with high speed, danger of tipping over!
Always give way to loaded transport vehicles.
Switch the lights on if the visibility is poor.
Keep away from edges and embankments.
Checking the effect of vibration
When compacting with vibration you must check
the effect on nearby buildings and underground
supply lines (gas, water, sewage, electric power),
if necessary stop compaction work with vibration.
Do not activate the vibration on hard (frozen, con-
crete) ground. Danger of bearing damage!
