Preface

■ To the reader
These operating and maintenance instructions will help you get to know and appreciate the perform-
ance and quality of your snow groomer.
Proper use of the snow groomer and conscientious maintenance are essential to ensure operational
availability.
A hardcover copy of these operating and maintenance instructions is supplied with each snow groom-
er and must always be kept close at hand in the driver's cab behind the driver's seat. It should be con-
sidered an essential part of the snow groomer and its safety equipment.
These operating and maintenance instructions must be read carefully and all technical details under-
stood.
To keep your snow groomer always in serviceable condition, make sure that the necessary mainte-
nance work is carried out regularly at the specified intervals. The servicing dates and intervals as well
as the maintenance instructions as specified by PRINOTH apply. The warranty obligation is immedi-
ately void in the case of damage to or removal of the lead seals on hydraulic valves and control units!
All warranty obligations lapse in the following cases:
■ Failure to carry out the specified maintenance work
■ Missing completed check sheets
■ Damage or faults due to servicing work and/or settings not authorised by PRINOTH
■ Installation of non-approved components or use of third party spare parts
Please note that regular inspection and maintenance work can prevent unexpected and unnecessary
downtime.
Report any problems with the snow groomer or its attachments to Prinoth approved repair and mainte-
nance personnel. If there is a possibility of consequential damage, the snow groomer must be taken
out of service until the fault has been corrected.
The technical details for this snow groomer were up to date as of these operating and maintenance
instructions' copy date. As part of our ongoing development programme, we reserve the right to make
technical changes to our products. PRINOTH will endeavour to always keep the information in these
operating and maintenance instructions up to date.
By following these instructions, you will ensure that your snow groomer has a long service life and re-
mains in proper working condition.

General

When operating a snow groomer, hazards can occur due to the vehicle itself and to the working envi-
ronment, e.g., vehicle movements, operation of attachments, terrain formations, weather conditions,
and risks of avalanche.
These operating and maintenance instructions advise about possible risks and provide guidelines that
will help prevent injury and damage to property.
These hazards can be minimized by correct and level-headed action on the part of operating per-
sonnel.
