Safety Information

Multiquip / Mikasa Rammax RX1575 Roller, Articulating Trench, Walk-Behind

General working safety

● The roller may only be used for driving on and compacting loose top layers (gravel, earth). Other uses are prohibited.

● Rollers may only be operated with all safety devices operating. Manipulation or
disregard of safety devices and regulations invalidates the CE conformity.

● Before starting every shift, check the effectiveness of the operation and safety devices and that the protection devices are in place.

● Check the steering and brakes when you start work. If defects are apparent, roller operation is not permitted.

● If you identify any defects on the safety system or defects that impair safe operation of the equipment, inform your supervisor immediately. The roller may no longer be operated.

● If you identify any defects which endanger safe operation, cease operation immediately.

● Only perform work on and clean the roller if it is stationary and secured from
rolling away.

● Switch off the engine when filling the fuel tank. Do not fill up fuel in enclosed spaces. No open flames.

● Do not vibrate on slopes or inclines where there is a hazard of slipping or overturning.

● Do not drive on slopes that are steeper than the maximum climbing capacity of
the equipment. Always drive the roller carefully perpendicular to the slope dip.

● Do not vibrate inside buildings and on unstable ground.

● The driving and working field of view must not be obstructed in any way.

● Switch off the engine before leaving the roller. Secure the roller against unauthorized start-up and rolling away.

● Take suitable visible measures to secure parked rollers that pose an obstruction.

● Never work under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines that impair consciousness.

● Only operate the roller in good general light conditions and good workspace illumination.

● The workplace of the operator is located at a safe distance of at least 2m.

Roller operation

DANGER

Rollover hazard when driving the roller!

• Only start the roller using the handheld transmitter.

• Personnel may not stand in front of or behind the roller while it is in operation.

• Persons necessary for operations at the sides of the equipment must remain at a safe distance of at least 2 m.

Shear points

● When closing the hood ensure that no objects are situated between the hood and
the chassis.

● Take care that nothing is jammed in the joint plates when rotating the roller drums.

● Do not put hands between the roller drum and support during operation.



DANGER

Danger to life through tipping or slipping of the roller! The edges of filled areas may give way!

• Only travel directly up or down slopes.

• Do not drive across slopes.

• Keep your distance to embankments and edges!

• Do not drive at an angle into or out of the trench.

• Park the roller on slopes only in such a way that it cannot overturn.

• Use the roller on slopes only in such a way that it cannot overturn.

• The roller drums have very poor adhesion on snow and ice. Driving or working on a slope in snow or ice is prohibited.

• Damp and loose surfaces reduce the traction of the machine on upward and downward grades considerably. Adapt the speed of the machine to the terrain when driving on grades.

• The nature of the ground and weather conditions can negatively affect the climbing ability of the machine.

Never drive on slopes that are steeper than the maximum climbing ability of the machine

Construction site conditions can have a negative effect on stability and the tipping angle.

DANGER

Crushing hazard in the area of the articulated joint

• During operation, there is always a crushing hazard in the area of the articulated joint. Therefore, it is not permitted for persons to be in this area during operation. In general, a safety distance of at least 2 meters to the machine must be maintained during operation.

DANGER

Crushing of toes through careless handling of the roller!

• Wear safety shoes when working with the roller in order to help avoid crushed toes.

DANGER

Danger of accident through improper operation of the roller!

• Read the operating instructions before operating the roller.

• Adhere to the safety regulations at all costs.

• In case of lack of clarity, contact your authorized dealer

Noise levels

WARNING

Hearing damage due to continuous noise level!

Depending on the use of equipment it is possible that the allowed noise level of 85dB (A) will be exceeded.

• Wear ear protectors in accordance with national accident prevention regulations when working at higher noise levels.

The following noise level measurements were carried out by an accredited testing
and monitoring body in accordance with machine directive 2000/14/EEC of the
European parliament and council.

Inspecting and monitoring organization: TÜV Österreich (Austrian technical inspectorate) Testing body no. 0408

Tab. 3-1 Sound power level

Measured sound power level 100dB (A)

NOTE The obligation to wear ear protection is standardized nationally. In Switzerland and Germany, this is as of a measured level of 85dB (A) (sound pressure).

3.4 Safety markings on the machine
