The Verti-Core III
is designed to facilitate safe

safety instructions described in this manual are
observed without fail.
Read and understand
(Fig. 1)
the manual prior to
working with the Verti-Core III.
Failure to use the machine as described in the
manual can lead to a serious risk of physical
injury and/or damage to the Verti-Core III.
(1) The Verti-Core III is exclusively intended for the treatment of lawns or areas where grass should
be growing.
Any other use will constitute improper use. The manufacturer will not assume any liability for any
damage ensuing from improper use. Any risks involved in such improper use will be the full
responsibility of the user.
Proper use also includes the carrying out of operating, maintenance and repair instructions given
by the manufacturer.
Inspect the area you will be treating prior to using the Verti-Core III. Remove any loose obstacles
and avoid uneven areas.
(2) The Verti-Core III has been built in line with the latest technological advances to enable safe use.
Use, maintenance or repairs of the machine by untrained persons can give rise to a risk of injury
to the user and any bystanders.
Avoid this at all times!
Always use the Verti-Core III in combination with a suitable tractor as described in the technical
data.
(3) All persons assigned by the proprietor to operate, maintain or repair the Verti-Core III must first
have fully read and understood the user manual, and, in particular, the
Safety Instructions
chapter.
The user is responsible for a
safe Tractor/Verti-Core III combination. The combination must
be assessed
for noise levels, safety, risk and user-friendliness. User instructions for the
combination will also have to be drawn up.
(4) It is
obligatory
for the user to check the Verti-Core III for any
visible damage and defects
prior
to using it.
Changes to the Verti-Core III (including its functioning) that negatively affect safety, must be
remedied/undone right away.
Making any changes or additions to the Verti-Core III (except for those approved by the
manufacturer) is not permitted for reasons of safety.
If any
modifications
have been made to the Verti-Core III, its current CE mark will lapse, and the
party that implemented the modifications must secure a new
CE mark himself
.
