Safety regulations:
3.6.4 Starting in enclosed areas
Exhaust fumes are lethal!
When starting in closed rooms, therefore, always ensure suffi cient ventilation.
3.7 Driving the machine
3.7.1 Persons in the hazard area
Each time before starting work, also after interruptions, check whether there are persons or obstacles positioned in
the hazard area, particularly when reversing. If required, give a warning signal. Stop work immediately if persons fail
to leave the hazard area despite warning.
3.7.2 Driving
• In emergency situations and in case of danger, stop the machine immediately. Only resume operation when the
danger which caused the stop has been eliminated.
• The machine may not be used to transport persons.
• In case of unusual noises and generation of smoke, ascertain the cause and have the problem remedied.
3.7.3 Negotiating uphill and downhill slopes
• Do not drive up or down slopes steeper than the maximum climbing ability of the machine.
• On slopes, always drive directly upwards or downwards and proceed with caution. Before starting, select a lower
gear.
• Damp and loose substrates substantially reduce the machine‘s grip on sloping surfaces and inclines. Increased risk
of accidents!
3.7.4 Driving in traffi c
• Adjust your speed to the working conditions.
• Always give way to loaded transport vehicles.
• Keep your distance from edges and embankments.
3.7.5 Checking the effects of vibration
During compaction work with vibration, check the effect on adjacent buildings and buried pipelines (gas, water,
sewage, electrical). If necessary, compaction work may have to be discontinued.
Never use vibration on hard substrates (concrete or frozen earth), as this will damage the bearings!
3.7.6 Parking the machine
Wherever possible, park the machine on a fi rm, even surface.
Before leaving the machine:
• Switch off the engine and pull out the ignition key.
• Parked machines which could represent an obstruction must be safeguarded by clearly identifi able measures.
