Foreword

Dear Customer,

You have chosen one of the quality products from the wide product range of AMAZONEN-WERKE,

H. DREYER GmbH & Co. KG. We thank you for your trust in our products.

On receiving the implement, check to see if it has been damaged during transport or if parts are miss-

ing. Using the delivery note, check that the implement has been delivered in full, including any special

equipment ordered. Damage can only be rectified if problems are claimed immediately.

Before initial operation, read and comply with the information in this operating manual, and particularly

the safety instructions. Only after careful reading will you be able to benefit from the full scope of your

newly purchased implement.

Please ensure that all the implement operators have read this operating manual before they put the

implement into operation.

Should you have any questions or problems, please consult this operating manual or contact your

local service partner.

Regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn or damaged parts increases the service life of

your implement.

1 User information

The User information section provides information concerning the operating manual.

This operating manual is valid for all versions of the implement.

Figures serve as a reference and are to be understood as representations of the principle.

All of the equipment is described without indicating it as special equipment. A description may be pro-

vided for equipment that is not fitted on the implement or is only available in certain markets. The sales

documents provide information on the equipment of your implement or consult your service partner for

more detailed information.

All information in this operating manual corresponds to the state of knowledge at the time of publica-

tion. Due to ongoing development of the implement, deviations are possible between the implement

and the information in this operating manual. No claims can be made based on differences in the

specifications, figures or descriptions.

If you want to sell the implement, ensure that the operating manual is supplied with the implement.

The operating manual

 describes the operation and maintenance of the implement

 provides important information on safe and efficient handling of the implement

 is an integral part of the implement and should always be kept with the implement or the towing

vehicle

 must be kept in a safe place for future use.

Activities to be carried out by the user are presented as numbered instructions. Always observe the

sequence of the instructions. The reaction to instructions is given by an arrow. Example:

1. Instruction 1

 Reaction of the implement to handling instruction 1

2. Instruction 2

Listings without a mandatory sequence are presented as a listing with bullets.

Example:  Point 1

 Point 2

Numbers in round brackets refer to the item numbers in the illustrations. The first number refers to the

diagram and the second number to the item.

Example: (Fig. 3/6) = Figure 3 / Position 6

All the directions specified in the operating manual are always viewed in the direction of travel.

General Safety Instructions

2 General Safety Instructions

This section contains important information on safe operation of the

implement.

2.1 Obligations and liability

Comply with the instructions in the operating manual

Knowledge of the basic safety information and safety regulations is a

basic requirement for safe handling and fault-free implement opera-

tion.

Obligations of the operator

The operator is obliged only to let those people work with/on the im-

plement who

 are aware of the basic workplace safety information and accident

prevention regulations

 have been trained in working with/on the implement

 have read and understood this operating manual.

The operator is obliged

 to keep all the warning symbols on the implement in a legible

state

 to replace damaged warning symbols.

Obligations of the user

Before starting work, anyone charged with working with/on the ma-

chine is obliged

 to comply with the basic workplace safety instructions and acci-

dent prevention regulations

 to read and understand the "General safety information" section

of this operating manual

 to read the section "Warning symbols and other labels on the

implement" in this operating manual and to follow the safety in-

structions represented by the warning symbols when operating

the implement

 to get to know the implement

 to read the sections of this operating manual, important for carry-

ing out your work.

If the user discovers that a function is not working properly, then they

must eliminate this fault immediately. If this is not the task of the user

or if the user does not have the appropriate technical knowledge, then

they should report this fault to their superior (operator).

General Safety Instructions

12 Cataya Super BAH0105-1 02.20

Risks in handling the implement

The implement has been constructed to the state-of-the art and the

recognised rules of safety. However, operating the implement may

cause risks and restrictions

 the health and safety of the user or third persons

 the implement itself

 other property.

Only use the implement

 for the purpose for which it was intended

 in a perfect state of repair.

Eliminate any faults immediately which could impair safety.

Guarantee and liability

Our "General conditions of sales and delivery" are always applicable.

These shall be available to the operator, at the latest on conclusion of

the contract. Guarantee and liability claims for damage to people or

property will be excluded if they can be traced back to one or more of

the following causes:

 Improper use of the implement

 Improper installation, commissioning, operation and mainte-

nance of the implement

 Operation of the implement with defective safety equipment or

improperly attached or non-functioning safety and protective

equipment

 Non-compliance with the instructions in the operating manual

regarding commissioning, operation and maintenance

 Unauthorised design changes to the implement

 Insufficient monitoring of implement parts which are subject to

wear

 Improperly executed repairs

 Disasters due to the effects of foreign objects and force majeure.

General Safety Instructions

Cataya Super BAH0105-1 02.20 13

2.2 Representation of safety symbols

Safety instructions are indicated by the triangular safety symbol and the highlighted signal word. The

signal word (DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION) describes the severity of the risk, and carries the fol-

lowing meaning:

DANGER

Indicates an immediate hazard with high risk, which will result in death

or serious bodily harm (loss of limbs or long-term harm), if it is not

avoided.

If the instructions are not followed, then this will result in immediate

death or serious physical injury.

WARNING

1) A person who can assume a specific task and who can carry out this task for an appropriately

qualified company.

2) Instructed persons are those who have been instructed in their assigned tasks and in the possi-

ble risks in the case of improper behaviour, have been trained if necessary, and have been in-

formed about the necessary protective equipment and measures.

3) Persons with specialised technical training shall be considered as a specialist. Due to their spe-

cialist training and their knowledge of the appropriate regulations, they can evaluate the work with

which they have been charged and detect possible dangers.

Comment:

A qualification equivalent to specialist training can be obtained from several years' experience in

the relevant field.

Only a specialist workshop may carry out maintenance and repair

work on the implement, if such work is additionally marked "Work-

shop". The personnel of a specialist workshop shall possess the ap-

propriate knowledge and suitable aids (tools, lifting and support

equipment) for carrying out the maintenance and repair work on the

proval or approval for road transport according to the German road traffic regulations must be in the

state specified by the approval.

WARNING

through the failure of support parts.

It is strictly forbidden to

 drill holes in the frame or on the running gear

 increase the size of existing holes on the frame or the running gear
