Introduction
Foreword
Before commissioning the machine, read and
strictly comply with the operating instructions. In
doing so, you will avoid accidents, reduce repair
costs and downtime and increase the reliability
and service life of your machine. Pay attention
to the safety notes!
HORSCH will not assume liability for any dam-
age or malfunctions resulting from failure to
comply with the operating instructions.
These operating instructions will assist you in
getting to know your machine and in using it cor-
rectly for its intended purposes.
The operating instructions must be read and
strictly adhered to by all persons working on or
with the machine e.g.:
• Operation (including preparation, fault recti󰘰-
cation during work, care)
• maintenance (maintenance and inspection)
• Transport
You receive an acknowledgement of receipt to-
gether with the operating instructions. The trained
personnel of our service and sales partners will
train and instruct you in the operation and care
of your machine. You or the service engineer
should subsequently pass the acknowledgement
of receipt to the sales partner. This con󰘰rms your
formal acceptance receipt of the machine.
The warranty period starts with the date of delivery.
We reserve the right to alter illustrations as well
as technical data and weights contained in these
operating instructions for the purpose of improv-
ing the machine.
The illustrations in these operating instructions
show di󰘯erent versions of the implement and
di󰘯erent equipment variants.

Consequential damage
The machine has been manufactured by
HORSCH with greatest care. However, despite
the intended use deviations in placing quantity
up to total failure may be caused by e.g.:
• damage caused by external in󰘱uences
• wear of wear items
• missing or damaged cultivation tools
• incorrect travel speeds
• incorrect setting of the unit (incorrect connec-
tion, non-observance of setting tables)
• failure to comply with the operating instructions
• neglect and improper care and maintenance
Therefore, it is crucial to always check your ma-
chine before and during use for correct operation
and adequate application accuracy.
Compensation claims for damages which have
not been caused by the machine, are excluded.
This also means that any liability for consequen-
tial damages caused by travel and operating
faults is excluded.

Safety and
responsibility
The following warnings and safety notes apply
to all sections in these operating instructions.
The machine has been built in accordance with
latest technical standards and generally ac-
cepted safety regulations. However, risks for
life and limb of the operator or third parties and
impairment of the machine or other material as-
sets can occur during use.
Please read and comply with the following safety
notes, before you start to use the machine!
Intended use
The machine is intended for normal use in soil
cultivation in accordance with agricultural prac-
tice. Any other use or use beyond the limitations
of intended use, like e.g. as transport means,
is considered unintended use and can lead to
persons being severely or fatally injured.
HORSCH will not assume liability whatsoever for
damage resulting from unintended use. The risk
will be borne solely by the user.
The respective accident prevention regulations
of the agricultural liability associations and other
generally recognised safety-related, occupa-
tional medical and road tra󰘲c regulations are
to be adhered to.
The machine must only be operated in a techni-
cally perfect condition and in a safety and danger
conscious manner!
Faults, particularly those which impair safety,
must be remedied immediately.
The machine must only be operated, serviced
and repaired by persons who are familiar with
it and have been made aware of the dangers
involved, see "Quali󰘰cation of personnel".
Spare parts
Genuine spare parts and accessories from
HORSCH have been specially designed for this
machine.
Spare parts and accessories which are not deliv-
ered by us, have not been tested or approved by us.
Installation or use of non-original HORSCH
products may have a detrimental effect on
speci󰘰c design features of the machine and
impair the safety of machine operators and the
machine itself.
HORSCH will not assume liability whatsoever for
damage resulting from the use of non-original
parts and accessories.
If the component to be replaced is marked with
a safety sticker, these stickers must also be
ordered and attached to the spare part.
Operating Instructions
Intended use also includes the strict compliance
with the operating instructions and adherence to
the operating, maintenance and repair instruc-
tions speci󰘰ed by the manufacturer.
The operating instructions are a part of the machine!
The machine is solely intended for use as de-
scribed in the operating instructions. Failing to
comply with the operating instructions can result
in severe or even fatal physical injuries.
¾Read and follow the corresponding sections in
the operating instructions before starting work.
¾Store the operating instructions and keep for
future use.
¾Pass the operating instructions on to a later
user. When selling on into countries with di󰘯er-
ent languages, pass on in the corresponding
o󰘲cial language.
