14
When operating this machine:
• Do not allow improperly trained people to operate the machine.
• People operating the machine must be familiar with the potential risks
and hazards associated with it.
• Follow legal and other mandatory regulations relevant to accident pre-
vention and environmental protection. These may include handling haz-
ardous substances, issuing and/or wearing PPE, or obeying traffic regu-
lations.
The machine must not be accessed or operated by:
• Children
• People impaired by alcohol, drugs, or prescription drugs
Application area
Be aware of the application area.
• Keep unauthorized personnel, children, and pets away from the ma-
chine.
• Remain aware of changing positions and the movement of other equip-
ment and personnel in the application area/job site.
• Use caution when operating the machine near the edges of pits,
trenches, or platforms. Check to be sure that the ground surface is stable
enough to support the weight of the machine with the operator and that
there is no danger of the roller sliding, falling, or tipping.
• Identify whether special hazards exist in the application area, such as
toxic gases or unstable ground conditions, and take appropriate action to
eliminate the special hazards before using the machine.
• Do not operate the machine in areas that contain flammable objects, fu-
els, or products that produce flammable vapors.
• Keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper,
cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.
• Always use the SmartControl™ transmitter neck strap provided by the
manufacturer while operating with the control cable connected. This neck
strap is designed to break away so that the operator will not be dragged
by the machine should the machine slide, tip, or fall.
• Always remain in visual contact with the machine at all times while oper-
ating the controls.
• Never operate multiple rollers within 20 meters (65 feet) of one another,
unless you are certain that each roller and its accompanying transmitter
have been set to a different control channel than the other rollers/trans-
mitters being used within the area. For further information,
