3.1.3 Intended use
The CLAAS combine harvester is designed exclusively
for professional use in line with the recognised regula-
tions of agricultural practices in agricultural harvesting
of grain.
The combine harvester is a self-propelled harvesting
machine with a fitted front attachment (machine),
which is approved by the manufacturer, and is suitable
and intended for harvesting grain in fields during
travel. Grain here refers to cultivated cereal and leg-
ume crops such as wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice, rape
seed, maize, durra, soya beans and sunflowers.
The combine harvester takes the grain from the front
attachment and conveys it via a conveying unit to the
threshing and separating units. There, the grains are
separated from straw and chaff. The straw and chaff
are deposited on the field using the distribution units
behind the combine harvester. The grain is stored tem-
porarily in the combine harvester's grain tank and then
loaded on a transport vehicle by a conveying unit.
When the combine harvester is driven on public roads,
a front attachment approved by the manufacturer can
be fitted on the front, depending on the applicable reg-
ulations, and driven with the combine harvester, or a
trailer approved by the manufacturer that is loaded
with the front attachment can be coupled to the trailer
hitch and towed.
The machine may only be used, maintained and serv-
iced by persons who are familiar with the machine and
briefed on the hazards that may arise as a result of the
machine's functions.
Compliance with the conditions of operation, mainte-
nance and servicing as specified in the operator's
manual and by the manufacturer also constitute
essential elements for the intended use.
The relevant accident prevention regulations, all other
generally recognised regulations on safety and occu-
pational medicine and the road traffic regulations must
be observed by users and owners at all times.
Any use other than this is considered "unintended",
and the manufacturer is not liable for any resulting
damage. All liability in this case is borne by the user.
For specific details, you may request information on
intended use in exceptional situations from CLAAS.
