The machine operator must always stand facing uphill
when moving on declines.
The machine operator then has the chance to secure
the roller against inadvertent movement before leaving
the machine operator's position. If the machine operator
has to leave the roller he must rst stop the traction drive
engine and lock it against being switched back on.
Monitoring and checking
The machine operator must check that the safety devices
have been tted correctly and that the operating controls
and the safety devices work correctly before starting each
working shift.
The machine supervisor must monitor the compacting
machine whilst it is being used to ensure that it is in a
safe operating state.
The supervisor must be informed immediately if any
safety device problems or any other problems that might
affect the safe operation of the machine are found.
The machine must be stopped immediately if the problem
endangers the personnel.
The working safety of the compacting machine must be
inspected at least once a year by a specialist or more of-
ten depending on the working conditions and the working
ratio. The inspection result must be written down and kept
at least until the next inspection. A specialist is someone
who, as a result of his specialist training and experience,
has adequate knowledge of the road roller and ground
compactor sector and is also familiar with the applicable
national occupational safety regulations, the accident
prevention regulations and the generally recognised tech-
nology regulations (e.g. BG regulations, DIN standards,
VDE agreement) so that he is able to evaluate the wor-
king safety of the road rollers and the ground compactors.

on the same channel when using the remote infrared con-
troller to operate the machine. Read the Remote „infrared
controller / Resetting the channel“ chapter if you have to
reset the channel.
