DINTRODUCTION
12 OPERATORS MANUAL - HYBRID - M3, M4, M4R, M4.8 & M6
Thank you for your purchase of a new Mounted Hybrid 3, 4, 4.8 or 6 Metre Drill.
The purpose of this Operator’s Manual is to explain to the operator how to set up, use and maintain the
machine.
It is important that the operator reads this manual carefully to correctly set up, use and maintain the machine
safely. It is essential that the Warnings and Cautions section has been read carefully.
For any further assistance or explanation on the use and maintenance of your machine, please contact your
supplying dealer or alternatively ClaydonYield-O-Meter Ltd using the contact details given on the front cover.
The Claydon M3, M4, M4R, M4.8 or M6 will give many years of excellent service with little maintenance due
to its robust construction and its small number of moving parts. However, regular routine maintenance will
give you the optimum efciency and working machine life of your drill.
In the interest of product development Claydon may (at their discretion) issue updates or component changes
which may improve your machines performance or longevity.
