4.4.3. Handling by forklift
If the machine is often handled with a forklift (for example when sending collection service), we attach a
variety of machine and send it together with a variety. For one machine is suitable for "small" range of
dimensions 0.8 x 0.6 m, two machines for a variety of standard EUR 1.2 x 0.8 m.
4.4.4. Transport
When transporting the machine must be adequately secured against overturning, falling or shifting to the
base.
The machine must be transported in an upright position.
4.4.5. Storage
Store the machine in place secured against theft and misuse. We recommend a dry sheltered place does
not affect the chemical substances and where there is excessive dust.
Before long-term storage engine first clean, repair the damaged areas and preserve the paint (including
the preservation of the motor). Clearly label the machine is conserved.
4.5. Special conditions of operation
Compaction at temperature below freezing is highly dependent on water content in the soil to be
compacted. Under such conditions, soil becomes harder and more difficult to compact. It is possible to
compact dry materials or rapidly compact fresh soil, before it gets frozen.
4.5.1. Operation at low ambient temperature
With increasing altitude, engine power decreases due to changed oxygen content. Within certain extent,
it is possible to improve the engine power by installing different main nozzle and by adjusting the
carburetor (gasoline engines) or by adjusting the injection system (diesel engines). Should the machine
be operated in high altitudes (above 1500 m above sea level), contact the engine manufacturer to carry
out the adjustments.
4.5.2. Operation at high altitudes
In case that you intent to operate the machine in high altitudes in the time of purchase, consult the
manufacturer.
In case that the machine is operated in extremely dusty environment, it is recommended to shorten the
service intervals for cleaning or replacement of the air filter.
4.5.3. Operation in Dusty Environment
Clean the machine from dust regularly.
Basic maintenance as described in this Operation Manual can be carried out by the operator. Repairs and
adjustments beyond the extent of this Manual should be done by an authorized service center.
