Vibratory plate compactors
Oil products as well as other detergents, preservatives and dangerous substances should at all times be
stored in original, properly marked containers. Never allow storing such substances in different
containers, in unlabelled containers or in food containers or bottles in order to prevent confusion. Store
such substances out of the reach of children. If such substance come into contact with the skin, eyes or if
inhaled or ingested, apply the first-aid measures and seek medical attention immediately.

1.4. Enviromental Principles

Fuels, lubricants and operating liquids in individual systems of the machine are dangerous for the
environment. After the end of their service life, they become dangerous waste materials. Moreover, the
parts of the machine that come into contact with the above substances are also dangerous (e.g. filters).
Please prevent these substances from their getting into soil or water (including sewerage systems). These
substances should be stored in such a manner that all accidental spills can be caught. If such substances
are released when refueling or lubricating the machine, dispose them in a proper and safe manner
(sprinkle them with an absorbent, have them disposed by a specialized firm). Dispose the used liquids
according to the respective regulations.

1.5. Disposal of the Machine after the End of Its Service Life

When disposing the machine after the end of its service life, the user is obliged to comply with all the
applicable legal regulations. When disposing the machine, the oil filling from the engine and the
vibrating mechanism as well as the respective filters should be removed. Pursuant to the Waste Material
Disposal Act, the owner of the disposed machine is obliged:

To hand over the metal parts of the machine only to those persons who are duly authorized to
dispose, collect or purchase metal materials;

To hand over the used engine and hydraulic oil only to those persons who are duly authorized to
dispose used oils;
NTC cannot be held responsible for any damages to the user's health or to the environment if the
aforementioned hygienic and environmental principles are not observed.

1.6. Safety Instructions for Work with Compacting Machines

Compacting machines are vibration plates, vibration (jumping) rammers and vibration rollers. When
working with these machines, the following safety instructions should be followed:
1. Before work, evaluate the bearing capacity of the terrain, locate the places of underground spaces
and underground services to prevent caving-in the machine or damaging the underground
structures.
2. When working with the machine close to buildings and structures, bear in mind the possibility of
damaging the buildings or structures by vibrations.
3. When operating the machines in excavation pits, secure the walls of the pit to prevent them from
sliding and causing injury to the operators.
4. When operating the machines on embankments, do not work on the very edge of the embankment
so that it should not slide down causing turning the machine over.
5. It is strictly prohibited to operate the machine on such slopes where there is danger of turning the
machine over or of loss of adhesion resulting in an uncontrolled skid of the machine.
