, remove the 0- ring (1). The agitator shaft is driven by the sowing shaft via the 0-ring. -
