Mini-Line G198 operating manual
Page 6
A form of overcurrent protection must be installed between the power supply of the asphalt paver
and the Mini-Line® Grade Control System. Check this prior to the connection of the system. The
overcurrent protection is usually built into the asphalt paver in the form of a fuse in a central fuse
box.
The short circuit breaking capacity must be adapted to the total maximum power consumption of
the Mini-Line® Grade Control System, or equal the prospective fault current in case of short-
circuiting. The maximum power consumption of all the parts in the Mini-Line® Grade Control
System can be found under Technical Specifications.
After installing the Mini-Line® Grade Control System on a new asphalt paver, test that the
emergency stop covers the system, so that power supply to the Mini-Line® Grade Control System is
switched off when the emergency stop is activated.
Correct Use
The Mini-Line® Grade Control System has been developed as a levelling system for an asphalt
paver, and correct use therefore entails that the system is used for this purpose. The Mini-Line®
Grade Control System should only be operated by a trained operator, so that personal injury and
damaged equipment is avoided.
The operator must
•
Read and understand the manual. In case of questions, contact your local representative.
•
Be aware of the situations described under Examples of Incorrect Use, Warnings and
Dangerous Situations and be able to avoid them.
•
Be aware of the specifications of the G198 to ensure that they are working properly. See
Technical Specifications (data sheets).
Responsibility of the Operator
When planning the paving job, the operator must remember the following
Investigate local legislation regarding road construction work and the use of protective equipment
required for the paving job.
Investigate local health and safety regulation concerning the operation of heavy machinery, and
incorporate any risks involved in the use of external controllers in the total risk assessment of the
machine, e.g. placing operation stations outside dangerous areas.
Make sure the total risk assessment of the machine is accessible to everyone working with and
around the asphalt paver.
Make sure all personnel working with and around the asphalt paver understands how the Mini-
Line® Grade Control System affects the asphalt paver.
When commencing the paving job, the operator must remember the following
Avoid the situations described under Examples of Incorrect Use and avoid situations described in
the total risk assessment.
Ensure that the Mini-Line® Grade Control System is not damaged. Ensure that the Mini-Line®
Grade Control System is connected correctly to the asphalt paver.
Make sure that the measuring areas of the sensors are free from spilled asphalt or other obstacles
that will lead to faulty reactions of the system. Ensure that the G198 is working within the
specifications. See Technical Specifications.
Inform TF-Technologies or your local representative, if the G198 for any reason not is safe to use.
