$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 understa nd 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. It therefore reserves the right to make improvements or
changes when it becomes practical to do so, without incurr ing any obligations to make changes or additions to
the equipment sold previously.

2. Safety instructions
Introduction
The operator must follow the safety instructions in this manual and in the machine's operator's manual as well
as respect the warnings posted on the machine.
Read and follow the safety instructions
Before using the control box, carefully read all safety
instructions in this manual.
The operator must be familiar with all machine controls
and their respective 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 certain
parts in this manual, please contact your KUHN dealer.
Precautions to take before using the
control box
Place the control box so that it cannot interfere with other
tractor controls and be activated inadvertently.
Before switching the control box on, check that nobody
is within the machine pivoting area: switching on the
control box can activate functions on the machine.
Precautions to take when using the control
box
Do not operate the control box while a person is carrying
out work on the machine.
Switch off control box before carrying out any
maintenance or repair work on the machine.

$Maintenance and storage
The control box does not require any particular
maintenance, in the case of a breakdown or a
malfunction call your KUHN repairman.
When cleaning the machine, never point the
water jet on the control box or the junction
box.
HECTOR 3000
For any welding operation on the machine,
disconnect the electricity supply of the
machine and the tractor (battery and
alternator).
Position the earth as close as possible to the
part to be welded. Never put it on the chassis
to weld on the body or vice-versa. This could
be fatal for the sensors which connect the
body to the chassis.
Washing with a high-pressure cleaner is
strongly advised against, as there is a risk of
water penetrating inside the junction box and
the sensors.
