Putting into operation Determination of impulses per 100m • The AMASPRAY requires the calibration value "Impulses per 100m" to determine the • actual forward speed [k.p.h]. • actually worked area. • If the calibration value is accurately known you can manually enter the calibration value "Impulses per 100m"...
Putting into operation Determination of impulses per 100m: 1. Accurately measure out in the field a calibration distance of 100m. 2. Mark the start and the finish points (Fig. 4). Fig. 4 3. Simultaneously actuate the keys 4. Drive down the measure distance of exactly 100m and stop. 5.

Operation of the machine Operation of the machine DANGER • When starting to operate the machine observe the opera- tor's manual for the field sprayer. • When operating the machine observe the chapter "Safety advice for the operator", Seite 8. Creating jobs Max 10 jobs ( 0-9) can be created.
Operation of the machine 6.1.1 Spray rate greater than 1000 l/ha Only 3 places are available for showing the spread rate in the work display. However, spread rates greater than 1000 l/ha can be entered and applied. The display for spread rates greater than 1000 l/ha then appears as follows: •...
Operation of the machine 6.1.3 External j (ASD) An external job can be given to the AMASPRAY via a PDA computer. This job is always given the job designation AE. The data is transferred via the serial interface. • For this purpose, set the transfer rate of the serial interface to 19200 or 57600 Baud (Parameter 9).
Operation of the machine Procedure during operation 1. Set the reversing taps on the control panel to spraying. 2. Switch on AMASPRAY Select the order and check / enter the required amoung. Start the job. Back to work menu. 6. Lifting the sprayer boom until the transport securing device unlocks via the tractor con- trol valve (hose mark yellow).
