both in chapter “Basic safety instructions” and directly in the chapters of the operating

instructions.

The machine may be used only by people who satisfy the personnel qualification requirements

designated by the machine manufacturer.

These operating instructions are part of the machine and must therefore be at hand when the

machine is in use. The machine may be operated only when the operator has received training

and in compliance with these operating instructions.

If the machine is used for applications which are not described in these operating instructions,

this may result in serious injuries or death and damage to the machine and other property.

Unauthorised modifications to the machine may affect the properties of the machine or disrupt

the proper operation. For this reason, unauthorised modifications shall exclude any liability of

the manufacturer for consequential damage.

The intended use shall also include the adherence to the operating, maintenance and repair

conditions set by the manufacturer.

Safety

15

3.3 Reasonably foreseeable misuse

Any use beyond the intended use, see chapter Safety, “Intended use”, is regarded as improper

use and is therefore misuse according to the Machinery Directive. The manufacturer is not liable

for damage resulting from this, the user alone bears the risk.

Such misuse is for example:

– Processing of crops which are outside the intended use of the machine, see chapter Safety,

“Intended use”

– Transportation of people

– Transportation of goods

information in the operating instructions

– Unauthorised modifications to the machine

– Attachment of unauthorised or unapproved additional equipment

– Use of spare parts which are not KRONE original spare parts

– Stationary operation of the machine

Unauthorised modifications to the machine may affect the properties of the machine or disrupt proper

operation. For this reason, unauthorised modifications will release the manufacturer from any liability for

consequential damage.

3.4 Service life of the machine

– The service life of this machine strongly depends on proper use and maintenance as well as

the operating conditions.

– Permanent operational readiness as well as long service life of the machine can be

achieved by observing the instructions and notes of these operating instructions.

– After each season of use, the machine must be checked thoroughly for wear and other

damage.

– Damaged and worn parts must be replaced before placing the machine into service again.
