3.1 General work safety
● The roller may only be used for driving and compacting unbound layers (gravel,
soil) and blacktops (asphalt). Other uses are prohibited.
● Rollers may only be operated with all safety devices. Manipulation or disregard of
safety devices and regulations invalidates the CE conformity.
● Before starting every shift, check the effectiveness of the operation and safety de-
vices and that the protection devices are in place.
● Check the steering and brakes when you start work. If defects are apparent roller
operation is not permitted.
● If you identify any defects on the safety system or defects that impair safe opera-
tion of the equipment, inform your supervisor immediately. The roller may no lon-
ger be operated.
● If you identify any defects which endanger safe operation, cease operation imme-
diately.
● Only perform work on and clean the roller if it is stationary and secured from rol-
ling away.
● Switch off the engine when filling the fuel tank. Do not fill up fuel in closed rooms.
No open flames.
● Do not vibrate on slopes or inclines where there is a hazard of slipping or overtur-
ning.
● Do not drive on slopes that are steeper than the maximum climbing capacity of
the equipment. Always drive the roller carefully perpendicular to the slope dip.
● Do not vibrate inside buildings and on instable ground.
● Keep the driver’s position and steps free of trips, grease, dirt, ice, etc.
● The driving and working field of view may not be obstructed in any way. Adjust all
the necessary mirrors correctly and keep them clean.
● Switch off the engine before leaving the roller. Secure the roller from unauthorized
start-up and rolling away.
● Take suitable measure to secure lowered rollers that pose an obstruction.
● Never work under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines that impair con-
sciousness.
● Only operate the roller in good general light conditions and good workspace illu-
mination.
● The operator's workplace is on the seat of the driver's platform. The roller may not
be operated from any other position.
