Read and follow the safety instructions

Before using the machine, carefully read all the safety

instructions in this manual and the warnings placed on
the machine.

Before starting work, the operator must be familiar with

parts in this manual, please contact your KUHN dealer.

„

any operations on the machine

Before leaving the tractor or before adjusting,

maintaining or repairing the machine, disengage the
PTO drive, turn off the engine, remove ignition key and
wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop
and apply park brake.
