General Safety Instructions
General
All safety notes (see also explanations of the pictogram meanings in the preface) must be read and observed (any
lack of clarity must be dispelled before the tamper is put into operation), because otherwise the use of the machine
may
* constitute a risk to life and limb of the user
* impair the machine and other valuable property.
In addition to these operating instructions and the mandatory accident prevention regulations in the country of use
and on the operating site, the generally accepted technical standards for a safe and professional work must be
also observed.
Designated Use
Tampers are only allowed to be operated in accordance with their designated use, whereby the operating and
maintenance instructions, the generally accepted safety and traffic regulations and the regulations of the individual
countries of use must be followed:
The tamper has been exclusively designed for the compaction of
- crushed stone,
- sand.
Any other use of the tamper is considered contrary to its designated use. The owner of the tamper bears the sole
responsibility for any misuse of the machine.
Driving Permission
Only trustworthy persons, who are aged at least 18 years, are allowed to handle tampers. They must be properly
trained in the operation and maintenance of the tamper by the owner or his authorized representative.
Protective Equipment
When operating the tamper described in this operation and maintenance manual, the noise level at the operator's
ear may exceed 90 dB(A). The German noise protection regulations (BGV-B3) require the operator to wear
personal ear protectors in case of noise levels of 90 dB(A) and more.
Additionally, a safety helmet and safety shoes belong to the protective equipment.
