2.4.2 Safety procedures using the VM-301-PAVERMAX
●The load has to be lowered down to approximately 20 cm above ground during driving actions.
●The max. carrying capacity with the laying machine VM-301-PAVERMAX , the attachments and the lifted
loads must not be exceeded!
●The driver has to pull the hand break before leaving the driver’s seat.
●During operation of the machine the driver is responsible for the safe condition of the machine.
●Driving around curves or on uneven ground max. speed must not exceed 7 km/h which is 1/3 of the max.
speed of the machine.
●No driving speed faster than walking speed when the machine is tilted sideways more than 20°.
●Driving actions of the machine without any lifting device attached not quicker than walking speed, danger
to tip over.
●When working on uneven ground always be beware of sufficient standing security.
●Never fill fuel into the tank while the engine is running. Danger of explosion.
●Never use starter spray, in winter always use winter gasoline.
●When working on the electric system always detach the battery.
●Never open the motor hood while the engine is running. Always keep the motor hood closed to avoid
injury and to limit noise emission.
●During the laying work personal is not allowed to be in the driving and working area generally, it is
forbidden to stand underneath suspended load.
●The driver must not leave the driver’s seat as long as load is suspended by the lifting device and the
engine is running.
●Never let the cross-stick or the pedals flip back to the neutral position to avoid hydraulic pressure shocks.
These pressure shocks could damage the components or release the suspended load.

4Description and Operation
In conditional of the outdoor temperature it is absolute
necessary to keep the warm up times at every daily use
(before the first motion of travelling) of the installation
machine VM-301-PAVERMAX .
outdoor temperature over
10°C(50 F):
5 minutes
outdoor temperature
under 10°C(14 F):
10 minutes
Before using the installation machine VM-301-
PAVERMAX account the safety instructions and carry
out the maintenance work.
For a safety and trouble-free operation of the
installation machine VM-301-PAVERMAX is it necessary
to carry out the following the daily checks:
4.1 Daily checks
4.1.1 Fuel level
●Open the lock of the engine cover (1), open engine
cover by pulling the handle (2) and tip the engine
cover backwards.
●You can check the fuel level visually, because the
tank is transparent.
●With a full tank you can work approx. 10-12 hours.
4.1.2 Motor-oil level
●Installation machine VM-301-PAVERMAX has to
stand on even, levelled ground.
●Open the lock of the engine cover, open engine
cover by using handle and tip the engine cover
backwards.
●Pull the oil dip stick (4) out
●Oil level has to be between the two marks
●If oil is missing fill oil into the oil filler (5).
●If there is too much oil drain the oil out through the
oil drain screw on the bottom of the engine

4.1.7 Control displays
Oil pressure control
The oil control light (12) has to be illuminated when the ignition (13) is on step 1.
The light must not be illuminated when the motor is running.
Battery control
The battery control light (14) has to be illuminated when the ignition (13) is on step
1. The light must not be illuminated when the motor is running.
Temperature control
If the water temperature control display (15) is in the red section, the air filter has
to be cleaned or renewed. The cooling fins of the radiator have to be cleaned with
compressed air and the cooling water has to be checked.
If the temperature control display is still in the red section please contact a
qualified workshop.
Pre-heat
Turn ignition to step II until the pre-heat control display (17) is illuminated After a
short time (approx. 25 sec.) the pre-heat control display has to stop the
illumination. This means that the engine can be started now by turning the ignition
to step III
Fuse box
The fuse box is behind the covering of the control displays. For changing fuses
remove the fixing bolts at the control-displays covering.
Horn/Reset –driving (safety
