Read  this  Manual  carefully 
before operating your FAST 
equipment.  The  information 
presented  will  prepare  you 
to safely operate and service 

your machine.  

All  Operators  are  required  to  read  this 
Manual carefully and be acquainted with all 
the  operating  and  adjustment  procedures 
before  attempting  to  operate.  Failure  to 
follow the information in this Manual and on 
decals  may  result  in  personal  injury  or 
equipment damage.  

This  Manual  should  be  considered  a 
permanent part of this equipment and should 
remain with the equipment when you sell it. 
Replacement manuals can be obtained from 
your Fast Ag Solutions dealer. 

This  equipment  has  been  engineered  and 
manufactured  to  provide  dependable  and 
satisfactory  use.  Like  all  mechanical 
products, it will require cleaning and upkeep. 
Inspect your equipment before putting it into 
service.  Your  authorized  Fast Ag  Solutions 
dealer has trained mechanics, genuine FAST 
service  parts,  and  the  necessary  tools  and 
equipment when service is needed. Use only 
genuine  FAST  parts  for  service  or  repairs. 
Substitute  parts  will  void  the  warranty  and 
may  not  meet  standards  for  safe  and 
satisfactory operation. 

Warranty  is  provided  as  part  of  Fast  Ag 
Solutions’  support  program  for  customers 
who operate and maintain their equipment as 
described  in  this  Manual.  The  warranty  is 
explained  on  the  warranty  certificate  you 
should have received from your dealer. This 
warranty  provides  you  with  the  assurance 
that Fast Ag Solutions will back its products 
where  defects  appear  within  the  warranty 
period. Should the equipment be abused or 
modified to change its performance beyond 
the  original  factory  specifications,  the 
warranty will become void.  

These instructions have been compiled from 
field experience and engineering data. Some 
information may be general in nature due to 
unknown  and  varying  operating  conditions. 
However,  through  experience  and  these 
instructions,  you  should be  able  to  develop 
procedures  suitable  to  your  particular 
situation. 

 

The illustrations and data used in this Manual 
were current at the time of printing. However, 
due  to  possible  in-line  production  changes, 
your machine may vary slightly in detail. We 
reserve the right to redesign and change the 
machines as necessary without notification.
