To set the seed rate for the Amazone DMC Primera 12001-2C:

1. Perform a calibration test before setting the desired spread rate.
2. Carry out the calibration test for seed to ensure the pre-set and actual spread rates match.
3. The maximum seed rate is 223 lb/ac (250 kg/ha) using 2 metering units.
4. The minimum seed rate is 1.78 lb/ac using 1 metering unit.
5. The spread rates are based on a working speed of 15 km/h.
6. Always recalibrate if the seed type, grain size, shape, weight, or dressing changes, or after changing metering rollers.

To set the sowing rate on the Amazone DMC Primera 12001-2C:

1. Perform a calibration test to ensure the pre-set and actual sowing rates match.
2. Calibrate separately for seed and fertiliser.
3. Adjust settings based on the number of metering units:
- Maximum seed rate: 223 lb/ac (250 kg/ha) with 2 metering units.
- Minimum seed rate: 1.78 lb/ac with 1 metering unit.
4. The spread rates are based on a working speed of 15 km/h.
5. Perform calibration when:
- Changing seed or fertiliser type.
- The same seed type is used but size, shape, weight, or dressing differ.
- Metering rollers are changed.

Page 101: Manoeuvring The Uncoupled Machine
Coupling and uncoupling the machine Manoeuvring the uncoupled machine CAUTION You must be particularly careful when manoeuvring the machine with the service brake system released, since only the vehicle itself is now braking the machine as it manoeuvres. The machine must be connected to the vehicle as it manoeuvres before you actuate the release valve on the trailer brake valve.

Settings Settings WARNING Risk of contusions, cutting, catching, drawing in and knocks through Unintentional falling of the machine raised using the trac- • tor's three-point hydraulic system. Unintentional falling of raised, unsecured machine parts. • • Unintentional start-up and rolling of the tractor-machine combination.
Page 103: Selecting The Dosing Roller
Settings Selecting the dosing roller The requisite dosing roller is dependent on the seed type and spread rate and can be found from Table 1. For seed not listed in Table 1, select the dosing roller of one of the seed types listed in the table of a similar grain size.
Page 104: Replacing The Dosing Roller
Settings 8.1.2 Replacing the dosing roller CAUTION Switch off the control terminal! Risk of accident due to unintentional activation of the metering unit or other implement components caused by wheel movements or radar pulses. The metering roller can be replaced more easily if the hopper is emp- 1.
Page 105: Setting The Spread Rate And Calibration Test
Settings 5. Pull the metering roller out of the metering unit. Install the metering roller in the re- verse sequence. Fig. 73 6. If necessary, pull the shutter back out of the slot in the metering unit and fasten in park- ing position.
Page 106: Calibration Test
Settings The maximum spread rate is 446 lb/ac 500 kg/ha for 4 metering units. The maximum seeding rate is therefore reduced when spreading fertiliser and seed. Maximum seed rate: 223 lb/ac 250 kg/ha (2 metering units) Minimum seeding rate. 1,78 lb/ac (1 metering unit) Maximum fertilising rate: 223 lb/ac 250 kg/ha (2 metering units) The spread rates are based on a working speed of 15 km/h.
Page 107 Settings Performing a calibration test 1. Fill at least 1/3 of the seed hopper with seed (accordingly less for fine seed). 2. Loosen the rubber mats on each of the outer injectors. 3. For the calibration test, swivel the sluice flap inwards.

Page 121: Headland
Use of the machine Before starting work, check that the correct tramline counter is dis- played for the first field trip. Dressed seed is extremely poisonous to birds. The seed must be worked in fully and covered with earth. When lifting out the coulters, ensure that the seed does not trickle out.
Page 122: Emptying The Dosing Unit Or Hopper And Dosing Unit
Use of the machine 10.5 Emptying the dosing unit or hopper and dosing unit Empty and carefully clean the fertiliser hopper daily after work! Re- maining fertiliser can damage the metering unit. Seed residues left in the metering unit can swell or germinate if the metering unit is not completely emptied! This can cause blocking to the rotation of the metering wheels and damage to the drive!
Page 123 Use of the machine For complete emptying in the event of a seed change, remove the metering rollers (see Seite 104) and clean them together with the metering unit. 6. Remove the metering roller (see page "104"). 7. Close the housing cover (Fig. 94/1). 8.
