may result.
1. The machine must only be used by professionals and must first be professionally
adjusted for use on the ground that is to be treated.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability with regard to damage resulting from
non-professional use; all resulting risks are the responsibility of the user.

use, maintenance and repair.
Before using the Verti-Groom, inspect the area to be treated.
Remove any loose obstacles and avoid irregularities.
2. The Verti-Groom is constructed according to the latest technological knowledge and
is safe to use.
Improper use, maintenance or repair of the machine may result in injury to both the

Always use the Verti-Groom in combination with the proper tractor, as described in
the technical data.
3. All persons whom the owner assigns to operate, maintain or repair the Verti-Groom
must read and have completely understood the operating manual and in particular the
Safety Instructions section.
The user is responsible for a safe tractor/Verti-Groom combination. This unit
must be tested in terms of noise, safety and ease-of-use. In addition, user’s
instructions must be prepared.
4. Before using the Verti-Groom, the user is obliged to inspect it for visible damage
and defects.
Any changes to the Verti-Groom (including its functioning) that may affect its safety
must be corrected immediately.
For reasons of safety, it is in principle forbidden to make changes or additions to the
Verti-Groom (with the exception of those approved by the manufacturer).
If any modifications are made to the Verti-Groom, the present CE certificate
becomes null and void and the person who made the modifications must himself
make sure a new CE certificate is granted.
