DPU 130Le 3 Safety
Operator's manual 17
Ear protection
This machine generates noise that exceeds the country-specific permissible
noise levels (individual rating level). It may therefore be necessary to wear ear
protection. You can find the exact value in the chapter Technical Data.
Whenwearingear protectionwhile working,you mustpayattentionandexercise
caution because your hearing is limited, e.g. in case someone screams or a

that apply to the respective means of transportation.
Lifting When lifting the machine, observe the following instructions:
Designate a skilled person to guide you for the lifting procedure.
You must be able to see or hear this person.
Use only suitable and certified hoisting gear, lifting tackle and load-bearing
equipment with sufficient lifting capacities.
Only use the attachment points described in the operator's manual.
Attach the machine securely to the hoisting gear.
Ensure that no one is nearby or under the machine.
Do not climb onto the machine.
Loading the machine

purposes must be re-mounted and fastened before restarting.
Only operate in accordance with the operating instructions.
3.5 Operating safety
Explosible environment
Never operate the machine in a potentially explosive environment.
Work environment
Familiarize yourself with your work environment before you start work. This
includes e.g. the following items:
Obstacles in the work and traffic area.
Load-bearing capacity of the ground.
The measures neededto cordon off the construction site from public traffic in
particular.
The measures needed to secure walls and ceilings.
Options available in the event of an accident.

Start the machine as directed in the operator's manual.

DPU 130Le 3 Safety
Operator's manual 19
Vertical stability
Always ensure that the machine is vertically stable and cannot tip over, roll or
slide away.
Proper operator position
Do not leave the proper operator position while operating the machine.
The intended operator position is behind the machine at a distance of at least
5m.
Leaving the danger area
Injury may be caused by moving machines or flying materials.
Ensure that operators and other persons observe a minimum safety distance of
2 m from the machine.
Caution with movable parts
Keep your hands, feet and loose clothing away from moving or rotating machine
parts. Parts of your body being pulled in or crushed can cause serious injuries.
Turning off engine and deactivating machine
Turn off the engine and deactivate the machine and remote control in the
following situations:
Before breaks.
If you are not using the machine.
Store the machine in such a way that it cannot tilt, fall or slip.
Storage location
After operation, allow the machine to cool and then store it in a sealed-off, clean
and dry location protected against frost and inaccessible to children.
Not using starter sprays
Highly flammable starter sprays pose a fire hazard.
Do not use any starter sprays.
Starter sprays are highly flammable and can cause backfiring and engine
damage.

3.6 Safety during the operation of vibratory plates
Danger of falling over
Operate the machine so that it cannot tip over or fall down from bordered areas,
edges and steps.
Load-carrying capacity of the ground
Keep in mind that the load-carrying capacity of the earth to be compressed or
bed can be greatly reduced by the effects of vibration, for example near slopes.
Avoid crushing
When operating the machine, pay particular attention to avoid being squeezed
between the machine and an obstacle. Always look in the direction of travel!
Compacting on slopes
The following points must be observed if you plan to compact inclined surfaces
(slopes, escarpments):
Always stand above the machine on a slope.
Start at the bottom of a slope (slopes that can be easily managed in an
upward direction can be safely traveled in a downward direction also).
Never stand in a position where the machine could possibly fall. A slipping or
tipping machine can cause serious injuries.
Not exceeding the maximum tilt position
Do not exceed the maximum tilt position (see chapter Technical Data).
Only operate the machine at maximum tilt for short periods of time.
If you exceed the maximum tilt, the engine lubrication system will fail and thus
inevitably damage important engine parts.
