2. SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION
The warranty never covers maintenance service
expenses unless foreseen in the contract (sched-
uled assistance, good operation warranty, etc.).
- Improper operations. For example:
failure to comply with all the indications con-
tained in this manual. This category includes
problems caused by negligence or errors by the
operator (such as using the machine contrary
to national laws, inadequate maintenance, use
by untrained personnel, failure to comply with
instructions, especially those in the "Safety"
chapter or marked with the "DANGER" symbol,
etc.);
using the machine despite having noticed evident
defects.
- Treatment of unsuitable materials (due to size
and/or type).
- Transport and/or handling.
- Environmental or climatic conditions. For exam-
ple rain, lightning, freezing, contamination.
- Corrosion and standard wear (which objects such
as hammers, belts, paint, etc. are subject to)
- Modifications or adjustments not specifically
allowed in the manual or without written consent
of the manufacturer.
- Use of non-original spare parts or accessories or
not authorised by the manufacturer.
- use of the machine contrary to national laws;
- failure to comply with the instructions;
- unauthorised changes to the machine;
- use of the machine by untrained or
unfit personnel (see point 2.1);
- Use of different types of spare parts (with differ-
ent features)
Also remember that, regardless of whether or not
a problem occurs, the warranty becomes null and
void in case of:
Therefore damage caused by the following is not included:
Do not use the appliance be-
fore having read or illustrated
the instruction manual. The
attachments are an integral
part of the manual.
2.1 Operator qualification

guaranteeing the following requirements:
The person in charge of delivery to the end
customer must watch over the tractor hitching

equipment and how to use it correctly;
- be sensitive to safety-related issues, promptly
reporting any failures.
2.2 Introduction to safety at work
2.3 Safety rules and residual risks
Safety was the primary objective
when designing the machine; nonetheless opera-
tors' carelessness can invalidate the efforts of the
designers.
The machine was designed and built with the
intention of eliminating as many risks as possible
for the user.
However, considering the variability of the situ-
ations as well as foreseeable misuse, there are
residual risks which cannot be eliminated, either
for functional purposes or because they do not
depend directly on the machine.
Information on residual risks is aimed at guaran-
teeing that the user take the protective measures
which, for example, can include adopting safe
work procedures, restricting tasks to trained and
authorised operators, etc.
We shall describe some of these risks, highlight-
ing some, and not necessarily all, important rec-
ommendations for each one: further recommen-
dations (or these) are included in other chapters,
either general or related to a specific operation.
Thereby SEPPI M. S.p.A. will not be held liable in
case of:
