FOREWORD
TO OUR CUSTOMER
The following pages and illustrations are printed
to help supply you with the knowledge to better
operate and service your DION Forage Blower.
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 fit most conditions; however, there may be
times when special care must be taken to fit a
condition.
Study this operator’s manual carefully and
become acquainted with all the adjustments and
operating procedures before attempting to oper-
ate your new equipment. Remember, it is a
machine and it has been designed and tested to
do an efficient job in most operating conditions
and will perform in relation to the service it
receives.
If special attention is required for some condi-
tions, ask your DION Dealer; his parts and
Service Organization will be glad to help and
answer any questions on operation and service
of your new machine.

SAFETY
The safety of the operator is one of the main con-
cerns in designing and developing a new Forage
Blower. Designers build in as many safety fea-
tures as possible. However, every year many
accidents occur which could have been avoided
by a few seconds thought and a more careful
approach to handling farm machinery and imple-
ments.
Read and implement the safety instructions
detailed in the safety section of this manual.
