Product liability, information obligation

Product liability obliges manufacturers and dealers to issue operating instructions for the machine at the point of sale and to instruct

the customer on the operation, safety and maintenance regulations governing the machine.

Confirmation is required to prove that the machine and the operating instructions have been properly handed over. For this purpose

you have received a confirmation e-mail from Pöttinger. If you have not received this mail, please contact your local dealer. Your

dealer can fill in the handover declaration online.

For the purposes of product liability law, every farmer is an entrepreneur.

In the terms of product liability law, damage to property is any damage arising due to the machine, but not to the machine, and an

excess (500 euros) exists for this liability.

Corporate damage to property within the terms of the product liability law is excluded from this liability.

Be advised!

The operating instructions must also be handed over with any subsequent machine sale or transfer and the transferee

must be instructed in the regulations stated.

Pöttinger - Trust creates Afnity - since 1871

Tractor

The following tractor requirements are necessary to operate this machine:

- Tractor output:

34KW/45HP and 75kW/100HP

max. 3500 kg tare weight

- Hitching:

Lower linkage Cat. II and Cat. III

Lifting gear with single-action hydraulics (lifting gear must be switched to

floating position

for operation)

- Connections:

see Table "Hydraulic and electrical connections required"

Lifting unit (three-point linkage)

-

The tractor’s lifting unit (three-point linkage) must be

designed for the occurring load. (See technical data)

-

The lifting struts must be set at the same length using

the relevant adjusting equipment

(See the tractor manufacturer’s operating manual)

-

Select the rear position if the lifting rods can be set in

various positions on the lower link. This relieves the

pressure on the tractor’s hydraulic system.

-

The limiting chains and/or stabilisers for the lower

linkage must be adjusted so that lateral movement

of

the hitched implements is

not

possible. (Safety measure

for transportation)
