READING THE INSTRUCTION
manual and to adhere to it should not appear to
be inconvenient and superfluous as it is not
enough to hear from others and to realise that a
machine is good, to buy it and to believe that now
everything would work by itself. The person
concerned would not only harm himself but also
make the mistake of blaming the machine for the
reason of a possible failure instead of himself. In
order to ensure a good success one should go into
the mind of a thing or make himself familiar with
every part of the machine and to get acquainte
d
with its handling. Only this way, you would be
satisfied both with the machine as also with
yourself. To achieve this is the purpose of this
instruction manual.

Foreword
Dear Customer,
You have chosen one of the quality products from the wide product range of AMAZONEN-WERKE,
H. DREYER GmbH & Co. KG. We thank you for your trust in our products
On receiving the implement, check to see if it has been damaged during transport or if parts are
missing. Using the delivery note, check that the implement has been delivered in full, including any
special equipment ordered. Damage can only be rectified if problems are signalled immediately.
Before initial operation, read and observe this operating manual, and particularly the safety
information. Only after careful reading will you be able to benefit from the full scope of your newly
purchased implement.
Please ensure that all the implement operators have read this operating manual before they put the
implement into operation.
Should you have any questions or problems, please consult this operating manual or contact your
local service partner.
Regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn or damaged parts increases the service life of
your implement.
