The self-propelled high-performance mower conditioner is a self-propelled work machine with
three disc mowers and integrated mower conditioners. The self-propelled high-performance
mower conditioner is intended for use in agriculture. The self-propelled high-performance
mower conditioner is used to mow various living grasses and legumes (from the initial stage to
the end of the photosynthetic process).
The three mowing units can be used individually or together, thereby making it possible to
adjust the working width as required. The integrated mower conditioners accelerate the drying
process of the mowed crop.

Any usage outside of intended use (as described above) constitutes non-intended use and
therefore represents misuse as defined by the Machinery Directive. The manufacturer shall not
be held liable for any resulting damages. The user alone shall be liable.

Examples of such misuse are:
• Mowing undergrowth and bushes
• Mowing non-living plants such as straw or maize stalks
• Mowing woody or highly fibrous plants such as trees, cotton stalks or sugar cane

Unauthorised modifications to the machine may have a negative effect on the machine
characteristics or safe and reliable use of the machine or may interfere with proper operation.
Unauthorised modifications shall therefore release the manufacturer of any liability for
consequential damage.
