Dear Customer,
"Quality pays for itself." That is why we apply the highest quality standards to our products,
which are permanently monitored by our in-house quality management team and our man-
agement board. Because the safety, trouble-free functionality, highest quality and absolute
reliability of our machines in operation are the core competencies for which we stand.
These Operating Instructions are intended to make it easier for you to familiarise yourself
with your machine and to clearly advise you on the safe and correct handling of the machine,
as well as its care and maintenance. So, please take some time to read these instructions.
These Operating Instructions are a part of the machine. They are to be kept in a suitable
place and be accessible to personnel at any time throughout the entire service life of the ma-
chine. Instructions based on existing national regulations on accident prevention, road traffic
regulations and environmental protection are to be supplemented.
Any persons commissioned with the operation, maintenance or transport of the machine
must read and understand these instructions prior to starting work, particularly the safety in-
formation. If these instructions are not observed, the warranty claim will be forfeited.
If there are any questions regarding the contents of these Operating Instructions or further
questions regarding the machine, contact your PÖTTINGER service partner.
Ensure correct machine operational and road safety, and reliability through timely and metic-
ulous care and maintenance, according to the specified maintenance intervals.
Use only original spare parts or spare parts and accessories that are approved by PÖTTING-
ER Landtechnik GmbH. Only the original spare parts approved by us have been tested by us
and therefore have the appropriate prerequisites for use in your machine. The use of any un-
approved parts forfeits any guarantee or guarantee claim. Even after the guarantee period
has expired we recommend the use of genuine replacement parts in order to ensure the con-
tinuous performance of the machine.
Product liability legislation obliges the manufacturer and the authorised dealer to issue In-
structions when selling implements and to instruct customers in the use with reference to the
safety, operating and maintenance regulations. Confirmation in the form of a Declaration of
Transfer is required to verify that the implement and Instructions have been transferred cor-
rectly. The handover declaration is completed electronically by the dealer.
For the purposes of the Product Liability Act, every self-employed person and farmer is an
entrepreneur. Entrepreneurial property damage under the terms of the Product Liability Act is
therefore excluded from liability by PÖTTINGER. Property damage under the terms of the
Product Liability Act is damage caused by a machine, but not to it.
The operating instructions are part of the machine, therefore pass them on to any new owner
when transferring the machine. Instruct the new owner and make them aware of the regula-
tions mentioned.
Your PÖTTINGER service team wishes you every success.

provided in the text, specifying the chapter and subchapter, or section. The naming of sub-
chapters or sections is in inverted commas. (Example: Check all screws on the machine for
tightness. See "Tightening torques" on page xxx). A subchapter and/or section can be found
in the document via an entry in the table of contents.
Action steps
An arrow or sequential numbering indicates action steps you should take.
A black bordered, indented arrow or sequential, indented numbering indicates intermedi-
ate results or intermediate steps that should be performed.

Tightening torque
This factory standard applies to all metric bolts for which no special tightening torque is
specified in the drawing/manual. The relevant grade is visible on the bolt head.
• The values given are nominal and are valid for a head friction rate of IJ=0.14 and a
thread friction of IJ=0.125 Slight tensioning force differences can exist through differing
friction rates. The values given are to be kept to a tolerance of ± 10%.
• By using the given tightening torque and the existing friction rate used, then up to 90%
of the minimum yield strength of the bolt material is used in accordance with DIN ISO
898 .
• If a specific tightening torque is given for a bolt connection, then all these bolt connec-
tions are to be tightened to the specified tightening torque using a torque wrench.
