INTRODUCTION
Read this manual carefully to learn how to correctly operate and service your harvester. Failure
to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
This manual should be considered a permanent part of your machine and should remain with the
harvester.
Measurements in this manual are given in both customary US units and metric equivalents. Use
only specified replacement parts and fasteners. Inch and metric fasteners require a specific inch or
metric wrench or socket.
Right-hand and left-hand sides are determined by facing in the direction of forward travel.
All information, illustrations, specifications, and recommendations in this manual are based on
the latest information available at the time of publication. CAMECO reserves the right to make changes
at any time without notice or obligation.
Write the product serial number in a secure place away from the harvester. An appropriate place
would be in the parts manual since it is recommended to have your serial number available when ordering
parts. This number will also aid in tracing the harvester in the event that it is stolen.
Carefully read all safety messages in this manual and on your harvester. Precautionary statements
like CAUTION and IMPORTANT are followed by specific instructions for personal and machine safety.
Please take time to read them.

INTRODUCING THE HARVESTER
Topper
Severs the top leaves from the cane.
Crop Divider
Separates rows of down or tangled cane. It uses
dual croplift scrolls that turn in a screwing motion to pick-
up the down cane and separates it from the next row.
Power Knockdown Roller
Pushes cane into optimal position for feeding. Also
helps in feeding heavily lodged cane into the throat and to
prevent the cane from getting hung-up on the front of the
harvester.
