1.3 Operational Safety
The machine is to be put in operation only
after instruction has been provided by an
employee of the authorised dealer or an
employee of Great Plains. The “Machine
Registration” form is to be completed and
returned to your dealer.
All protective and safety equipment, such
as removable protective equipment, must
be in place and functioning reliably before
the machine is put in use.
Check screws and bolts regularly
for tightness and retighten if
necessary.
In the event of malfunctions,
stop and secure the machine
immediately.
Ensure that any faults are
remedied immediately.
1.4 No Liability for
Consequential Damage
The Simba DTX has been manufactured
by Great Plains with great care. However,
problems may still occur when it is used for
the intended purpose. These may include:
• Worn wearing parts.
• Damage caused by external factors.
• Incorrect driving speeds.
• Incorrect setting of the unit (incorrect
attachment, non-adherence to the Setting
instructions).
Therefore, it is crucial to
always check your machine
before and during operation for
correct operation and adequate
application accuracy.
Compensation claims for damage which
has not occurred to the machine is
excluded. This includes any consequential
damage resulting from incorrect operation.
1.2 Use for the Intended
Purpose
The Great Plains Simba DTX is built using
the latest technology and in accordance
with the relevant recognised safety
regulations. However, risks of injury for the
operator or third parties and impairment of
the machine or other tangible assets can
arise during use.
The machine is only to be operated when
in a technically perfect condition and for the
intended purpose, taking into consideration
safety and risks and following the
Operating Instructions. In particular, faults
that can impair safety are to be remedied
immediately.
Original parts and accessories from Great
Plains have been specially designed for
this machine. Spare parts and accessories
not supplied by us have not been tested
or authorised. Installation or use of non-
original Great Plains products may have
a detrimental effect on specific design
features of the machine and affect the
safety of machine operators and the
machine itself. Great Plains will accept no
liability for damage resulting from the use
of non-original parts or accessories .
The Great Plains Simba DTX is designed
solely as a cultivation implement. Use for
any other purpose, e.g., as a means of
transport, will be deemed to be improper
use. Great Plains will accept no liability for
damage resulting from improper use. The
risk will be borne solely by the operator.
Use of the Simba DTX behind high power
tractors (in excess of 40% above the
maximum recommended) can lead to high
loads and stresses which can cause long
term structural damage to the chassis and
key components. Such overloading can
compromise safety and is to be avoided.
