SECTION 1 SAFETY
1-6 DD-29/31HF/38HF Vibratory Asphalt Compactors
CHECK the seat belt regularly for wear or damage. Inspect belt hardware and fabric. Replace
if hardware is damaged or if strap is nicked, frayed or loose stitching is found. Seat belt
assemblies should be replaced every 3 years regardless of appearance. Seat belt strength
degrades over time and use due to exposure to weather, UV (ultraviolet radiation) and
abrasives (dirt). Check that mounting hardware is tight.
START the machine from the driver’s seat only and always wear the seat belt.
WATCH the indicators during start up and shutdown procedures in accordance with the
operating instructions. Refer to the lamp/indicator light check procedures in Section 5 of this
manual.
MAKE SURE no one is at danger or risk before starting up or setting the machine in motion.
CHECK that braking, steering, signalling and lighting systems are fully functional before
starting work or travelling with the machine.
CHECK that accessories have been safely stowed away before setting the machine in motion.
OBSERVE the valid traffic regulations when traveling on public roads and ways and MAKE
SURE the machine is in a condition compatible with these regulations.
ALWAYS SWITCH ON the lighting system in conditions of poor visibility and after dark.
MAKE SURE there is sufficient clearance when crossing underpasses, bridges and tunnels or
when passing under overhead lines.
ALWAYS KEEP at a safe distance from the edges of building pits and slopes.
AVOID any operation that might be a risk to machine stability.
NEVER CHANGE the speed range from LOW while compacting. On sloping terrain, always
adapt your travelling and compacting speed to the prevailing ground conditions.
ALWAYS SECURE the machine against inadvertent movement and unauthorized use before
leaving the driver’s seat.
