INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing a LH product.

Whilst developing the LH ”Intellitram” 500 we have tried to create an advanced
product that, at the same time, is easy to operate.

The LH ”Intellitram” 500 has many user selectable functions and meets therefore
almost all thinkable combinations of different working widths of seed drills and
cultivating equipment, i.e. field sprayers and fertiliser spreaders.

It is not essential to read the whole operators manual now, but to help you
start “communicating” with the computer, we recommend that you read the
“General operation” chapter before you turn the computer on.

It’s never a good idea to learn how to operate the computer on the first day that it
is to be used. We recommend therefore to “practice” to get used to “pushing
buttons” before the computer is to be used.

Many of the functions in the computer are self-explanatory. This eases operation
of the unit and allows you to operate the computer without this manual after a few
hours work. We do however recommend that this manual is “in reach” should you
be in doubt.

INTRODUCTION

Enjoy!

INTRODUCTION LH ”I

We have endeavoured to deliver a fault free product. To ensure optimal use of the
equipment we ask that great attention be paid when reading the manual. We are
more than happy to help should any queries arise, both when the product is used
for the first time and at any later date. Regarding responsibility for use of the
product we refer to our sales and delivery terms especially paragraph 7, which
follows:

7. Product usage.

7.1 Any use of the product is at the sole risk of the buyer. The buyer is
therefore not entitled to any form for compensation caused by, for example,
any of the following:

confirm to the standards for CE marking,

• Missing or poor signal coverage or a succession hereof from external

transmitters/receivers, used by the buyer,

• Functional faults, which apply to or from a PC-program or PC-

equipment, not delivered by the seller,

• Faults that may arise from the buyers negligence to react to warnings

and fault messages from the product, or which can be traced to
negligence and/or absent constant control of the work carried out in
comparison to the planned job.

7.2 When implementing any new equipment the buyer must take great care and pay
attention. Any doubts as to correct operation/use should result in
contacting the sellers service department.
