2.1 Introduction

Dear customer and user,
Thank you for the confidence you demonstrated by purchasing our product. You have become the owner of a machine from a broad
range of gardening, farming, small agricultural, and municipal machinery and tools, produced by VARI Company, j.s.c.
The Hurricane F-550 brush cutter represents the latest advance in clearing unmaintained land. Innovative features include a
replaceable mowing cover made from hot-dip galvanized sheet metal, which among others, makes it revolutionary; as such, it does not
presently have a direct market competitor in the field of brush removal. Its low centre of gravity, its precise balancing, and high motor
output preordain it for use in even the most demanding conditions. The Hurricane F-550 will almost certainly impress you, when you see
everything that it is able to mow.
Please read through this user manual thoroughly before use. The product will service you reliably for many years to come, provided that
you follow the instructions provided.
