engineering skill and actual field testing can produce. You have purchased a dependable machine, but only
through proper care and operation can you expect to receive the performance and long service built into it.
This manual contains all the necessary information for you to receive full efficiency from your machine. The

Your KUHN dealer can offer a complete line of genuine KUHN service parts. These parts are manufactured
and carefully inspected in the same factory that builds the machine to assure high quality and accurate
fitting of any necessary replacements.
About improvements
We are continually striving to improve our products. We therefore reserve the right to make improvements
or changes when it becomes practical to do so, without incurring any obligations to make changes or
additions to the equipment sold previously.
Wearing parts
Wearing parts fitted on our machines have been tested in very different situations to optimize their service
life. Nevertheless, the service life depends highlyon the conditions of use (products to handle, soil, weather
conditions, etc...).
Designated use of the machine
The SR300 Wheel Rake must only be used for the work for which it has been designed: raking on the
ground and forming windrows of pre-mowed fodder and straw.
