2. Description
The machine is a radio-controlled, type MC 85 trench roller
with articulated steering.
The machine is composed of two separate halves which are
interlinked by a so-called articulated joint.
The front section houses two drums, an exciter, the diesel engine
and the hydraulic pumps. The diesel engine powers the pumps
used for the hydraulic system.
The rear section houses two drums, an exciter and the hydraulic
and diesel tank.
The machine is controlled with a radio remote control.
All functions of the roller (drive, steer, vibrate) are controlled hydrau-
lically. The parking brake engages automatically by spring force.
Located on the machine is a key switch that is used to activate
the receiver on the machine.
The machine
The radio remote control The machine is operated with the help of a radio remote control.
Since controlling the machine from a safe distance, the operator
is protected throughout operation. The operator can, for instance,
remain in a position above the machine to monitor and control it
while performing compacting operations in trenches.
The remote control furthermore comes with a safety shutdown system
which will stop the movement of the machine if the operator holding
the remote control moves closer than 2 meters to the machine or
moves away from it farther than 20 meters.
The radio system transmits signals to two receiver antennas which
are located below the hoods of the machine. Sent from the hand-
held transmitter to the antennas, the radio signals control the
machine. The machine can still be used as intended if only one
antenna receives the signal transmitted by the remote control.
Even it multiple machines are used in narrow spaces, it is the re-
sponsibility of each operator to ensure no one is in the danger area
of their own machine. The control will independently detect another
machine operating in its vicinity and adjust its frequency accordingly.
However,sinceitwillnotdetecttheneareldrangeofanother
control, the operator is required to pay attention to other machine
operators in the vicinity.

– protective goggles,
– hearing protection,
– work shoes or boots with toe guard
must be worn during operation and the execution of maintenance
on the machine.
Danger areas The immediate danger area is in a two-meter perimeter around
the machine.
Thisareaiso󰀨-limitstoboththeoperatorandthirdpartieswhile
the machine is in operation.
Third parties in particular also need to use caution outside of the
immediatedangerareaastheywillnotbedetectedbythenear-eld
shutdown system of the remote control. The operator may steer
the machine in an unexpected direction and hit third parties.
If the machine is operated close to edges or terraces, staying in the
area below the machine is forbidden as the machine may fall down.
Safety devices and
protective xtures
To keep the operator protected, the machine is equipped with
anear-eldshutdownsystem.Itpreventstheoperatorfrom
being hit or run over by the machine themselves.
Itsoperationisdescribedinthesection“Shut-o󰀨devices”.
Besidesthenear-eldshutdownsystem,themachineisalso
equipped with a remote shutdown system designed to protect
third parties. It keeps the operator from operating the machine
beyond its range (20 meters).
Itsoperationisdescribedinthesection“Shut-o󰀨devices”.
These safety devices are intended to protect the operator and
thirdpartiesandmustnotbemodiedordisabled.
Every day before work the safety devices must be checked for
properoperationfollowingthesection“Testingthesafetydevices”.
Requirements on
the operator
This soil compactor may only be driven by suitable operators
who are of legal age. They must be instructed on how to operate
the machine by the owner or by the owner’s assigned personnel.
Theoperatormustcomplywithtra󰀩cregulations.Ifinstructions
thata󰀨ectsafetyaregivenbytheownerorthirdparties,then
the operator must be authorized to reject these instructions.
Maintenanceandrepairsrequirespecicqualications.
These operations may only be carried out by trained professionals.
The machine must not be operated by children.

10
Spare parts, changes
and conversions
Changes and conversions are prohibited unless made with original
WeberMTspareparts.Ifthemachineismodiedwithotheracces-
sories without the approval of Weber MT, the manufacturer will not
assume liability for any resulting personal injury or property damage.
All maintenance and repairs must be carried out with original
WeberMTspareparts.Untestedsparepartsmaya󰀨ectthe
reliability and safety of the machine.
Before starting
the machine
The machine must not be started unless the lock on the articulated
joint has been removed and stowed in the rear section of the machine.
If both halves of the machine are connected by the lock,
the operator will not be able to steer the machine.
The machine must not be started while maintenance or repairs
are pending.
The machine must not be started unless the operator is wearing
the required personal protective equipment.
The machine must not be started if loose objects have been placed
on top of it.
The machine must not be started unless the hoods have been closed.
The machine must not be started unless all safety devices have
been properly attached.
Start-up procedure It is forbidden to disperse any sprays or other agents into the air
intake while the machine is starting up.
They may lead to overheating in the combustion chamber.
Before the machine can start, drive and steering lever must be in
theneutralpositionandthevibrationsystemmustbeswitchedo󰀨.
This prevents the machine from starting to move unexpectedly
during the start-up procedure.
Immediately following the start-up procedure, all control indicators
on the display of the remote control must go out. There may be
a technical defect if a warning remains. In this case, the engine
mustbeswitchedo󰀨andthecausemustbeidentiedandrectied.
Thereisdangerofsu󰀨ocationintheimmediatevicinityofthemachine
if the operator starts up the machine in closed rooms or in trenches.
Operating the machine in closed rooms is prohibited. An adequate
supply of air must be ensured before the machine is started.

11
To avoid personal injury and property damage, the operator must
monitortheentiresurroundingsatalltimes.Itwillnotsu󰀩ceto
only monitor the immediate danger area as the machine may tip
suddenly and unexpectedly on account of potential landslides or
other types of unforeseen changes in the ground.
The occurrence of unusual noises may point to a defect. In this case,
stop and machine and shut it down. Identify and rectify the cause.
Special caution must be used in the vicinity of pits, embankments
or similar types of terraces. Before the machine is driven onto such
places, it must be ensured that the ground can support the weight of
the machine.
The machine must not be driven up inclines unless they are smaller
than the maximum incline capacity of the machine. Before driving
up inclines, the operator must ensure that the subsurface is suitable
and cannot cause the machine to skid.
For more information on how to drive up inclines, refer to the section
“Safedriving”.
As a general rule, only drive up and down inclines parallel with
the slope. If driving up crosswise to the slope regardless, make sure
not to exceed the maximum tilt angle. This angle was calculated on
a straight and level surface with the machine at a standstill.
Using the machine with the vibration, steering or abrupt driving
maneuvers and the conditions of the ground may reduce the
tilt angle dramatically and cause the machine to tip over.
Parking the machine Parkthemachineonalevelsubsurfacewithsu󰀩cientbearingcapacity.
Whenleavingthemachine,theoperatormustswitcho󰀨the
machine, pull the key from the key switch, and secure the machine
against unauthorized use.
Parked machines presenting an obstacle must be secured in
accordance with statutory regulations, particularly in the area of
publictra󰀩csurfaces.
Engine and exhaust heat up during operation and can cause
burns on contact. Therefore, do not touch the components during
operationorshortlyaftertheenginewasswitchedo󰀨.
Fueling the machine Spilled fuel may ignite and has a negative impact on the environment.
Therefore,wipeupspilledfuelandmakesurethegascapisrmly
tightened after fueling.
Fuelvaporsareeasilyammable.Donotsmokeandkeepaway
fromopenrewhilerefuelingthemachine.
Theenginemustnotbefueledunlessithasbeenswitchedo󰀨.
During operation

12
Maintenance The roller must be inspected in accordance with the corresponding
implementation conditions and operating conditions to ensure its
operationally safe status. This inspection should be performed as
needed by an expert – however, no less than once a year or every
150operatinghours.Thendingsoftheinspectionmustbestored
in writing until the time of the next inspection.
Maintenance and repairs must not be performed unless all drives
are at a standstill and the articulated joint has been secured.
Deviations from this precaution are not permissible unless
warranted for the completion of the work. The roller must be
secured against rolling away before work commences.
Prior to work on unsecured parts of the electrical system,
the combustion engine must be safeguarded against unintentional
start. This requires that the electrical connection to the battery or
the starter be interrupted.
Following the conclusion of all maintenance and repairs, all protective
xturesmustberettedandplacedbackintooperation.
Dischargedoperatinguidsmustbecollectedandstoredinsuitable
containers. Disposal in accordance with environmental protection
regulations.
Useclearwaterforcleaning.Donotuseammablesolvents.
The vapors of the solvents may ignite upon contact with hot
components or other sparks.
The radiator cover cap may only be opened when the radiator
is cold. Hot coolant is pressurized. Opening the radiator while it
is still hot can lead to severe burns.
Before starting the machine after maintenance operations,
make sure that all loose parts (screws, tool, etc.) have been
removed from the machine. They be drawn in by moving parts.
The entire machine must be kept clean. The stickers must always
be clearly legible. Damaged stickers must be replaced.
Cleaning work Cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner is only allowed in the bottom
section of the machine. The top section of the machine must be
cleaned with a weaker jet of water.
To prevent environmental pollution, cleaning tasks may only be
executed in areas that are suitable and have been approved for
this purpose (e.g. drain with oil separator).
