5 Safety instructions
This chapter contains general rules of conduct for the intended use of the implement and safety-
related information that should always be observed for your safety.
The list is very extensive, and some of the information does not apply exclusively to the delivered
implement. However, the summary of the information often reminds you of unconsciously neglected
safety regulations for the everyday operation of machines and implements.
The general accident prevention regulations of the respective countries must be observed. Always
secure the parked implement against unintentional rolling. The implement may only be used by persons
who are informed of the hazards and who know the regulations for transport on public roads.
5.1 Intended use
The implement is designed solely for normal use in agricultural operations (intended use).
Any other use is considered to be non-intended. The manufacturer is not liable for any resulting damage,
the operator alone bears the associated risk.
Intended use also includes compliance with the conditions for operation, maintenance, and repairs
prescribed by the manufacturer.
The implement may only be used, maintained and repaired by persons who have relevant experience
and were instructed on the risks. The safety instructions must also be handed over to other users.
The applicable accident prevention regulations as well as the other generally safety-related,
occupational health and road traffic regulations must also be observed.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from unauthorised modifications and the use of
components and auxiliary parts.
The implement is intended for operation at temperatures between +5°C and +40°C.
The rotary hoe is intended for operation outdoors during dry weather. Water penetration must be
avoided. Do not use the rotary hoe in rainy conditions!
