maintenance and storage. It is important that each operator reads and understands this 
manual completely before trying to use the associated machine. This will reduce the chance 
of injury to both the user and persons around the machine, as well as reducing the likelihood 
of machine misuse which could result in part failure and/or significantly reduce the service 
life of the machine. Sumo will not accept liability for any injuries or damage caused from

manual. 
 
These machines have been designed to take Sumo manufactured spares; non-genuine 
parts/accessories/modifications may damage the machine as they are untested and not 
recommended for use with the Sumo machine. Sumo will not honour warranty claims if 
deemed to be caused using non-genuine parts or accessories. Conversions of/ or 
modifications to the machine may only be carried out after consultation with Sumo. 

 
As well as reading the instructions of operation contained within this manual, a trained technician 
or dealer should also instruct you on the correct and safe use of the machine and maintenance of 
the machine to ensure a long service life.  
 

Training  by  Sumo  is  required  for  the  following  operations;  loading  for  truck  transportation, 

commissioning  of  new  machines,  advanced  troubleshooting  and  repair.  Any  repair  work  to 

structural components of the machine must be carried out by Sumo or a workshop approved 

by Sumo, otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.  

 

Please note, specifications, descriptions and illustrations in this manual are accurate, at the 
time  of publication but may be subject to change. If you notice any discrepancy and are in
