Safety guidelines
General
All safety instructions must be read and complied with, as non-compliance will result in
– danger to life and limb of the user,
– impairments to the machine or other property.
In addition to the operating manual, the accident-prevention regulations in the country where the
appliance is used must be complied with.
Intended use
The soil compactor should only be used if it is in a technically faultless condition, as intended, in
a safety-conscious and hazard-conscious manner, and in compliance with the instructions in the
operating manual. Malfunctions that impair safety must be eliminated without delay.
The CR 9-II MDM soil compactor is designed exclusively for compacting
– sand,
– gravel,
– asphalt, crushed rock,
– low-cohesive mixed material.
Any other use of the soil compactor is considered to be improper use for which the owner shall be
exclusively responsible. All liability is rejected if damage occurs due to non-compliance with this
provision. This risk is borne solely by the user.
Easily foreseeable misuse
Any use for which the machine is not intended.
Operation
Soil compactors are only permitted to be operated by suitable persons of or above the age of 18.
Personnel must be instructed in how to guide the compactor by the owner or by the owner’s assigned
personnel.
The machine operator must comply with traffic regulations. If instructions that affect safety are given
by third parties, then the operator must be authorized to reject these instructions.
Unauthorized persons are forbidden from being in the area of the soil compactor during the
compacting process.
