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 SL 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 Great Plains SL 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 SL 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 SL 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.
