8. Maintenance
Timely and correct maintenance of the machine is of great importance for an optimal service life of
the machine. Any defects can then be found at an early stage, so as to prevent consequential
damage or loss. Peeters Landbouwmachines B.V. does not accept any responsibility for direct or
consequential damage or loss resulting from poor maintenance. It is advised to schedule
maintenance in accordance with the periodic maintenance schedule, or earlier in case of intensive
use. The required precautions to prevent accidents must be taken during all maintenance activities.
