– Impairments to the machine or other property.
In addition to the operating manual, the accident-prevention regulations
in the country where the appliance is used must be complied with.
Intended use The roller should only be used in technically faultless condition,
as intended, in a safety-conscious and hazard-conscious manner,
and in compliance with the instructions in the operating manual.
Malfunctions that impair safety must be eliminated without delay.
The MC 85 roller is designed exclusively for the following operations:
– Compacting work during the construction of channels
and pipes

– Compacting operations during railroad and dam construction
– Compressing cohesive ground for the construction of trenches
– Compaction of substructures and foundations
The operator’s work position is behind the machine.

the directions of the control levers only match the movements of
the roller as seen from behind the roller.
Non-intended use Unless used as intended, the machine involves a risk of personal
injury and property damage. The machine is expressly not
suitable for:

of the machine.
Anyone close to the machine must be made aware of this risk
to allow them to react promptly in the event of a malfunction by
paying increased attention and to minimize the risk of injury.
