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 con-
cerned 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 must consider
the design of the object, in other words one must
make himself familiar with every aspect of the
machine and gain practice in handling the ma-
chine. Only by doing so would you be satisfie
d
both with the machine and 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
claimed immediately.
Before initial operation, read and comply with the information in this
operating manual, and particularly the safety instructions. 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 operat-
ing manual before they put the implement into operation.
Should you have any questions or problems, please consult this op-
erating manual or contact your local service partner.

Always keep all the warning signs of the machine clean and in a legi-
ble state. Replace illegible warning signs. You can obtain the warning
signs from your dealer using the order number (e.g. MD 075).
Warning symbols – structure
Warning symbols indicate danger areas on the implement 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
The column Order number and explanation provides an explanation
of the neighbouring warning symbol. The description of the warning
symbols is always the same and specifies, in the following order:
1. A description of the danger.
For example: risk of cutting
2. The consequence of non-compliance with the risk avoidance
instructions.
For example: causes serious injuries to fingers or hands.
3. The risk avoidance instructions.
For example: only touch implement parts when they have come
to a complete standstill.
