WARRANTY
As stated on the warranty certificate you receive when you purchased
the machine, a one year warranty is offered which covers all
malfunctioning parts where the fault is demonstrated as being due to a
structural or material defect. Claims under the warranty should be
made within three days of the fault's occurrence enclosing the receipt
and warranty certificate. The warranty provides for the gratuitous
replacement of defective parts. Damage caused by improper treatment,
non-observance of the operating instructions, insufficient care or
external influences is not covered by the warranty. Careful observance
of the instructions contained in the operating instructions is,
therefore, a precondition for perfect machine operation.
Improper operation leads to malfunctions which are not covered in the
warranty.

RIGHT - HAND AND LEFT - HAND sides are determined by facing the
direction the implement will travel when going forward.
WRITE PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (P.I.N.) in the Specification or
Identification Numbers section. Accurately record all the numbers to
help in tracing the machine should it be stolen. Your dealer also
needs these numbers when you order parts. File the identification
numbers in a secure place off the machine.
BEFORE DELIVERING THIS MACHINE, your dealer performed a predelivery
inspection to ensure best performance.

Search for leaks with a piece
of cardboard. Protect hands and
body from high pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a
doctor immediately. Any fluid
injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few
hours or gangrene may result.
Doctors unfamiliar with this

2.0. Construction and Method of Operation
2.1. Construction
GREENS TERRA SPIKE consists of
the following parts:
x
Welded machine body
x
Drive
xAdjustable tools
Three gear speeds can be selected
on GREENS TERRA SPIKE.
2.2. Method of Operation
GREENS TERRA SPIKE is hauled by
the tractor and driven by means
of a PTO shaft.
A gear unit inside GREENS TERRA
SPIKE provides for movement of
the tines.
The moving tines are plunged
into the soil.
The angle of entry is adjustable.
With an angle of entry of 90° at
low speed the punched holes are
almost vertical.
With a smaller entry angle
the tines are sluiced in the soil
due to the forward movement.
This breaks up the soil.
The smaller the entry angle,
the more the soil is broken up
(effective down to 70°).
2.3. Product warranty
We are bound by law to warranty
our products starting with
the delivery.
This serves your safety.
Please immediately inform
us about:
x Defects of the safety devices.
x Repeated malfunctions.
x Altered setting.
x Problems in handling the
GREENS TERRA SPIKE.
