1.1 INTRODUCTION
1.1.1 General
You have purchased a HAMM Quality product.
All parts of this machine have been tested and
verified carefully. They correspond to the quali-
ty you expect.
This machine has been built according to the
current state-of-the-art and the current safety
regulations. However it is indispensable to
read and to observe the safety notes as well as
the operating and the maintenance instructions
prior to start-up. Every inappropriate use, or
use not according to the intended use, of the
machine will cause:
• Dangers to life and health of the user or to
third parties
• Impairment of the machine and further
properties of the user
• Dangers to the efficient work of the ma-
chine
The operating instructions of the combustion
engine is a part of the overall operating instruc-
tions. Maintenance and care of the engine
have to be performed according to these oper-
ating instructions. Any safety notes have to be
followed.
Even if the regulations for safety, use and
maintenance are followed, residual dangers
will remain. Due to the high operating weight
and to the high distance of gravity centres of
the machine, there is considerable danger of
tilting, in particular during travels in transversal
direction to slopes. The smooth surface of the
drums or the tyres, respectively, decreases lat-
eral stability of wet, uneven ground. Operation
is not admitted on snow and ice. When driving
on hard surfaces, and in particular when driv-
ing in transversal direction so slopes, lateral
stability is decreased when the vibration is
switched on (danger of falling).
The high reliability of the machine is preserved
through correct use and careful maintenance.
This includes the use of the obligatory operat-
ing resources and the use of original HAMM
spare parts.
This manual will introduce you to the operation
of the machine. You will find the following in it:
• Regulations for your safety
• The introduction of the machine and its
characteristics
• The operation
• The maintenance instructions
• Indication on spare parts management
and customer service
Our representations will help you to keep your
roller in perfect operating condition.
Our representations will be at your disposition
with consulting and service even after the war-
ranty period. They will provide our original
HAMM spare parts which do not only corre-
spond to the technical requirements but also
ensure exchangeability and quality.

steering installations may only be per-
formed by specialised staff trained for this.
• Only staff with specialist knowledge and
experience of hydraulics may work on hy-
draulic installations.
Safety notes on certain operation phases
Normal operation
• All working modes which are questionable
with respect to safety must not be per-
formed.
• The operator must get familiar to the work-
ing environment at the place of utilisation
prior to the start of work. The working envi-
ronment includes e.g. the obstacles in the
working and traffic area, the load carrying
capacity of the underground and neces-
sary safeguarding of the working site to-
wards public traffic.
• Measures must be taken which only allow
the operation of the machine in a safe and
functional condition. Only operate the ma-
chine if all protection devices and safety-
related devices, e.g. detachable protection
equipment, EMERGENCY STOP devices
(NOT-STOP), sound protection devices,

and secure the machine.
• In case of malfunctions, the machine must
immediately be shut down and secured.
Have the malfunction eliminated immedi-
ately.
• Starting the engine and conducting the
machine may only be performed from the
drivers seat. Do not start the engine by
short-circuiting the electric connections at
the starter, since the machine could imme-
diately start moving. Also, the function of
the starter protection switch must not be
overridden.
• Get familiar with all devices and operating
elements as well as with the functions of
these prior to starting the engine. It is too
late to do this during work.
• The acceleration and braking behaviour of
the machine are influenced by viscous hy-
draulic oil. For this reason, warm up the
machine during the warming phase with
moderate speed and low load until the hy-
draulic oil has heated to 20 °C (68 °F).
• Always wear a safety belt during travel.
• Never adjust the driver's seat during trav-
el.
• The vibration function must never be used
in the immediate vicinity of buildings (dan-
ger of collapse). Prior to switching on the
vibration function, ensure that any lines
laid in the underground (gas, water, sew-
age, electricity lines) are not damaged or
destroyed.
• Observe all switching processes and con-
trol displays according to the operating in-
structions.
• Prior to starting the machine ensure that
nobody can be put into danger by the
starting of the machine.

GENERAL
• Generally, all maintenance and servicing
work may only be performed when the en-
gine is at a standstill.
• Only open the engine hood when the en-
gine is at a standstill.
• Keep away from moving, rotating or re-
volving parts; do not touch these (danger
of accidents).
• Only perform maintenance and servicing
work if the machine is parked on a level,
stable ground and if it is secured against
rolling away and buckling (danger of bruis-
ing).
• Perform maintenance and servicing work
below the lifted driver's stand only when
the lock is latched in. Engine bonnet al-
ways fully open (danger of life).
• After maintenance and servicing activities
that require the lifting of the driver's stand,
the driver's stand must be reattached/
screwed to the engine frames. This is the
only way to ensure the roll-over protection.
• Individual parts and bigger assemblies
must be attached carefully to lifting equip-
ment and safeguarded in a way that no
danger can emanate from these. Only use
appropriate and technically unobjection-
able lifting equipment as well as load-car-
rying equipment with sufficient loading ca-
pacity. Do not rest or work under suspend-
ed loads.
• Only order experienced persons with the
fixing of loads and the guidance of crane
operators. The guiding person must be in
visible range of the operator or have a
speaking contact to him or her.
• During installation work above body
height, use safe climbing aids and working
platforms intended for this purpose. Do not
use machine parts as climbing aids. In
case of maintenance work in greater
heights, wear fall protection. Keep all han-
dles, steps, handrails, pedestals, plat-
forms, ladders, free from dirt, snow and
ice.
• Clean all oil, fuel, and care agent residues
from the machine, in particular from con-
nections and screwed connections, prior
to maintenance and repair work (fire haz-
ard). Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents. Use fibre-free cleaning cloth.
• Prior to cleaning the machine with water,
vapour stream (pressure washer) or other
means of cleaning, cover/seal all aper-
tures which must not be penetrated by wa-
ter/steam/cleaning agent due to safety or
functionality reasons. Electric motors and
distribution cabinets are specially endan-
gered in this respect.
• After cleaning, the covers/seals must be
taken off completely.
• After cleaning, check all fuel lines, engine
oil lines, and hydraulic liquid lines for
leaks, loose connections, chafe marks,
and damage. Eliminate detected defects
immediately.
• Always tighten any screwed connections
loosened during maintenance and servic-
ing work.
• If the removal of safety devices is neces-
sary for rigging, maintenance and repair,
the safety devices have to be re-installed
and checked immediately after the end of
the maintenance and repair work.
• Take care for a safe and environment-
friendly disposal of operating and auxiliary
substances, replaced parts and contami-
nated cleaning material.

• Only use original fuses with the correct
power value. Immediately shut down the
machine in case of troubles in the electric
power supply.
• During the start of the machine with bat-
tery connection cables, always connect
the positive pole to the positive pole and
the negative pole to the negative pole. Al-
ways connect the negative pole last and
disconnect it first.
• Keep sufficient distance between the ma-
chine and overhead voltage lines. During
works near electric overhead lines, the
equipment must not come near to the
overhead lines. Danger of life! Inform your-
self about safety distances to be kept.
• After touching high-voltage lines:
• Do not leave the machine
• Drive the machine out of the danger
area
• Warn surrounding persons not to
come nearer and not to touch the ma-
chine
• Have the voltage shut down
• Only leave the machine after it abso-
lutely sure that the touched/damaged
line is de-energised.
• Any work on electrical installations or op-
erating resources may only be performed
by a specialised electrician or by instruct-
ed persons under the supervision of a spe-
cialised electrician and according to the
rules of electric engineering.
• During works at the electric installation,
the machine must be de-energised at the
battery disconnector or by disconnecting
the negative pole (earthing strip) at the
battery.
• Do not smoke during maintenance work at
the battery (danger of explosion). Keep
away igniting sparks or open flames.
• Dispose used batteries properly.
• The electrical equipment of a machine
must be inspected/tested regularly. Any
defects, as e.g. loose connections or burnt
cables, must be eliminated immediately.
• Only use tools insulated against voltage.
Gas, dust, vapour, smoke
• Only operate combustion engines and fu-
el-operated heating systems in sufficiently
ventilated areas. Take care for sufficient
ventilation before starting in closed rooms
(danger of poisoning). Observe the regula-
tions applying for the respective place of
application.
• The operation of the machine is inadmissi-
ble in places where flammable gases or
dusts can occur (e.g. near fuel storage ar-
eas, coal storage areas, cereals storage
areas, wood dust or similar).
• Unusual sounds and strong smoke ex-
haust of the engine during operation can
point to dangers. Find out the cause and
have the damage repaired.
• Welding, torching and grinding work may
only be performed at the machine if this is
expressivley admitted. There may be fire
and explosion hazard.
• Prior to welding, torching and grinding,
clean the machine and its surroundings
from dust and flammable substances and
take care for sufficient ventilation (danger
of explosion).
Hydraulic system, pneumatic system
• Only staff with specialist knowledge and
experience of hydraulics may work on hy-
draulic installations.
• All lines, hoses and screwed connections
must be checked for leaks and visible
damage (at least once per year). Dam-
aged parts must be replaced immediately.
Further operation is inadmissible. Oil
spurting out can lead to injuries and fire.
• Liquids spurting out under high pressure
(hydraulic oil, fuel) can penetrate the skin.
In case of such injuries consult a doctor
immediately; otherwise, severe infections
may occur.
• Prior to work on hydraulic lines, safeguard
the machine against rolling away (parking
brake, wedges). Lower down add-on de-
vices completely. Only then remove the
pressure from the lines.
• Remove the pressure from system sec-
tions to be opened and from pressure lines
(hydraulics, compressed air) according to
the assembly descriptions prior to begin-
ning the repair work.

GENERAL
• Lay and install hydraulic and compressed
air lines appropriately. Do not confuse con-
nections. The fittings, the length and the
quality of the hose lines must comply with
the requirements.
Noise
• Sound protection devices at the machine
must be in protection position during oper-
ation.
Fuel, oils, greases and other chemical
substances
• Only appropriate and clean lubricants may
be used. Otherwise the guarantee be-
comes void.
• During the handling of oils, greases and
other chemical substances, observe the
safety regulations applying for the respec-
tive product.
• Do not heat oil above 160 °C (320 °F); oth-
erwise, oil or oil vapours may ignite.
• Prior to filling up fuel, switch off engine and
heating and pull out the ignition key. Do
not fill up fuel in closed rooms. Wipe away
spilled fuel immediately.
• Be extremely careful when handling fuel -
increased fire hazard. Never fill up fuel
near open flames or igniting sparks. Do
not smoke during filling up!
• Be careful during the handling of brake flu-
id and battery acid (noxious and caustic).
• Be careful during the handling of hot oper-
ation and auxiliary materials (danger of
burning or scalding).
• Release emulsions for tires may only be
mixed from water and release concentrate
according to the indications of the release
agent manufacturer. The environment pro-
tection regulations must be observed.
Transport and towing
• Only tow, load and transport according to
the operating instructions.
• Only use appropriate transport means and
lifting hoist with sufficient load capacity.
Take into account the weight and the di-
mensions (technical data).
• Only use stable loading ramps with suffi-
cient carrying capacity for loading. Take
care not to endanger persons by tilting or
sliding.
• Prior to loading ensure that the vehicle
(e.g. trailer, flat bed etc.) cannot tilt up-
wards when driving onto the loading area.
• Do not step or rest under suspended loads
(danger of life).
• Do not rest in the danger zone of the ma-
chine during the guidance and loading of
the machine (danger of life).
• Use the specified gantries.
• Drive the machine slowly onto or from the
loading area, respectively.
• Safeguard the machine with square timer,
wedges and tensioning ropes against
shifting. Safeguard the attenuation ele-
ments of the drum suspension against
overload by means of a support.
• Remove square timbers, wedges and ten-
sioning ropes completely before unload-
ing.
• All safety devices removed for transport
purposes (anti-rollover device ROPS, han-
dles, silencers etc.) must be installed to
the machine prior to using it.
