1.1 Introduction
Dear customer and user,
Thank you for the confidence you demonstrated by purchasing our product. You have become the owner of a machine from a broad
range of gardening, farming, small agricultural, and municipal machinery and tools, produced by
VARI, a.s.
.
The
Hurricane F-700H
mulcher is designed to meet the most demanding requirements of users in professional use. The powerful
engine together with the patented edge design of the cutting blade guarantee trouble-free mowing of various types of vegetation. The
hydrostatic gearbox, together with the wide travel wheels and the low center of gravity of the machine, enable easy movement of the
machine even in the most difficult terrain. A snow plough, snow chains and a sulky can be mounted on the machine, so the machine can be
used all year round. The automatic brake and the possibility to lock the guide wheels in a straight line then ensure safety, especially when
working on slopes.
Please read through this user manual thoroughly before use. The product will service you reliably for many years to come, provided that
you follow the instructions provided.
