Product Specification
Each machine manufactured and assembled is serialized and provided a number for tracking
purposes. There is a model number, which is the category for product family of the machine, and
there is a serial number.
The serial number may also be known as, or part of, a Product Identification Number. This
number is a formulated number which details the machines build information for tracking
purposes and easy identification later during time of service, maintenance and replacement
part ordering. The Serial number, along with Model number of the machine, can be found on the
Serial Number Tag.
HORSCH, LLC has placed a Serial Number Tag (reference picture below) on the machine with the
above-mentioned information. It is located on the main frame cross member tube directly behind
the front hitch, just off center towards the left-hand side of each machine.
Record the Model and Serial number of the machine below. Retain this page for customer use
only! For future reference, the information will be used whenever the machine is being
serviced, for ordering replacement parts or when requesting information for the machine such as
replacement Owner’s Manual or a Parts Catalog. Be sure to provide both, the model number and
serial number, when contacting your dealer, for better assistance and quicker support of your
machine.
