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 soil 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 machine 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 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 rules and the regulations of the individual countries of use
must be followed.
The soil compactor has been exclusively designed for the compaction of
- sand
- gravel
- crushed aggregates
- semi-cohesive mixed material
- concrete block pavement.
Any other use of the soil compactor is considered contrary to its designated use. The company operating the soil 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 soil compactor by the employer 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.
