Starting the machine
Before starting
When operating several machines with radio re-
mote controls the system numbers of the individu-
al control units must be checked.
Use only machines which are serviced at regular
intervals.
Become acquainted with the equipment, the con-
trol elements, the working principle of the machine
and the working area.
Wear your personal protective outfit (hard hat,
safety boots, etc.).
Before starting the machine check whether:
lpersons or obstructions are near the machine
lthe machine shows any obvious faults
lall guards and safety elements are in place
lbrakes, control elements and horn are working
lengine hood is closed and locked
Do not start the machine with defective gauges,
control lights or control elements.
Do not take any loose objects with you or fasten
them to the machine.
Starting
For starting set all control levers to 'neutral posi-
tion'.
Do not use any starting aids like start pilot or ether.
After starting check all gauges and control lights.
Starting with jump wires
Connect positive with positive and negative with
negative (ground cable) – always connect the
ground strap last and disconnect it first! A wrong
connection will cause severe damage in the elec-
tric system.
Do not start the engine by shorting the electric ter-
minals on the starter motor, because the machine
may start to drive immediately.
Do not use any starting aids like start pilot or ether.
Starting and operation of the machine is
closed rooms and trenches
Exhaust gases are highly dangerous! Always en-
sure an adequate supply of fresh air when starting
and operating in closed rooms and trenches!
Driving the machine
Persons in the danger area
Before taking up work, also after breaks, you
should always convince yourself that the danger
zone is free of persons or obstructions, especially
when driving in reverse.
Give warning signals, if necessary. Stop work im-
mediately if persons remain in the danger zone,
despite the warning.
Driving
Do not use the machine to transport persons.
In case of unusual noises and development of
smoke perform trouble shooting and have the fault
corrected.
Always keep a sufficient distance to excavation
walls and embankments and do not use working
methods that could impair the stability of the ma-
chine.
Do not work with vibration on hard concrete, cured
bitumen layers or extremely frozen ground.

Safety regulations
BOMAG 17BMP 8500
Driving on inclinations and slopes
Fig. 5
Do not drive on gradients exceeding the maximum
gradability of the machine.
On slopes drive extremely careful and always di-
rectly up or down the slope. Change to a lower
gear before starting to drive.
Wet and loose soils considerably reduce the
ground adhesion of the machine on inclinations
and slopes. Higher risk of accident!
Inclination
Fig. 6
The tipping angle was measured in static condition
on level, hard ground with the machine stopped,
no steering and without vibration.
With loose soil, acceleration/deceleration, running
vibration, steering or attached accessoriies the tip-
ping angle may be considerably lower.
Driving across slopes should therefore be strictly
avoided, because of the high risk of tipping over
and the related risk of severe or even fatal acci-
dents.
You should therefore always drive straight up or
down a slope.
Behaviour in traffic
Match the speed to the working conditions.
Always give way to loaded transport vehicles.
Keep away from edges and embankments.
Checking the effect of vibration
When compacting with vibration you must check
the effect on nearby buildings and underground
supply lines (gas, water, sewage, electric power),
if necessary stop compaction work with vibration.
Do not activate the vibration on hard (frozen, con-
crete) ground. Danger of bearing damage!
Parking the machine
Park the machine on horizontal, level, firm ground.
Before leaving the machine:
lshut the engine down, pull the ignition key off
lsecure the machine against unintended use.
lPull off the main battery switch.
Mark machines, which could be in the way, with a
clearly visible sign.
Refuelling
Do not inhale any fuel fumes.
Refuel only with the engine shut down.
Do not refuel in closed rooms.
No open fire, do not smoke.
Monitor the entire refuelling process.
Do not spill any fuel. Catch running out fuel, do not
let it seep into the ground.
Wipe off spilled fuel. Keep dirt and water away
from the fuel.
A leaking fuel tank can cause an explosion. En-
sure tight fit of the fuel tank cover, if necessary re-
place immediately.
Fire protection measures
Familiarise yourself with the location and the oper-
ation of fire fighting equipment. Observe all fire re-
porting and fire fighting possibilities.

vironmentally.
Always catch and dispose of hydraulic oils sepa-
rately.
Do not start the engine after draining the hydraulic
oil.
Once all work is completed (with the system still
depressurized!) check all connections and fittings
for leaks.
Changing hydraulic hoses
Hydraulic hoses must be visually inspected at reg-
ular intervals.
Hydraulic hoses must be immediately replaced if:
lthe outer layer is damaged down to the inlay
(e.g. chafing, cuts, cracks)
lthe outer layer is brittle (formation of cracks in
the hose material)
lthe hose shows deformations in pressurized
and depressurized condition, which do not
comply with the genuine shape of the hydrau-
lic hose
lthe hose shows deformations in bends, e.g.
squeezing, buckling, layer separation, forma-
tion of blisters
lparts of the hose are leaking.
lhoses are not correctly installed.
lthe hydraulic hose has separated from the fit-
ting
lthe fitting shows corrosion that impairs both
function and strength.
lhoses are mixed up by mistake.
lfittings are damaged or deformed, whereby
the function and strength of the hose/hose
connection is impaired.
Only genuine BOMAG replacement hydraulic hos-
es ensure that the correct hose type (pressure
range) is used at the right location.
Working on the engine
Shut the engine down before opening the engine
hood.
Drain the engine oil at operating temperature –
danger of scalding!
Wipe off spilled oil, catch running out oil and dis-
pose of environmentally.
