SAFETY

ORGANIZATIONAL MEASURES

STOW manuals in the manual pouch provided on the machine. Manuals must always be
available at the site where the machine is used.
OBSERVE AND INSTRUCT the user in all other generally applicable legal and mandatory
regulations relevant to accident prevention and environmental protection. These compulsory
regulations may also deal with the handling of hazardous substances, issuing and/or wearing
of personal protective equipment, and traffic regulations.
SUPPLEMENT operating instructions with detailed working instructions pertaining to the
specific work location.
ALWAYS be sure that persons entrusted with work on the machine have read the operating
instructions and in particular the chapter on safety before beginning work. Reading the
instructions after work has begun is too late. This is especially important for persons who work
only occasionally on the machine, e.g. during set up or maintenance.
MAKE CERTAIN personnel are working in compliance with the operating instructions and are
alert to risks and safety factors.
ALWAYS tie back or otherwise secure long hair, wear close-fitting garments and avoid
wearing jewelry such as rings. Injury may result from clothing, hair, or jewelry being caught up
in the machinery.
USE protective equipment wherever required by the circumstances or by law.
OBSERVE all safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine.
BE SURE all safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine are complete and
perfectly legible.
STOP the machine immediately in the event of any malfunction. REPORT the malfunction to
the proper authority/person.
NEVER provide service or maintenance to the machine unless the drum and wheels are
adequately chocked, articulation lock bar/pin is in locked position, and parking brake is
applied.
NEVER make any modifications to the machine which might affect safety without the
manufacturer's approval. This applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices and
valves as well as to welding work on load bearing elements.
ALWAYS ADHERE to prescribed intervals or those specified in the operating instructions for
routine checks and inspections.

PRE START INSPECTION

INSPECT your compactor daily. Ensure that the routine maintenance and lubrication are being
dutifully performed. Have any malfunctioning, broken, or missing parts repaired or replaced
before use. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule located in Section 5 of this manual.
VERIFY that all instruction and safety labels are in place and readable. These are as important
as any other equipment on the compactor. Refer to the decal location drawing in Section 1 in
this manual.
NEVER fill the fuel tank with the engine running, while near an open flame, or while smoking.
