1.2 Statement of Machine Use
The Graden GBS 1200 Verticutter/Scarifier’s main use is as a
verticutting/scarifying/de-thatching tool on areas such as tennis courts,
bowling greens, cricket wickets, golf courses and other sporting fields.
It is not for use on turf areas where rocks and other hard foreign bodies
may be present. The use of this machine in turf profiles of this nature will
likely cause premature wear or shattering of the blades and blade tips
and could result in rocks being projected at dangerous speeds, resulting
in potential injury to the operator or damage to the machinery.
This machine is not for use in anything other than the soil profiles typically
to be found on the sporting fields mentioned above. Any use of this
machine in any other type of surface or for any other purpose may void
the warranty.
Please contact Graden Industries if you are unsure about your application
complying with the intended use of this machine.
