SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12. Make sure the soil or subsoil to be compacted has a high enough load carrying capacity.
13. Use appropriate protective clothing while working or while carrying out maintenance work.
14. When traveling backwards the operator has to guide the vibration plate laterally by its guide handle so
that he will not be squeezed between the handle and a possible obstacle. Special care is required when work
ing on uneven ground or when compacting coarse material. Make sure of a firm stand when operating
the machine under such conditons.
15. Vibratory plates are to be guided such that hand injuries caused by solid objects are avoided.
16. Vibratory plates have to be guided such that their stability is guaranteed.
17. Machines with integrated transport trolley may not be parked or stored on the trolley. This device has
only been designed to transport the machine.
Safety checks
1. Vibratory plates may only be operated with all safety devices installed.
2. Before starting operation, the operator has to check that all control and safety devices function properly.
3. Immediately notify your supervisor or superintendent if you have determined defects in the safety devic-
es or other defects which could endanger the safe operation of the machine or which could endanger
the environment.
4. In case of defects jeopardizing the operational safety of the vibration plate, the machine has to be
stopped immediately.
5. Process materials and operating fuels must be stowed away in receptacles or containers marked ac-
cording to the respective manufacturers specifications.
Maintenance
1. Only use original spare parts. Modifications to this machine, including the adjustment of the maximum
engine speed set by the manufacturer, are subject to the express approval of Wacker. In case of non-
observance all liabilities shall be refused.
2. All drive units have to be switched off before carrying out maintenance jobs. Deviations from this are only
allowed if the maintenance or jobs require a running engine.
3. When working on vibratory plates equipped with electric starter, disconnect battery before carrying out
maintenance or repair jobs on the electric parts of the machine.
4. Remove pressure from hydraulic lines before working on them. Caution: take care when removing hy-
draulic lines, for the oil may be very hot (up. over 80
o
C). Precautions are to be taken to prevent oil from
splashing into the operator’s eyes.
5. As soon as maintenance and repair jobs have been completed all safety devices have to be reinstalled
properly.
6. Do not hose down the machine with water after each use to avoid possible malfunctions. Do not use high
pressure washers nor chemical products.
Transport
1. During transport, loading and unloading of vibration plates by means of lifting devices, appropriate sling-
ing means or hooks have to be used on the lifting points provided for this purpose on the vibratory plate.
2. The load-carrying capacity of the loading ramps has to be sufficient and the ramps have to be secure
such that they cannot turn over. Make sure that no one be endangered by machines turning over by slip-
ping or by moving machine parts.
3. When being transported on vehicles, precautions have to be taken that vibration plates do not slip or turn
over.
Maintenance checks
According to the conditions and frequency of use, vibratory plates have to be checked for safe operation at
least once a year by skilled technicians, such as those found at Wacker-service depots and have to be repaired
if necessary.
Please also observe the corresponding rules and regulations valid in your country.
