$Dear Owner

In buying a Kuhn machine you have chosen wisely. Into it have gone years of thought, research and

improvement. You will find, as have thousands of owners all over the world, that you have the best that

engineering skill and actual field testing can produce. You have purchased a dependable machine, but only

through proper care and operation can you expect to receive the performance and long service built into it.

This manual contains all the necessary information for you to receive full efficiency from your machine. The

performance you get from this machine is largely dependent on how well you read and understand this manual

and apply this knowledge. Please DO NOT ASSUME YOU KNOW HOW TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN YOUR

MACHINE before reading this manual carefully. KEEP THIS MANUAL AVAILABLE FOR REFERENCE. Pass

it on to the next owner if you re-sell the machine.

Your KUHN dealer can offer a complete line of genuine KUHN service parts. These parts are manufactured and

carefully inspected in the same factory that builds the machine to assure high quality and accurate fitting of any

necessary replacements.

About improvements

We are continually striving to improve our products. We therefore reserve the right to make improvements or

changes when it becomes practical to do so, without incurring any obligations to make changes or additions to

the equipment sold previously.

Wear parts

Wearing parts fitted on our machines have been tested in very different situations to optimize their service life.

Nevertheless, the service life depends highly on the conditions of use (products to handle, soil, weather

conditions, etc...).

Designated use of the machine

The GMD33 N mower must only be used for the purpose for which it was manufactured: mowing on the ground

of hay fields, grass silage fields and improved pastures for the purpose of harvesting fodder for feeding

livestock.

Document illustrations

The illustrations in this manual may be based on one type of machine only. However, all instructions apply to all

machines covered in this manual.

2. Safety instructions

Read and follow the safety instructions

Before using the machine, carefully read all the safety

instructions in this manual and the warnings placed on

the machine.

Before starting work, the operator must be familiar with

all machine controls, handling devices and their

functions. It is too late to learn once work has been

started!

Never let anyone operate the machine who is not trained

to do so.

Should you have any difficulties in understanding any

parts of this manual, please contact your KUHN dealer.

Precautions to be taken before carrying out

any operations on the machine

Before leaving the tractor or before adjusting,

maintaining or repairing the machine, disengage the

PTO drive, turn off the engine, remove ignition key and

wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop

and apply park brake.

Introduction

The machine must only be operated, maintained and repaired by competent persons who are familiar with

machines' specifications and operation and aware of safety regulations for preventing accidents.

The operator must imperatively respect safety instructions in this manual and in the warnings posted on the

machine. The operatoris also obligedto respect current legislation concerning accident prevention, work safety

and public traffic circulation.

Designated use of the machine also means following operation, maintenance and repair recommendations

given by the manufacturer, and using only genuine spare parts, equipment and accessories, as recommended

by the manufacturer.

The manufacturer is not held liable for any damage resulting from machine applications other than those

specified by the manufacturer. Any use other than the designated operation is at the risk and responsibility of

the operator.

The manufacturer is not held liable for any damage or accident resulting from machine modifications carried out

by the operator himself or by a third party without previous written agreement from the manufacturer.

Safety

Precautions to take before using the

machine

Do not wear loose clothing which could become caught

up in moving parts.

Wear the appropriate protective clothing for the work in

hand (gloves, shoes, goggles, helmet, ear defenders,

etc.).

Ensure that all operating controls (ropes, cables, rods,

etc) are placed so as they cannot be operated

unintentionally and cause damage or injury.

Before operating the machine, check tightness of nuts

and bolts, particularly on fixing elements (tines, forks,

blades, knives, etc). Retighten if necessary.

Before operating the machine, ensure that all the safety

guards are firmly in place and in good condition.

Immediately replace any worn or damaged guard.

Precautions when driving

Tractor handling, stability, performance and braking

efficiency are all affected by weight distribution, trailedor

mounted implements, additional ballast and driving

conditions. It is therefore of great importance that the

operator exercises caution in every given situation.

Groundspeed must be adapted to ground conditions as

well as to roads and paths. Always avoid abrupt changes

of direction.

Be particularly cautious when turning corners, paying

attention to machine overhang, length, height and

weight.

Never use a narrow track tractor on very uneven or

steeply sloping ground.

Never leave the tractor seat while the machine is

operating.

Carrying people or animals on the machine when

working or in transport is strictly forbidden.
