3. Safety Information
This manual is provided to help you operate and maintain the
Verticutter. Please read it carefully.
It has been compiled from extensive field experience and engineering
data.
In some aspects it is generalised because it is impossible to cover all
operating scenarios. However, combining the information provided in
this manual with your own increasing experience and knowledge with
the Verticutter will enable you to develop procedures suitable for your
individual needs.
The Verticutter, like most modern machinery, is constantly undergoing
development on the basis of experience and market needs. At the
time of printing, material in this manual was current but may vary due
to the aforementioned ongoing development.
Graden Industries reserve the right to change the machinery
