(ORIGINAL VERSION)
! IMPORTANT !
For correct operation, this GreenTec Scorpion 5-830 boom mower must be mounted on an approved vehicle
with an approved GreenTec attachment tool.
It is important that the operator is given both the instruction manual, spare parts book, and all other relevant
technical documentation for both the boom mower, attachment tool and vehicle before the machine is put
into use for the first time.
It is important that the operator fully understands the contents of the instruction material before using the
machine.
This instruction manual must accompany the machine and must always be available to the operator.
In case of later resale of the machine, all relevant technical documentation must be handed over to the new
owner.
The content of the instruction manual is based on information, standards, and regulations, valid at the time
of publication.
As our products are under continuous development and improvement, changes to the specifications may
occur.
If there is information that differs from the current machine, updated instructions can be found on our
