BW 900-2
Wet and loose soils reduce the ground adhesion of
the machine on gradients and slopes. Higher risk
of accident!
Behaviour in traffic
Match the speed of the machine to the working
conditions.
Always allow loaded transport vehicles to pass.
Switch the lights on when the visibility is poor.
Keep clear of edges and embankments.
Check the effect of vibration
When compacting with vibration check the effect
of the vibration on nearby buildings and under-
ground supply lines (gas, water, sewage, electric
power supply), stop vibratory compaction if neces-
sary.
Do not activate the vibration on hard (frozen, con-
crete) ground. Risk of bearing damage!
Parking the machine
Park the machine on level and firm ground.
Before leaving the machine:
l
return the travel lever to neutral position
l
apply the parking brake
l
shut the engine down and pull the ignition key
out
l
secure the machine against unauthorized use.
Do not jump off the machine, use access steps
and hand rails.
Always secure parked machines, which could be
in the way, with appropriate measures.
Parking on slopes and gradients
Secure the machine against rolling, place metal
chocks in front of and behind the drums.
Filling the fuel tank
Do not inhale any fuel fumes.
Refuel only with the engine stopped.
Do not refuel in closed rooms.
No open fire, do not smoke.
Do not spill any fuel. Catch running out fuel, do not
let it seep into the ground.
Wipe off spilled fuel. Keep dirt and water away
from fuel.
Leaking fuel tanks can cause explosion. Ensure
tight fit of the fuel tank lid, if necessary replace im-
mediately.
Fire protection measures
Become acquainted with the location and the han-
dling of fire extinguishers. Observe all possibilities
for fire alarm and fire fighting.
Maintenance work
Comply with the maintenance work described in
the operating and maintenance instructions, in-
cluding the information concerning the replace-
ment of parts.
Maintenance work must only be performed by
qualified and authorized persons.
For overhead maintenance and assembly work
use the access steps and working platforms pro-
vided or other secure means. Do not use machine
parts as access steps.
Keep unauthorized persons away from the ma-
chine.
Do not perform maintenance work while the ma-
chine is driving or the engine is running.
Park the machine on horizontal, level and firm
ground.
Pull the key out of the ignition switch.
Lock the articulated joint with the articulation lock.
Working on hydraulic lines
Always relieve the hydraulic pressures before
working on hydraulic lines. Hydraulic oil escaping
under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
severe injury. When being injured by hydraulic oil
consult a medical doctor immediately, as other-
wise this may cause severe infections.
Do not step in front of or behind the drums/wheels
when performing adjustment work in the hydraulic
system.
Do not change the setting of high pressure relief
valves.
Drain hydraulic oil at operating temperature - dan-
ger of scalding!
Catch hydraulic oil and dispose of environmental-
ly.
Always catch and dispose of biodegradable hy-
draulic oils separately.
