1. Safety Data
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 Simba 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.
1.3.1 No Liability for
Consequential Damage
The Flatliner 500 has been manufactured
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 Simba Great Plains Flatliner 500 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
Simba 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 Simba 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. Simba Great Plains will
accept no liability for damage resulting from
the use of non-original parts or accessories
.
The Simba Great Plains Flatliner 500 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. Simba Great Plains will accept no
liability for damage resulting from improper
use. The risk will be borne solely by the
operator.
Use of the Flatliner 500 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.
