SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Always use the VERTI-DRAIN with the correct tractor as described in the
technical information
2. The user is responsible for a safe Tractor/VERTI-DRAIN combination.
The combination must be tested for noise, safety, risk and easy usage. It is
also necessary to draw up user instructions.
3. The VERTI-DRAIN is suited exclusively to grass fields.
4. Every VERTI-DRAIN user must be fully informed of the information
contained in the user manual.
5. Inspect the ground where the VERTI-DRAIN is to be applied. Remove
loose obstacles, avoid uneven ground.
6. Never step off the tractor if the engine is still running.
7. Ensure that other people are standing at least 4 mtr. (14' ) away from the
VERTI-DRAIN while the machine is in use.
8. Use appropriate clothing. Wear strong shoes with a steel inforced toe cap,
long trousers, tie up long hair. Do not have any loose pieces of clothing.
9. Never try to force the VERTI-DRAIN, a situation which is visible in the
partial loosening of the front roller from the ground and unstable behavior of
the VERTI-DRAIN.
10. Check the VERTI-DRAIN once a week to ensure there are no loose screws
or nuts and bolts.
11. The VERTI-DRAIN may never be used without protection covers and
safety stickers.
12. NEVER crawl underneath the VERTI-DRAIN. If you need to work
underneath, turn the VERTI-DRAIN on its front.
13. Always switch off the engine and uncouple the power take off, before
starting any maintenance, adjustment or repair. Also block the VERTI-DRAIN
against sinking and block it against forward/backward movement or sliding.
14. Use only the original VERTI-DRAIN spare parts/ tines in order to ensure
the safe operation of the machine.
15. Never use the VERTI-DRAIN in the dark, in heavy rain, on frozen ground,
stormy conditions or on slopes greater than 20 degrees.
16. Before operating the machine, also read the instructions and the
maintenance information for the power take off. This component has its
own certification mark.
17. Maintain a log book of repairs.
18. If any modifications are carried out on the machine the CE certification
mark will be no longer valid. The User/Dealer himself must then have the
machine re-certified.
