$ DEAR OWNER
In buying a Frontier machine you have chosen wisely. Into it have gone years of thought, research and
improvement. You will find, as have thousands of owners all over the world, that you have the best that
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
performance you get from this machine is largely dependent on how well you read and understand this manual
and apply this knowledge. Please DO NOT ASSUME YOU KNOW HOW TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN YOUR
MACHINE before reading this manual carefully. KEEP THIS MANUAL AVAILABLE FOR REFERENCE. Pass
it on to the next owner if you re-sell the machine.
Your John Deere dealer can offer a complete line of original manufacturer 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 highly on the conditions of use (products to handle, soil, weather
conditions, etc...).

Designated use of the machine
The DM1160 mower must only be used for the purpose for which it was manufactured: mowing on the ground
of hay fields, grass silage fields and improved pastures for the purpose of harvesting fodder for feeding
livestock.
