ting to know your machine and using it correctly

cation during work, care)

We reserve the right to alter illustrations as well

Consequential damage
The machine has been manufactured by

the intended use deviations in placing quantity
up to total failure may be caused by e.g.:
• damage caused by external in󰘱uences
• wear of wear items
• missing or damaged cultivation tools
• Incorrect travel speeds
• incorrect setting of the unit (incorrect connec-
tion, non-observance of setting tables)
• Disregard of the operating instructions
• neglect and improper care and maintenance
Therefore, it is crucial to always check your ma-
chine before and during use for correct operation
and adequate application accuracy.
Compensation claims for damages that have
not occurred on the machine are excluded. This
also means that any liability for consequential
damages caused by travel and operating faults
is excluded.
