2 Operation 2.1 Safety Precautions for the Operation Before every working shift, the operator of the compactor must check the operativeness of all controls and safety elements as well as the proper installation of all protection devices. The compactor is only allowed to be operated with all protection devices in place.
2.2 Transport Short distances on the job site can be covered by the compactor under its own power in accordance with paragraph 2.6.1. For transporting the compactor over long distances, the machine can be lifted on an appropriate transport vehicle (truck, trailer) by means of a crane. In addition, the compactor can be driven on a trailer suited for this purpose.
2.3 Commissioning Caution! During the first 50 operating hours, the engine must be operated at 70 % of its maximum load only. Commissioning requires normal pre-start work only. Keep to the initial maintenance intervals (refer to paragraph 3.2.1). 2.4 Pre-Start Work - Check the whole compactor for evident damage, eliminate visual damage.
2.4.2 Checking the Engine Oil Level Caution! Always check the engine oil level with the compactor in horizontal position. - Open the hood lock (5/1). - Open the hood lock flap (5/2). Danger! Risk of scalds because of hot engine parts! Figure 5 - Pull out the oil dipstick (6/1), wipe the oil from the dipstick with a clean, non-fluffing cloth and insert...
2.4.3 Checking the Coolant Level Danger! Only check the coolant level with the engine switched off and cooled down, otherwise risk of scalds because of hot steam. - Open the hood lock (9/1). - Open the hood lock flap (9/2). - Open the cover (10/1).

2.6 Operation, Manual Danger ! When going uphill, the operator must always walk on the downhill side and, vice versa, when going downhill, the operator must always walk on the uphill side. Passengers are not allowed to ride on the compactor. Caution! During continuous duty, the maximum inclination the compactor may have is 25 %.
2.6.3 Steering The driving speeds and the curve radii are changed by the various drive lever movements. 2.6.3.1Turning a R. H. Curve - Push the L. H. drive lever (27/2) to the front, according to the desired curve radius. - Push the R. H. drive lever (27/1) less to the front, according to the desired curve radius.
2.6.4 Automatic Activation of Vibration Put the compactor into operation as described in paragraph 2.5/2.6 Starting/Operation. - Turn the switch (32/1) to the position. - Turn the switch (32/2) to the "Auto" position. - Push the levers (32/2) to the desired direction of travel.
2.7 Starting the Compactor by Remote Control Danger ! The deadman handle/emergency stop switch override all other functions of the machine. If the deadman handle is actuated, the machine will automatically move forward 0.5 m and will then stop. The vibration system will be turned off. Before starting the compactor, ensure that nobody is in the danger area of the compactor and that all protective devices are properly in place.
2.8 Operation 2.8.1 Remote Controlled Operation Danger! Passengers are not allowed to ride on the compactor. Caution! During continous operation, the maximum inclination the compactor may have is 25 %. - Start the compactor as described in paragraph 2.5. - The engine is accelerated to full speed. - The driving speed/working speed/vibration is controlled by the lever (35/1).
2.9 Putting the Compactor out of Operation Before work breaks and at the end of every day's shift, the compactor must be parked on a stable base which should be as horizontal as possible. If the machine is parked on a slope, use wedge-shaped brake blocks to prevent any unintentional movement of the compactor.
3 Maintenance 3.1 Safety Precautions for Maintenance Work Depending on the operating conditions, compactors must be made subject to an expert's check for operational safety as required, but at least once a year. The inspection results must be recorded in writing and kept at least until the next inspection.
3.2 Maintenance Survey Any maintenance work which must be performed on the compactor is listed in two charts. The first chart (paragraph 3.2.1) indicates the initial maintenance work which has to be carried out once at a certain time after commissioning. The routine maintenance work indicated in the second chart (paragraph 3.2.2) has to be repeated at regular intervals.
