research and improvements. 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 by 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

that may arise regarding the operation of the

Your 

KUHN 

dealer can offer a complete line of genuine 

KUHN
