AMAZONE ZG-B 5500-8200 Bulk Material Spreader Setting Chart

Description

AMAZONE ZG-B Setting Chart for ZG-B 5500-8200 bulk material spreaders, covering Special, Super, Drive and Precis models with detailed spread-rate, working-width, calibration and spreading-disc information.

This comprehensive 96-page digital PDF provides the factory setting information required for accurate operation and adjustment of AMAZONE ZG-B bulk material and fertiliser spreaders.

Models and versions covered include:

• ZG-B 5500
• ZG-B 8200
• ZG-B Special
• ZG-B Super
• ZG-B Drive
• ZG-B Precis

The AMAZONE ZG-B Setting Chart explains how to select the correct machine settings according to fertiliser type, bulk density, working width, forward speed and required application rate.

A major section of the manual covers spread-rate adjustment.

Information includes:

• Setting the spread rate
• Shutter slide position
• Selecting settings from the chart
• Calculating shutter slide position
• Using the slide disc rule
• Settings for ZG-B Super with ground-wheel drive
• Belt speed I and II
• High application-rate settings
• Checking the actual spread rate
• Calibration procedures

The manual explains the different adjustment methods used on the various ZG-B versions.

ZG-B Drive and ZG-B Precis machines use the AMATRON+ on-board computer for spread-rate adjustment, while ZG-B Special and Super versions use the setting lever and shutter slide.

Detailed guidance is provided for determining the correct shutter slide position according to bulk density, working width, operating speed and required kg/ha.

The chart also explains how to calculate a setting when the exact working width, speed or fertiliser bulk density is not shown in the tables.

Calibration is covered in detail.

The manual includes procedures for:

• Driving over a measured calibration distance
• Stationary calibration
• Determining the required test distance
• Calculating multiplication factors
• Checking collected fertiliser weight
• Correcting the shutter position when the actual spread rate differs from the required rate

Working widths from approximately 9 metres through to 36 metres are covered in the calibration information.

A separate section explains how to check working width with the AMAZONE mobile fertiliser test kit.

Because the spreading characteristics of fertiliser can vary with granule size, bulk density, surface finish, moisture and storage conditions, the manual recommends checking the actual working width where necessary.

The AMAZONE ZG-B Setting Chart includes detailed information on the twin-disc spreader unit.

This covers:

• Lime spreading discs
• Spreading moist lime
• Additional roof chute settings
• Granulated fertilisers
• Omnia-Set spreading discs
• Normal fertilising
• Late top dressing
• Setting the working width
• Adjusting spreading vanes
• Fertiliser groups
• Spreading-disc selection

The Omnia-Set system provides different spreading discs for different working-width ranges.

These include:

• OM 10-16
• OM 18-24
• OM 24-36

The manual explains how the spreading vanes are adjusted to alter the working width and how the short and long vanes influence different parts of the spread pattern.

Detailed tables provide spreading-vane positions for different working widths and fertiliser groups.

The manual also includes an example showing how to use the complete setting chart, starting with the fertiliser type and then selecting the fertiliser group, spreading disc, working width, vane position, bulk density and shutter setting.

Fertiliser information covers a wide range of products and types including:

• Calcium ammonium nitrate
• Ammonium nitrate
• Urea
• NS fertilisers
• NPK fertilisers
• NP fertilisers
• NK fertilisers
• PK fertilisers
• Superphosphate
• Triplephosphate
• Potash
• Kieserite
• Magnesia Kainit
• Granular fertilisers
• Lime and bulk spreading materials

Examples from manufacturers and suppliers including Yara, Kemira, K+S and others are included in the fertiliser tables.

The spread-rate section is organised according to fertiliser bulk density.

Tables cover bulk densities from approximately:

• 0.65 kg/l
through to
• 1.54 kg/l

This allows the operator to select the appropriate spread-rate table even where the exact fertiliser brand is not listed, provided the bulk density is known.

Border spreading is also covered, including the AMAZONE Limiter ZG-B system.

The manual provides the necessary information for setting the spreader when working alongside field boundaries and other restricted areas.

This is a particularly useful manual for anyone operating a used AMAZONE ZG-B spreader where the original factory setting information, calibration data or fertiliser charts are no longer available with the machine.

Rather than relying on approximate settings, the operator can use the manufacturer’s data to establish the correct spread rate, working width, spreading-disc configuration and shutter position.
