4.1.6 Danger zones during operation
The left side of the compactor is a blind spot. The operator must always be sure there’s no one present in
this area, before start up and during operation.
Maintain the boundaries of the danger zone as described in section 2.4.6 "Danger zones".
4.1.7 Risk of overturning
The operator must take precautions to avoid risk of overturning. Both during rigging, set-up and
when operating the machine.

Before leaving the machine, the operator must turn off the engine (tractor) or any other power
source. Remove key or secure the power source to avoid unattended start.
4.2 CONNECTION AND SETTING UP THE MACHINE
4.2.1 Rig up
IMPORTANT: Be aware of the danger of tipping when rigging up.
1. Park the compactor on an even and solid surface.
2. Disconnect cables for lighting, hoses for brakes and hydraulics, as well as the drawbar.
3. Move and park the tractor on the left side of the compactor, perpendicular to the compactor’s lon-
gitudinal axis, and aligned with the input shaft on the hydraulic pump’s gearbox.
4. Connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor’s hydraulic take outs.
5. Start levelling the machine with the hydraulic jack stands, left- and right rear (lever 1 and 2).
6. Continue levelling the machine with hydraulic jack stand, left- and right front (lever 4 and 6).
7. Fold down the wrapping table belt tensioner.
8. Pull and hold the transport safety lock pull cord while retracting the drawbar using lever 6.
9. Open the safety valves on the hopper lifting cylinders and lower the hopper to the appropriate height
(lever 3) (see chapter 4.2.2 "Lever/Controls overview").
10. Fold up the hopper side walls and assemble the covers between the hopper and the elevator.
11. Fold down the stairs (see chapter 4.2.11 "Stairs")
12. Ensure that the tank valves are all open (T1-T4). See
