The salt of the Ammonium Nitrate Urea solution is water dilutable, i. e. by thorough washing with water of the implement or the part to be repaired this danger is removed. Therefore, before starting to repair conduct a thorough cleaning of the implement with water.

Technical surplus amount which remains after a considerable spray pressure drop in the tank, filter tap, pump, suction- and pressure hose, control unit and nozzle tubes.

  • Page 42: Cleaning The Field Sprayer

    6.1.5 Cleaning the sprayer Life span and reliability of the AMAZONE-sprayer depend considerably on the period of reaction of the spray agent with the materials of the implement. Therefore, let these materials react as short as possible, e. g. by only cleaning after termination the spraying operation. The spray mixture should not be left unnecessarily for a longer period in the sprayer tank, e.

  • Page 43: Storing Over Winter

    6 - 15 6.1.6 Storing over winter Clean the sprayer before discontinuation of the spraying operation according to chapter 6.1.5. After termination of the flushing and cleaning operations and when no further liquid leaves the sprayer nozzles, let the pump "pump air" at a pto speed of 300 R.P.M. Switch all possible functions of the control unit so that any spray cocktail containing hoses can empty.

  • Page 44: Calibrating The Sprayer

    6 - 16 Calibrating the sprayer Always calibrate the sprayer with the spray pressure set according to the spray rate table before beginning the seasonal operation, at any change of nozzles or when not achieving the desired spray rate (l/ha). Any differences occuring could be caused by differences between the actual driven forward speed and that displayed on the tractor meter and/or by the natural wear of the spray nozzles.

  • Page 45: Stationary Calibrating By Single Nozzle Output

    6 - 17 6.2.1.2 Stationary calibrating from single nozzle output The calibrating can also be conducted by measuring the single nozzle output (l/min) with water when the forward speed of the tractor on the field is exactly known (please refer to chapter 6.1.4). This then allows the calculation of the liquid rate (l/ha) or to read it directly off the spray table.

    7 - 3 Filter execution Only if the spray mixture is thoroughly filtered, a trouble free operation of the sprayer, especially of the nozzles, is ensured and thus it influences considerably the success of the treatment. Therefore, always use all filters provided and check their function by a regular maintenance. Mesh width of pressure and nozzle filter (please refer to chapter 7.4.2 and 11.0) must always be smaller than the liquid flow cross section of the used nozzles.

It has a larger number of meshes per inch than the suction filter insert of the filter tap. This way, the unpermissible large particles which still remained in the spray liquid are filtered off for the protection of the spray nozzles.
