General Safety Instructions
General
All safety notes (see also explanations of the pictogram meanings in the preface) must be read and observed (any
lack of clarity must be dispelled before the compactor is put into operation), because otherwise the use of the
machine may
* constitute a risk to life and limb of the user
* impair the soil compactor and other valuable property.
In addition to these operating instructions and the mandatory accident prevention regulations in the country of use
and on the operating site, the generally accepted technical standards for a safe and professional work must be
also observed.
Designated Use
Soil compactors are only allowed to be operated in accordance with their designated use, whereby the operating
and maintenance instructions, the generally accepted safety and traffic regulations and the regulations of the
individual countries of use must be followed:
The compactor has been exclusively designed for the compaction of
- sand,
- gravel,
- asphalt,
- dry lean concrete,
- insulating material/perlite
Any other use of the compactor is considered contrary to its designated use. The owner of the compactor bears
the sole responsibility for any misuse of the machine.
Driving Permission
Only trustworthy persons, who are aged at least 18 years, are allowed to handle soil compactors. They must be
properly trained in the operation and maintenance of the compactor by the owner or his authorized representative.
Protective Equipment
When operating the soil compactor described in this operation and maintenance manual, the noise level at the
operator's ear may exceed 90 dB(A). The German noise protection regulations (VBG 121) require the operator
to wear personal ear protectors in case of noise levels of 90 dB(A) and more.
Additionally, a safety helmet and safety shoes belong to the protective equipment.
