The user is obliged to check the machine for visible damage and defects before using the machine.
For safety reasons it is not permitted to make changes or adjustments to the machine (except those
approved by the manufacturer). If modifications to the machine have been made, then the current CE
marking is cancelled. The person that has made these modifications has to apply for a new CE
marking himself.
Following the use, maintenance and repair instructions prescribed by the manufacturer is also
considered proper use of this machine.
The user is responsible for the safe combination of the machine and the towing vehicle, which comply
with the requirements as described in the Technical Data (see Chapter 2). This entire combination
