Safety regulations
BOMAG 17 MPH 122-2
Starting in closed rooms
Exhaust gases are highly dangerous! Always en-
sure an adequate supply of fresh air when starting
in closed rooms!
Driving the machine
Persons in the danger area
Before taking up work, also after breaks, you
should always convince yourself that the danger
zone is free of persons or obstructions, especially
when driving in reverse.
Give warning signals, if necessary. Stop work im-
mediately if persons remain in the danger zone,
despite the warning.
Do not step or stand in the articulation area of the
machine when the engine is running. Danger of
squashing!
Driving
In events of emergency and in case of danger ac-
tuate one of the emergency stop buttons immedi-
ately. Do not use the emergency stop switch as
service brake. Restart the machine only after the
danger that caused the actuation of the emergen-
cy stop switch has been eliminated.
If the machine has contacted high-voltage power
lines:
l
do not leave the operator’s stand
l
warn others from coming close to or touching
the machine
l
if possible drive the machine out of the danger
zone
l
have the power switched off
Operate the machine only from the operator’s
stand.
Keep the cabin doors closed.
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.
Do not climb onto or off the machine while the ma-
chine is driving.
Do not use the machine to transport persons.
Do not make any major steering movements at in-
appropriate speed.
In case of unusual noises and development of
smoke perform trouble shooting and have the fault
corrected.
Driving on inclinations and slopes
Do not drive on gradients exceeding the maximum
gradability of the machine.
On slopes drive extremely careful and always di-
rectly up or down the slope. Change to a lower
gear before starting to drive.
Wet and loose soils considerably reduce the
ground adhesion of the machine on inclinations
and slopes. Higher risk of accident!
Behaviour in traffic
Match the speed to the working conditions.
Always give way to loaded transport vehicles.
Switch the lights on if the visibility is poor.
Keep away from edges and embankments.
Always comply with the applicable highway code
when driving on public roads.
Work
When milling road covering layers harmful dusts
may be released.
In order to avoid any damage to health the ma-
chine operator and other persons, who have to
work in the immediate vicinity of the milling ma-
chine, should wear breathing masks (half mask
with exhalation valve or respirator) to reduce the
dust particles, when a development of dust is no-
ticed.
Contaminated parts of the body should be thor-
oughly washed before breaks and at the end of
work.
After work the dust covered working clothes
should be replaced by normal clothes.
Working clothes and respiratory equipment should
not be stored together with normal clothes. Dust
covered working clothes must be cleaned at regu-
lar intervals.
Make sure that persons keep a sufficient safety
distance (approx. 2 m) to the working range of the
rotor.
Parking the machine
Park the machine on level, firm ground.
Before leaving the machine:
l
return the control lever to neutral position
l
apply the parking brake
l
lower the rotor to the ground
