Safekeeping and completeness of the operating instructions
This manual is an integral part of the machine and must always
be available so that the machine operator can consult it at any
time. It must always be kept close to hand. Never remove a
chapter of these operating instructions. Missing instructions or
missing pages - particularly the "Safety instructions" chapter
- must be replaced immediately if they are lost.
The operating instructions must be kept for the service life of
the machine and be passed on to each later owner or opera-
tor.
Updating service:
This manual is not subject to Ammann Schweiz AG's revision
service. This documentation can be changed without notica-
tion.

Index: a; Issued 08/2010
Description
The new development of the Rammax 1515 is based on many
years of experience gained in the development and design of
vibratory trench rollers. The enormous degree of operating con-
venience, which provides both for cable and infrared control,
enables the user to use the machine in a exible way. The
hard-wearing, compact design offers a high degree of security
even in the most difcult terrain. The Rammax 1515 is tted
with hydrostatic steering, vibration and drive. The machine
is extremely maintenance friendly (with the exception of the
diesel engine), no V-belts, drive belts, lubrication nipples or
shiftable clutches are used. Most modern control electronics,
as well as the proven 8 strippers for the drums characterise
this machine.
Areas of application
The Rammax 1515 vibratory trench roller is a roller especially
designed for trench compaction. The complete lack of side
walls on the drum enables compaction right up to the trench
wall also in very small and narrow trenches. Wet, clay-based
soils in canalisation, pipeline construction, road substructure
and construction backlls, etc., are the applications that this
modern trench roller can be used for.
The infrared control also permits driving underneath bracings
when constructing trenches. During dangerous construction-
site operations, it is possible for the operator to control the
machine from a safe distance and not to expose himself to
hazards.
Intended use
The machine is exclusively conceived for the compaction of
loose backll, such as earth, gravel, or sand, as well as mix-
tures of these. The machine may not be used on hard, already
compacted or frozen soils.
Workplace
The proper work area for the machine operator depends on
the manner of operation: With manual control the machine
operator’s intended work area is at the rear of the machine
within the effective range of the OFF switch handle.
With remote control, the proper work area is at the rear of the
machine in a radius of 2 to 20 metres.
the Machine in detail

18 Rammax 1515-M/-MC/-MI/-MCI Index: a; Issued 08/2010
Danger areas
While the machine is in operation, it poses risk to life and limb
within the effective area. People can be grabbed and run over
or crushed by the machine or its parts. It can also hurl stones,
dirt and debris in the air and injure people. Only the machine
operator should be in the effective area, and he should remain
in the intended work area. Other persons must maintain a sa-
fety distance of at least 2 metres around the machine. They
must not enter the machine’s effective area until the motor has
reached a complete standstill.
Modications to the machine
For reasons of safety, users are prohibited from ma-
king their own modications or conversions to the
machine. This machine may only be equipped with original
spare parts, which have been constructed for this machine
and correspond to the requirements of the manufacturer. The
installation or use of special `equipment or special parts can
impair driving safety.
The manufacturer will accept no liability for damage caused as
a result of the use of non-original parts or special equipment.
