FOREWORD 

 

You’ve just joined an exclusive but 
rapidly growing club. 
 
For our part, we want to welcome 
you to the group and thank you for 
buying an AMCO product. 
 
We hope your new AMCO 
implement will help you 
achieve both increased productivity 
and increased efficiency so that you 
may generate more profit.  
 
This operator’s manual has been 
designed into

 

five major sections: 

Foreword, Safety Precautions,  
Operation, Troubleshooting and 
Parts Identification. 
 
It is important the owner/operator 
knows the implement model number 
and serial number. Write the serial 
and model number in the space 
provided and use it in all 
correspondence when 
referring to the implement. 
 
Throughout the manual, references 
may be made to left side and right 
side. These terms are used as 
viewed from the operator’s seat 
facing the front of the tractor. 

 

This 

SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

 

 

indicates important safety messages 
in the manual. When you see this
