Operating Instructions
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. The “Machine
Registration” form is to be completed and
returned to SIMBA.
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 CultiPress has been manufactured by
SIMBA 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 CultiPress is built using the latest
technology and in accordance with the rele-
vant 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
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 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 will
accept no liability for damage resulting from
the use of non-original parts or accessories
.
The SIMBA CultiPress 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 will
accept no liability for damage resulting from
improper use. The risk will be borne solely by
the operator.
Use of the Cultipress 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.
