Safety instructions 

This  chapter  contains  general  rules  of  conduct  for  the  intended  use  of  the  implement  and 
safety-related information that should always be observed for your safety. 

 
The  list  is  very  extensive,  and  some  of the  information  does  not  apply  exclusively  to  the  delivered 
implement. However, the summary of the information often reminds you of unconsciously neglected 
safety regulations for the everyday operation of machines and implements. 

5.1  Intended use 

The Grassland Combi GK 400 M1 is intended as a rear-mounted implement and is designed 
and  built  for  use  in  agricultural  operations.  It  is  used  to  prepare  the  soil  for  subsequent 
tillage and use. 

 
Any  other  use  is  considered  to  be  non-intended.  The  manufacturer  is  not  liable  for  any  resulting 
damage, the operator alone bears the associated risk. 
 
Intended use also includes compliance with the conditions for operation, maintenance, and repairs 
prescribed by the manufacturer. 
 
The  implement  may  only  be  used,  maintained  and  repaired  by  persons  who  have  relevant 
experience  and  were  instructed  on  the  risks.  The  safety  instructions  must  also  be  handed  over  to 
other users. 
 
The applicable country-specific accident prevention regulations as well as the other generally safety-
related, occupational health and road traffic regulations must also be observed. 
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from unauthorised modifications and the use 
of components and auxiliary parts.
