General information
1 General information
Information relating to the user manual
General
This user manual contains fundamental information that is to be
observed during the operation and maintenance of the MOBA-
Matic.
A prerequisite for safe operation is the compliance with all
specified safety and handling instructions.
It is therefore essential that this user manual be read and utilised
by every person who is assigned with the works, such as e.g.
operation, troubleshooting and maintenance (service, care).
The user manual is an integral part of the product and must be
passed on to third parties or subsequent owners together with the
product when applicable. It must be accessible to the operating
personnel at the location where the product is used at all times.
In addition, the local accident prevention regulations for the area
of application of the product, the general safety regulations and
the safety requirements of the machine manufacturer must be
observed at all times.

General information
9
Due to the multiplicity of the possible applications, the function
range of the MOBA-Matic in this user manual is primarily
explained on the example of a blacktop paver.
Experience has shown that this is the machine model on which
the MOBA-Matic is most frequently used.
The MOBA-Matic is available equipped with a wide range of
sensor combinations.
When working with your MOBA-Matic System, always execute the
works according to this user manual. If your system is not
equipped with all sensors, then the description of these sensors
is irrelevant for you.
Rights to
amendments
We have taken every effort to ensure that this user manual is
correct and up-to-date. To maintain our technological advantage,
it may however be necessary to initiate amendments to the
product and its operation without prior notice which may, in
