Dear customer!

We would like to thank you for the confidence in buying this implement.

The advantages of this implement will be shown, only, when operated and

used with due care and attention.

When handing over this implement your dealer has already instructed you

with regard to operation, adjustment and maintenance. But this short intro-

duction requires an additional detailed study of the instruction book.

Therefore read this instruction book carefully before the first use. Please pay

attention to the safety instructions mentioned in this instruction book.

Any changes and modifications carried out not being mentioned expressly in

this instruction book, may only be carried out with a written agreement of the

manufacturer.

Ordering spare-parts

When ordering spare-parts please state type and serial No. of the implement.

This information will be found on the identification plate.

Put down this data on the following table so that it is always available.

Only use genuine Lemken spare-parts. Spurious parts negatively influence

the function of the implement, show a shorter lifetime and increase in nearly

all cases additional maintenance.

We trust that you will understand that LEMKEN is unable to guarantee poor

operation and damage caused by using spurious parts!
