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 acquainted
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.

• Drill holes in the frame or on the running gear.
•
Increase the size of existing holes on the frame or the running gear.
• Welding support parts.
16 EDX 6000-2/2FC BAH0056-3 09.14

General Safety Instructions
2.10.1 Spare and wear parts and auxiliary materials
Immediately replace any machine parts which are not in a perfect
state.
Use only genuine AMAZONE spare and wear parts or parts approved
by AMAZONEN-WERKE so that the operating permit retains its validi-
ty in accordance with national and international regulations. The use
of wear and spare parts from third parties does not guarantee that
they have been constructed in a way as to meet the requirements
placed on them.
AMAZONEN-WERKE accepts no liability for damage arising from the
use of non-released spare parts, wear parts or auxiliary materials.
2.11 Cleaning and disposal

General Safety Instructions
2.13 Warning symbols and other labels on the machine
Always keep all the warning symbols of the machine clean and in a
legible state. Replace illegible warning symbols. You can obtain the
warning symbols from your dealer using the order number (e.g. MD
075).
Warning symbols - structure
Warning symbols indicate dangers on the machine and warn against
residual dangers. At these points, there are permanent or unexpected
dangers.
A warning symbol consists of two fields:
Field 1
is a symbol describing the danger, surrounded by triangular safety
symbol.
Field 2
is a symbol showing how to avoid the danger.
Warning symbols - explanation
