Driving On Slopes And Gradients; Check The Effect Of Vibration; Parking The Machine; Parking On Slopes And Gradients - Fayat Group BOMAG BW177D-50 Operating Instructions, Maintenance Instructions

Section 2
SAFTEY REGULATIONS
Do not work with vibration on hard concrete, on a cured
concrete layer or heavily frozen ground.
When passing under flyovers, bridges, tunnels, electric
power lines etc. keep a sufficient distance.

driving on slopes and gradients

Do not drive up and down gradients, which exceed the
maximum gradability of the machine.
Always drive extremely carefully on slopes and always
directly up or down the slope, never diagonally. Change
to the lower speed range before approaching the
inclination.
Wet and loose soils reduce the ground adhesion of
the machine and inclinations and slopes considerably.
Higher risk of accident!
Behaviour in traffic
Match the speed of the machine to the working
conditions.
Always allow loaded transport vehicles to pass.
Switch the lights on when the visibility is poor.
Keep clear of edges and embankments.

check the effect of vibration

When compacting with vibration check the effect of the
vibration on nearby buildings and underground supply
lines (gas, water, sewage, electric power supply), stop
vibratory compaction if necessary.
Never use the vibration on hard (frozen, concrete)
ground. Risk of bearing damage!
