3 Safety 3.1 General Information 67079 The combine harvester takes the grain from the front attachment and conveys it via a conveying unit to the threshing and separating units. There, the grains are separated from straw and chaff. The straw and chaff are deposited on the field using the distribution units behind the combine harvester. The grain is stored tem- porarily in the combine harvester's grain tank and then loaded on a transport vehicle by a conveying unit.
When the combine harvester is driven on public roads, a front attachment approved by the manufacturer can be fitted on the front, depending on the applicable reg- ulations, and driven with the combine harvester, or a trailer approved by the manufacturer that is loaded with the front attachment can be coupled to the trailer hitch and towed. The machine may only be used, maintained and serv- iced by persons who are familiar with the machine and briefed on the hazards that may arise as a result of the machine's functions.
Compliance with the conditions of operation, mainte- nance and servicing as specified in the operator's manual and by the manufacturer also constitute essential elements for the intended use. The relevant accident prevention regulations, all other generally recognised regulations on safety and occu- pational medicine and the road traffic regulations must be observed by users and owners at all times. Any use other than this is considered "unintended", and the manufacturer is not liable for any resulting damage. All liability in this case is borne by the user. For specific details, you may request information on intended use in exceptional situations from CLAAS.
106464 3.1.4 Reasonable foreseeable misuse Use outside of intended use constitutes use not intended by the manufacturer of the machine and therefore amounts to misuse for the purposes of the machinery directive. The manufacturer accepts no lia- bility for damage resulting from this. All liability is borne by the user. Misuse of the CLAAS combine harvester includes:
Use of areas and premises that are not described in the operator's manual as workplaces Performance of adjustment work, cleaning work and maintenance work against the specifications in the operator's manual Performance of fault elimination and servicing work with drives and/or the diesel engine running Nonobservance of warning signs on the machine and in the operator's manual Performance of servicing and repair work by untrained personnel Unauthorised modifications to the machine 00 0293 210 2 - BA DOMINATOR 150/140/130 - 12/09 35
