Operation
BOMAG 33BMP 8500
4.3 BOSS safety system
Function
Fig. 27
The machine is surrounded by 2 spherical electro-
magnetic safety fields (Fig. 27). If the machine op-
erator with the remote control enters into the field,
which stretches in travel direction, the machine will
stop immediately.
l Shift the travel lever to neutral position and exit
the field, which corresponds with the travel di-
rection.
l Operate the machine to the opposite direction
(picture), so that the operator is no longer in
the safety field of the machine.
The operator must become acquainted with
the size of the safety field before he starts op-
eration.
If an operator is between 2 machines in both
safety fields, both corresponding travel direc-
tions of the associated machines will be
stopped. The operator must leave the safety
field to be able to move the machine again.
The minimum distance between operator and
machine must be 2 m. When falling short of a
distance of 1.2 m, the corresponding travel di-
rection will be stopped.
Danger of squashing!
Only operators carrying the associated remote
control are protected.
There is no protection for persons laying on
the ground.
