I. Foreword

Dear customer,

We thank you for the trust you have placed in us by
purchasing this machine.

When you received this machine, the dealer should
have given you instructions for the operation,
maintenance and adjustment of the machine.

However, this 

brief introduction 

to the machine can

not replace a detailed acquaintance with the different
tasks and functions of the machine and the proper way
of treating it.

These operating instructions are designed so that you
are extensively informed of the activities required in
each area, from commissioning and operation to the
maintenance and care of the machine. The structure of
the individual chapters in the text and illustrations
corresponds to the sequence of work procedures when
you use the machine.

Read these operating instructions carefully before you
use the machine, and pay special attention to the
safety instructions.

Important: To avoid accidents and to ensure

maximum results, no alterations may
be made to the machine without the
manufacturer´s permission. Similarly,
the machine must only be used under
the conditions prescribed by Krone.

All information, illustrations and technical information in
the operating instructions represent the latest status at
the date of publication. The company reserves the right
to make constructional alterations at any time and
without prior notice or obligation.

Ordering Replacement Parts

This symbol is designed to draw attention
to the safety instructions contained in the
operating instructions. These instructions
must be observed to prevent accidents.

Mach. No.

Year

When ordering replacement parts, the machine type,
machine number and year of manufacture must be
given. These details can be found on the identification
label on the machine.

We recommend that these details be entered in the
above boxes so that they are readily available.

And please remember that imitations and copies of
parts, especially wearing parts, do not keep what they
appear to promise. Material quality is difficult to test
visually, therefore special care is required when
purchasing cheap offers and imitation parts!

The simplest remedy:
Purchase only 

original KRONE parts!

You will find this symbol at various points
in the operating instructions. It indicates
special handling information which must
be particulary followed when the machine
is used.
