TO OUR CUSTOMER

The following pages and illustrations are printed to

help supply you with the knowledge to better ope-

rate and service your F61 or F63 Rotary Corn At-

tachment.

Any piece of equipment needs, and must have a

certain amount of service and maintenance to keep

it in top running condition. We have attempted to

cover all the adjustments required to t most condi-

tions; however, there may be times when special

care must be taken to t a condition.

Study this operator’s manual carefully and become

acquainted with all the adjustments and operating

procedures before attempting to operate your new

equipment. Remember, it is a machine and it has

been designed and tested to do an efcient job in

most operating conditions and will perform in rela-

tion to the service it receives.

If special attention is required for some conditions,

ask your Dion Dealer; his parts and Service Organi-

zation will be glad to help and answer any questions

on operation and service of your new machine.
