1 User information
The User information section provides information concerning the operating manual.
This operating manual is valid for all versions of the implement.
Figures serve as a reference and are to be understood as representations of the principle.
All of the equipment is described without indicating it as special equipment. A description may be
provided for equipment that is not fitted on the implement or is only available in certain markets. The
sales documents provide information on the equipment of your implement or consult your service
partner for more detailed information.
All information in this operating manual corresponds to the state of knowledge at the time of
publication. Due to ongoing development of the implement, deviations are possible between the
implement and the information in this operating manual. No claims can be made based on differences
in the specifications, figures or descriptions.
If you want to sell the implement, ensure that the operating manual is supplied with the implement.
The operating manual
 describes the operation and maintenance of the implement
 provides important information on safe and efficient handling of the implement
 is an integral part of the implement and should always be kept with the implement or the towing
vehicle
 must be kept in a safe place for future use.
Activities to be carried out by the user are presented as numbered instructions. Always observe the
sequence of the instructions. The reaction to instructions is indicated by an arrow where applicable.
Example:
1. Instruction 1
 Reaction of the implement to handling instruction 1
2. Instruction 2
Listings without a mandatory sequence are presented as a listing with bullets.
Example:  Point 1
 Point 2
Numbers in round brackets refer to the item numbers in the illustrations. The first number refers to the
diagram and the second number to the item.
Example: (Fig. 3/6) = Figure 3 / Item 6.
All the directions specified in the operating manual are always viewed in the direction of travel.
