I. Foreword
Dear customer,
We thank you for the trust you have placed in us by
purchasingthismachine.
When you received this machine, we hope that your
dealergave youinstructions forthe operation,
maintenanceand adjustmentofthe machine.
However, this brief introduction to the machine is no
substitute for a detailed acquaintance with the different
tasks and functions of the machine and the proper way
of treating it.
These operating instructions are designed so that you
are extensively informed of the activities required in
eacharea, fromcommissioning andoperation tothe
maintenance and care of the machine. The structure
of the individual chapters in the text and illustrations
correspondstothesequenceofworkprocedures
when you use the machine.
Readtheseoperatinginstructionscarefullybefore
you use the machine, and pay special attention to the
safety instructions.
Important: To avoid accidents and to ensure
maximum results, no alterations may
be made to the machine without the
manufacturer´spermission.Similarly,
the machine must only be used under
theconditions prescribedbyKrone.
All information, illustrations and technical information in
the operating instructions represent the latest status at
the date of publication. The company reserves the right
to make constructional alterations at any time and
withoutpriornotice or obligation.
This symbol is designed to draw atten-
tion to the safety instructions contain-
ed in the operating instructions. These
instructions must be observed to
prevent accidents.
Ordering Replacement Parts
Mach. No.
Type
Year
When ordering replacement parts, the machine type,
machine number and year of manufacture must be
given. These details can be found on the identification
label on the machine.
We recommend that these details be entered in the
above boxes so that they are readily available.
And please remember that imitations and copies of
parts, especially wearing parts, do not keep what they
appear to promise. Material quality is difficult to test
visually, therefore special care is required when
purchasing cheap offers and imitation parts!
The simplest remedy:
Purchase only original KRONE parts!
