2.16.6 Cleaning, maintenance and repairs

Due to toxic vapours in the spray liquid tank, climbing into the
spray liquid tank is always forbidden.

Repair work in the spray liquid tank must only be carried out by a
specialist workshop!

Only carry out cleaning, maintenance and repair work on the ma-
chine when

the drive is switched off

the tractor engine has come to a complete stop

the ignition key has been removed


Regularly check the nuts and bolts for firm seating and retighten
them as necessary.

Secure the raised machine and/or raised machine parts against
unintentional lowering before performing any cleaning, mainte-

tached machines.

Spare parts must meet at least the specified technical require-
ments of
AMAZONEN-WERKE. This is ensured through the use
of genuine AMAZONE spare parts.

When repairing field sprayers which have been used for liquid
fertiliser application with ammonium nitrate / urea solution, ob-
serve the following points:
Residues of ammonium nitrate / urea solutions may form salts by
the evaporation of the water on or in the spray liquid tank. This
produces pure ammonium nitrate and urea. In its undiluted form,
ammonium nitrate is explosive when combined with organic sub-
stances, e.g. urea, and subjected to critical temperatures during
repair work (e.g. welding, grinding, filing).
This danger can be eliminated by thoroughly washing out the
spray liquid tank or the parts intended for repair with water, be-
cause the salt of the ammonium nitrate / urea solution is water-
soluble. For this reason, clean the field sprayer thoroughly with
water before carrying out repair work.
