FOREWORD

TO OUR CUSTOMERS

The following pages and illustrations are printed to help

supply you with the knowledge to better operate and

service your Dion Forage Box.

Any piece of equipment needs, and must have a cer-

tain amount of service and maintenance to keep it in

top running condition. We have attempted to cover all

the adjustments required to fit most conditions; however,

there may be times when special care must be taken to

fit a condition

Study this operator’s manual carefully and become ac-

quainted with all the adjustments and operating proced-

ures before attempting to operate your new equipment.

Remember, it is a machine and it has been designed and

tested to do an efficient job in most operating conditions

and will perform in relation to the service it receives.

If special attention is required for some conditions, ask

your Dion Dealer; his parts and Service Organization will

be glad to help and answer any questions on operation

and service of your new machine.

THIS MANUAL SHOULD REMAIN WITH THE

MACHINE WHEN SOLD

This manual was prepared from the latest product in-

formation available at publication time. The Company

reserves the right to make changes at any time without

notice.

The safety section of your Operator’s manual is intended

to point out some of the basic safety situations which

may be encountered during the normal operation and

maintenance of your Forage Box, and to suggest pos-

sible ways of dealing with these situations. This section

is NOT a replacement for other safety practices featured

in other sections of this book.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

Your Dion Warranty for this machine appears in this

manual, which you received from your dealer when you

purchased the Box.

The equipment purchaser shall assume charges for ser-

vice calls or transportation of equipment to and from the

location of servicing Dion dealer.

SAFETY

The safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in

designing and developing a new Forage Box. Designers

build in as many safety features as possible. However,

every year many accidents occur which could have been

avoided by a few seconds thought and a more careful

approach to handling farm machinery and implements.

Read and implement the safety instructions detailed in

the safety section of this manual.

Manual No. B5818E983 V1.0

SAFETY RULES

SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

The symbol above calls your attention to instructions

concerning your personal safety. It is found through-

out the manual as well as on the machine to point out

specific hazards and ways to avoid them. Always follow

the instructions to minimize the risk of personal injury or

death.

DANGER, WARNING AND CAUTION

Whenever you see the words and symbols shown below,

used in this manual and on decals, you MUST take note

of their instructions as they relate to personal safety.

This symbol together with the word DANGER in-

dicates an imminently hazardous situation that,

if not avoided, will result in DEATH OR VERY

SERIOUS INJURY.

This symbol together with the word WARNING

indicates a potentially hazardous situation that,

if not avoided, could result in DEATH OR SERI-

OUS INJURY.

This symbol together with the word CAUTION

is used to indicate a potentially hazardous situ-

ation that, if not avoided, may result in MINOR

INJURY.

The word IMPORTANT is used to identify special in-

structions or procedure which, if not strictly observed,

could result in damage to, or destruction of the machine,

process or its surroundings.

The word NOTE is used to indicate points of particular

interest for more efficient and convenient repair or oper-

ation.

DECALS:

WARNING: DO NOT remove or obscure Danger,

Warning, Caution or Instruction decals that are

not readable or are missing. Replacement de-

cals are available from your Dealer in the event

of loss or damage. The actual location of these

Safety Decals is illustrated in page 15.

FOLLOW A SAFETY PROGRAM

For safe operation:

For safe operation of a Forage Box you must be a quali-

fied and authorized operator. To be qualified, you must

read and understand the written instructions supplied

in this Operator’s Manual, have training, and know the

safety rules and regulations for the job.

Some regulations specify that no one under the age of

16 years, for example, may operate power machinery.

This includes tractors. It is your responsibility to know

what these regulations are, and obey them, in the oper-

ating area or situation.

These will include, but are not limited to, the following

instructions for proper operation.

WARNING: An operator should not use alcohol

or drugs which can change his alertness or co-

ordination. An operator on prescription or “over

the counter” drugs needs medical advice on

whether or not he or she can operate machines.

A WORD TO THE OPERATOR

It is YOUR responsibility to read and understand the

safety section in this manual before operating your ma-

chine. You must follow these safety instructions that take

you step by step through your working day.

In reading this section, you will note that illustrations

have been used to highlight certain situations. Each

illustration is numbered and the same number appears

in the text in parenthesis.

Remember that YOU are the key to safety. Good safe-

ty practices not only protect you, but also the people

around you. Study the features in this manual and make

them a working part of your safety program.

Think SAFETY! Always work with SAFETY on your

mind.

WARNING: In some of the illustrations used in

this Operator Instruction Book, panels or guards

may have been removed for clarity. Never oper-

ate the machine without these components in

position. If the removal of panels or guards is

necessary to make a repair, they MUST be re-

placed before operation.
