Always keep a safe distance away from the edges and banks of
ditches and refrain from any actions which could cause the
machine to topple over!
Always control the machine, so that hand injuries through hard
objects are avoided!
Always ascend slopes carefully in a direct path.
Reverse up steep slopes to prevent the machine from toppling
over on to the machine operator.
If faults on the safety devices or other faults detrimental to the
safe operation of the machine are noticed, operation of the
machine must be stopped immediately and the faults remedied.
When undertaking compaction work in the vicinity of buildings
orabove pipelines and similar, check the effect of the vibrations
on the buildings and pipes and stop compaction work if
necessary.
Parking the machine
Park the machine on a firm and level surface.
Shutdown the drive and secure it to prevent accidental move-
ment and unauthorised use. If available, close the fuel valve. Do
not place or store equipment with integrated moving gear on the
chassis. The moving gear is intended only for transportation pur-
poses.
Filling petrol
Only fill petrol with the engine shutdown.
No open fire, do not smoke.
Do not spill any fuel, collect discharging fuel in a suitable contai-
ner, prevent fuel from seeping into the soil.
Ensure that the filler cap is tight.
Leaky fuel tanks constitute an explosion hazard and must there-
fore be replaced immediately.
Maintenance and repairs
Observe the maintenance, inspection and adjustments and
intervals specified in the operating instructions, as well as the
information for part replacement.
Maintenance work must be undertaken only by qualified and
authorised persons.
Maintenance and repairs must only be undertaken with the drive
stationary.
Only carry out maintenance and repairs when the machine is
parked on a firm and even surface and is secured to prevent it
from rolling.
When changing larger assemblies and individual components,
only use suitable and perfectly functioning hoisting and lifting
gear with suitable bearing capacity. Attach and secure parts to
lifting gear carefully!
Spare parts must comply with the technical requirements of the
manufacturer. Therefore only use original spare parts.
Before working on hydraulic lines, these must previously be
rendered pressureless. Hydraulic oil discharging under pres-
sure can cause serious injuries.
Work on hydraulic devices must be undertaken only by persons
with a special knowledge of hydraulics and the necessary ex-
perience!
Do not adjust pressure relief valves.
Drain hydraulic oil at operating temperature—caution risk of
scalding!
Collect discharging hydraulic oil and dispose of the same in an
environmentally-friendly manner.
Do not start the engine with hydraulic oil drained!
After completing all work (with the system still pressureless),
inspect all connections and bolted connections for leaks.
Inspect all hoses and bolted connections for leaks at regular
intervals and externally visible damage! Rectify any damage
immediately.
Replace externally damaged hydraulic hoselines at regular
intervals (depending on time used), even when no safety-rele-
vant faults are visible.
Inspect the electrical equipment of the machine at regular
intervals. Faults such as loose connections, worn or scorched
cables must be immediately.
Properly refit and inspect all protective devices after main-
tenance and repairs.
Testing
Road rollers, trench rollers and vibrating plates must be tested
for safety by an expert depending on the particular application
and operating conditions as required, however at least once a
year.
