Important information concerning Product
Liability.
According to the laws governing product liability, the manufacturer and dealer are obliged to hand the
operating manual to the customer at the time of sale, and to instruct them in the recommended operating,
safety, and maintenance regulations. Conrmation is necessary to prove that the machine and operating
manual have been handed over accordingly.
For this purpose,
- document A is to be signed and sent to Pöttinger,
- document B remains with the dealer supplying the machine,
- and the customer receives document C.
In accordance with the laws of product liability, every farmer is an entrepreneur.
According to the laws of product liability, property damage is damage caused by a machine and not to
it. An excess of Euro 500 is provided for such a liabilioty.
In accordance with the laws of product liability, entrepreneurial property damages are excluded from
the liability.
Attention! Should the customer resell the machine at a later date, the operating manual must be given
to the new owner who must then be instructed in the recommended regulations referred to herein.
GB Dear Farmer
You have just made an excellent choice. Naturally we are very happy
and wish to congratulate you for having chosen Pöttinger. As your
agricultural partner, we offer you quality and efciency combined with
reliable servicing.
In order to assess the spare-parts demand for our agricultural machines
and to take these demands into consideration when developing new
machines, we would ask you to provide us with some details.
Furthermore, we will also be able to inform you of new developments.

Safety
points!
• Turn engine off
when adjustment,
service and repair
work is to be
done.
• Do not work un-
der the machine
without safe
support.
• Retighten all
screws after the
first hours of
operation..
General maintenance hints
In order to keep the implement in
good condition after long periods
of operation, please observe the
following points:
- Tighten all screws after the first
hours of operation.
In particular check:
- blade screws on the mowers
- tine screws on the swather and tedder.
Spare part
a. The original components and accessories have
been designed especially for these machines and
appliances.
b. We want to make it quite clear that components and
accesories that have not been supplied by us have
not been tested by us.
c. The installation and/or use of such products can,
therefore, negatively change or influence the
construction characteristics of the appliance. We are
notliablefordamagescausedbytheuseofcomponents
and accessories that have not been supplied by us.
d. Alterations and the use of auxiliary parts that are
not permitted by the manufacturer render all liability
invalid.
Cleaning of machine parts
Attention! Do not use high-pressure washers for the
cleaning of bearing- and hydraulic parts.
- Danger of rust!
- After cleaning, grease the machine according to the
lubrication chart and carry out a short test run.
- Cleaning with too high pressure may do damage to
varnish.
Safety point
• Turn engine off when adjustment, service and repair
work is to be done.
Hydraulic unit
Caution! Danger of injury or infection!
Under high pressure, escaping fluids can penetrate
the skin. Therefore seek immediate medical help!
After the first 10 operating hours and then every
consecutive 50 operating hours
- Check the hydraulic unit and lines for tightness and
retighten screw connections if necessary.
Before operation
- Check hydraulic hoses for wear.
Replacewornordamagedhydraulichosesimmediately.
The replacement hoses must meet the manufacturer’s
technical requirements.
Hose lines are subject to natural ageing. The period of
use should not exceed 5 – 6 years.
Winter storage
- Thoroughly clean machine before storage.
- Put up protection against weather.
- Change or replenish gear oil.
- Protect exposed parts from rust.
- Lubricate all greasing points according to lubrication
chart.
Drive shafts
- see notes in the supplement

Maintenance and repair
In order to keep the implement in good condition even
after a longer service life, please observe the following
advice.
- Retighten all screws after the first hours of
operation.
In particular the tine connections (12 kpm), the tine
bar connections (9 kpm) and the slewing headstock
connections should be checked.
- Always keep the stipulated air pressure in the tyres.
- Grease the lubrication points in accordance with the
regulation (see lubrication schedule).
Grease the lubrication nipples with universal grease
after every 20 hours of operation.
- Before leaving the machine over winter, oil all the joints
well and grease all bearings.
Lubrication points
Symbols havebeenstuck onthemachine at variouspoints.
These indicate one or more lubrication points.
• Grease lubrication points
according to lubrication chart.
Intake transmission
- Change oil after the first 50 operating hours.
- Under normal operating conditions,oil is to bechanged
annually.
- Change oil after 100hat the latest.
Beware!
Retighten all
