Reading the instruction
Manual and following it should seem to be in-
convenient and superfluous as it is not
enough to hear from others and to realize that a
machine is good, to buy it and to believe that now
everything should work by itself. The person in
question would not only harm himself but also
make the mistake of blaming the machine for pos-
sible failures instead of himself. In order to ensure
success one should enter the mind of a thing,
make himself familiar with every part of the ma-
chine and get acquainted with how it's handled.
Only in this way could you be satisfied both with
the machine and with yourself. This goal is the
purpose of this instruction manual.

The use of wear and spare parts from third parties does not guaran-
tee that they have been constructed in a way as to meet the require-
ments placed on them.
AMAZONEN-WERKE accepts no liability for damage arising from the
use of non-released spare parts, wear parts or auxiliary materials.

2.13 Warning pictograms and other signs on the machine
Always keep all the warning labels of the machine clean and in a legi-
ble state. Replace illegible w
arning labels. You can obtain the warning
labels from your dealer using the order number (e.g. MD 075).
Warning pictorial - structure
Warning labels indicate dangers on and around the implement and
warn for hazards. At these points, there are permanent and/or
unexpected dangers.
A warning pictorial consists of four fields:
Field 1
a pictorial depicting the danger.
Field 2
shows the safety alert symbol along with a signal word which indi-
cates the level of danger.
Field 3
explains the type of hazard, as well as how to avoid it.
Field 4
is where the order number is located.
Warning labels - explanation
In the following pages, the individual warning labels will be explained
in more detail. The column on the left, Order number and
explanation, provides an explanation of the warning pictorial on the
right. The description of the warning labels always follows the same
order:
1. The order number.
For example: MO007
2. The hazard is shown in bold when applicable.
For example: High Pressurized Fluid Hazard
3. Instructions for avoiding the danger.
For example: Do not use hands to locate leaks.
