Safety regulations
In case of unusual noises and development of
smoke perform trouble shooting and have the fault
corrected.
Always keep a sufficient distance to excavation
walls and embankments and do not use working
methods that could impair the stability of the ma-
chine.
Do not work with vibration on hard concrete, cured
bitumen layers or extremely frozen ground.
Always keep a sufficient distance when passing
through subways, under bridges, tunnels, electric
power lines etc.
Driving on inclinations and slopes
Do not drive on gradients exceeding the maximum
gradability of the machine.
On slopes drive extremely careful and always di-
rectly up or down the slope. Change to a lower
gear before starting to drive.
Wet and loose soils considerably reduce the
ground adhesion of the machine on inclinations
and slopes. Higher risk of accident!
Inclination
Fig. 6
The tipping angle was measured in static condition
on level, hard ground with the machine stopped,
no steering and without vibration.
With loose soil, acceleration/deceleration, running
vibration, steering or attached accessoriies the tip-
ping angle may be considerably lower.
Driving across slopes should therefore be strictly
avoided, because of the high risk of tipping over
and the related risk of severe or even fatal acci-
dents.
22
You should therefore always drive straight up or
down a slope.
For rollers with a drum width of 1 m or less there is
a considerable risk of tipping over near edges (e.g.
curbstones, embankments, trenches, potholes)
when driving over these edges.
Behaviour in traffic
Match the speed to the working conditions. Do not
make extreme steering movements when driving
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 work with vibration on hard concrete, cured
bitumen layers or extremely frozen ground. Dan-
ger of bearing damage!
Parking the machine
Park the machine on level, firm ground.
Before leaving the machine:
l
Max. 20 °
36 % l
l
Do not jump off the machine, but use hand grips
and access steps.
Mark machines, which could be in the way, with a
880116
clearly visible sign.
Parking on slopes and inclinations
Apply appropriate measures (e.g. with metal
wheel chocks, to be provided by the operating
company) tp secure the machine against rolling
away.
Refuelling
Do not inhale any fuel fumes.
Refuel only with the engine stopped and the auxil-
iary heater switched off.
Always use access steps.
