Information about the com- puter 1.1.1 Range of application AMADOS can be coupled with the AMAZONE Cen- trifugal broadcaster ZA-M and can be used as a dis- play-, monitoring- and controlling device. Manufacturer AMAZONEN-Werke, H. Dreyer GmbH & Co. KG, Postfach 51, D-49202 Hasbergen-Gaste/ Germany.
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 ap- plication rate cannot totally be excluded. These deviations may be caused, e.
Safety 2.3.2 Attention symbol Safety Attention symbols which may cause dangers for the This instruction manual contains basic advice which machine and it’s function when not being adhered to, must be adhered to when mounting, operating and are identified with the Attention symbol: maintaining the machine.
Safety When installing the antenna ensure an appropriate installation with proper earth connection between antenna and tractor earth. For cabling and installation as well as for the maxi- mum permissible current supply in addition adhere to the fitting instructions of the implement manufacturer Safety advice for repair work Before carrying out any repair work on the electric system or arc welding on the...
