5 SAFETY INFORMATION
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 Tined Weeder Pro VS 600 M1 to VS 1200 M1 is designed and built for use in agricultural
operations.
Its tines penetrate in the soil and loosen it, and where applicable, remove any existing weeds.
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.
Examples of non-intended use include:

The implement may not be used on grassland, it is only designed for use on fields within the specified
framework conditions.

The maximum working speed is 12 km/h.

Driving in curves is not permitted.

The VS may not be pushed back when in working position. Rolling back must also absolutely be
avoided when starting to drive.

Attention must be paid that the side frames do not hit the ground when turning at the headlands.

Before parking the implement on the ground, it must be ensured that the tines are in transport position
and that the implement is aligned parallel to the ground (top link).

The implement may not be set down on the ground at a standstill when the tines are pre-tensioned in
working position. Setting down on the ground is only permitted while driving forward.
