During operation To avoid personal injury and property damage, the operator must monitor the entire surroundings at all times. It will not suffice to only monitor the immediate danger area as the machine may tip suddenly and unexpectedly on account of potential landslides or other types of unforeseen changes in the ground. The occurrence of unusual noises may point to a defect.
Page 12
Maintenance The roller must be inspected in accordance with the corresponding implementation conditions and operating conditions to ensure its operationally safe status. This inspection should be performed as needed by an expert – however, no less than once a year or every 150 operating hours. The findings of the inspection must be stored in writing until the time of the next inspection.

Strong vibration Automatic vibration The machine is equipped with an automatic vibration system.
6. Notices on operation 6.1. Position of The switches on the radio remote control are arranged in such the operator a way that they map the movements of the machine when the operator is positioned behind the machine. This means, for instance, that the machine will move away from the operator when the drive lever is deflected to the front. When the steering lever is deflected to the right, the machine will move to the right.
6.2. Shut-off devices The near-field The radio system is equipped with a near-field shutdown system. shutdown system If the operator holding the radio remote control moves up to the machine closer than 2 meters, the machine will stop all driving and steering commands and the vibration. The display of the remote control indicates in which area the minimum distance was not observed.
6.3. The battery of the radio remote control The battery of the radio remote control is composed of three nickel- metal hydride cells (NiMH) with a total capacity of 2.2 Ah.
