FOREWORD
Congratulations on your Verti-Top purchase! For safe and long-lasting operation of this
Verti-Top, it is necessary to read and to understand this user manual. It is impossible to
work safely with this machine without complete knowledge of its content.
The Verti-Top is not a machine that works independently. It is the user’s responsibility to use
the correct tractor. The user must also check the tractor/Verti-Top combination on safety
aspects such as noise level, user instructions and risk analysis.
The following pages deal initially with the general safety instructions. Every user should
know these safety instructions and apply them. At the end of this page, a registration card is
inserted. This registration card should be returned to enable us to deal with potential future
claims.
This user manual lists many instructions that are numbered in sequence. You should follow
this sequence. A is an indication of a safety instruction. A means a tip and/or note.
All information and technical specifications provided at the moment that this document is
published are the most recent ones. Design specifications may be changed without prior
notice.
This document is a translation of the original operating instructions.
Upon request, the original operating instructions are available in Dutch.

the safety instructions described in this
manual.
Read and understand (Figure 1) the manual
before you start using the Verti-Top.
If the machine is not used as described in this
manual, this can result in injuries and/or
damage to the Verti-Top.
(1) The user must be an expert in using the machine. The machine
should be professionally adjusted for cultivating the subsoil.
The manufacturer will not accept any liability for unprofessional use
and its resulting damage. All risks occurring with this are entirely at
the expense of the user.
Not following the use, maintenance and repair instructions prescribed
by the manufacturer is also considered improper/unprofessional use
of this machine.
Inspect the area to be treated before using the Verti-Top.
Remove loose obstacles and avoid irregularities.
(2) The Verti-Top is manufactured according to the latest technical
understanding and is safe to use.
When careless people use, maintain or repair the machine, danger of
injuries to the user and to third parties can be the result. This must be
avoided!
Always use the Verti-Top in combination with the correct tractor as
described in the technical data.
(3) All persons assigned to operate, maintain and repair the Verti-Top by
the owner must completely read and understand the operation manual
and in particular the chapter of Safety Instructions.
The user is responsible for a safe Tractor/Verti-Top combination.
This entire combination must be tested on noise, safety, risk and
user friendliness. User instructions should also be drafted.

defects before using the Verti-Top.

modifications has to apply for a new CE marking himself.
Check the Verti-Top for loose bolts, nuts and components before
every operation.
If present, check the hydraulic pipelines regularly and replace these
when the hydraulic pipelines are damaged or appear old. The

safety stickers.

These safety stickers must always be clearly visible and legible and
must be replaced in case they have become damaged.
