TO THE OWNER

The purpose of this manual is to assist you in realizing the benefits you anticipated when you purch-
ased this International Harvester product.

The way you operate and the care you give this equipment will have much to do with its successful
performance. This manual has been carefully prepared and the information arranged and illustrated to
make it as easy as possible for you to find the information you wish. lt will pay you to read the entire
manual carefully before operating and keep it handy for future reference. Your International Dealer or
Distributor will be glad to answer any further questions you may have on the operation or care of this
product.
lt is the policy of International Harvester Company to improve its pr-oducts whenever it is possible
and practical to do so. We reserve the right to make changes or add improvements at any time without
incurring any obligation to make such changes on products sold previously.

WARRANTY PERIOD

The 1\Jotes contained in this Operator's Manual for proprietary items, such as electrical and fuel
injection equipment, have been compiled for use after the warranty period has expired. If attention, how-
ever small, is required to any of these items, whilst they are still within the warranty period, your
lnternatiorlal Dealer or Distributor should be informed.

SAFETY FIRST

To read accident reports from all over the country is to be convinced that a large number of accidents
can be prevented only by the operator anticipating the result before the accident is caused and doing
something about it. If accidents are to be p1evented - and they can be prevented- it will be done by
the operators who accept a full measure of their responsibility.

lt is true that the designer, !he manufacturer, the safety engineer can help; and they do help, b:.~t
their combined efforts car. be wiped out by a sinqle careless act of the operator.

lt is said that "the best kind of safety device is a careful operator." We ask you to be that kind of
operator.

If the operator after reading through this manual is 10 anyway uncertain how to operate <my part of the
machine with safety to himself and anyone else, then he should contact his iH dealer immediately.

ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED WITH YOUR HELP
