General Safety Instructions
General
All safety notes (see also explanations of the pictogram meanings in the preface) must be read and observed (any lack of
clarity must be dispelled before the soil compactor is put into operation), because otherwise the use of the machine may
* constitute a risk to life and limb of the user
* impair the machine and other valuable property.
In addition to these operating instructions and the mandatory accident prevention regulations in the country of use and on
the operating site, the generally accepted technical standards for safe and professional work must be also observed.
Designated Use
Soil compactors are only allowed to be operated in accordance with their designated use, whereby the operating and
maintenance instructions, the generally accepted safety and traffic rules and the regulations of the individual countries of use
must be followed.
The soil compactor has been exclusively designed for the compaction of
- sand
- gravel
- asphalt and crushed stone
- semi-cohesive mixed aggregates
- concrete block pavement.
Any other use of the soil compactor is considered contrary to its designated use. The company operating the soil compactor
bears the sole responsibility for any misuse of the machine.
Driving Permission
Only trustworthy persons, who are aged at least 18 years, are allowed to handle soil compactors. They must be properly trained
in the operation and maintenance of the soil compactor by the employer or his authorized representative.
Protective Equipment
When operating the soil compactor described in this operation and maintenance manual, the noise level at the operator's ear
may exceed 90 dB(A). The German noise protection regulations (BGV-B3) require the operator to wear personal ear protectors
in case of noise levels of 90 dB(A) and more.
Additionally, a safety helmet and safety shoes belong to the protective equipment.

1.2 Machine Description
The CF 4 soil compactors are machines of the walk-behind type used for compaction work in road construction and
landscape applications.
Propulsion
The CF4 soil compactors are driven by a Hatz Diesel engine or a Honda or Robin gasoline engine.
Important!
Please refer to paragraph 1.3 (Specifications) for the performance details of the engine and the whole
machine.
Function
The engine (1/9) drives the vibrator via a V-belt. The vibrator is screwed down to the base plate (1/6) and sets it
vibrating. The vibrating base plate performs the vibration work and travelling motion.
Accessories
A damper plate (2.4.3) and a water sprinkler system (1/1 and 1/8) are available as optional extras. A bolt-on
undercarriage (1/4) is offered to facilitate the machine's transport.
Operation
The soil compactor is started by means of a reversible starter (2/5).
The machine is steered with the handle (1/3). The engine speed is directly controlled on the engine (refer to
paragraph 2.5 and the following paragraphs).

2.1 Safety Precautions for the Operation
Safety and protection devices
Before every shift, the operator must check the operativeness of all controls and safety elements as well as the proper
installation of all protection devices. The soil compactor is only allowed to be operated with all protection devices in
place. The control's functionality is not allowed to be impaired or annulled.
Before starting the soil compactor, the operator must take his personal noise protection measures.
The engine is only allowed to be started if it has been assured that the soil compactor cannot automatically start
moving.
Conduct in Case of Failures
If defective safety devices or other failures which might affect the safe operation of the soil compactor are ascertained,
the supervisor must be informed without delay. In case of malfunctions endangering the unit's operational safety, the
machine must be turned off immediately.
Conduct of the Machine Operator
During the machine's operation, the operator has to constantly supervise the operational safety of the soil compactor.
When running the machine, the operator is not allowed to leave the operating controls of the soil compactor. In addition,
he must always have a sufficient visibility on the soil compactor's zone of operation.The operator must be assisted by a
second person if, because of the operating conditions, the visibility on the zone of operation is restricted.
Stability
Soil compactors must be used and operated in a way ensuring their stability. The machine's stability is especially
endangered on slopes and brinks. Thus, keep clear of slopes and brinks.
Driving and Compacting
When working on slopes, the operator must always walk on the uphill side. Compaction work on slopes exceeding the
maximum gradeability of the soil compactor is prohibited. When working/travelling on slopes, always use extreme
precaution and work directly in uphill or downhill direction.
Moist and loose bases considerably reduce the grip of the soil compactor on slopes. Increased danger of
accident!
Passing unevennesses or kerbs is only allowed at reduced speed. In addition, the soil compactor must be operated in a
way excluding any risk of injury caused by the handle swinging towards the operator.
Do not operate the machine in the slip range of the clutch!
2 Operation
Exhaust Precautions
Never inhale exhaust gasses. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, oderless and extremely dangerous gas
which can cause unconsciousness or death. Never operate the engine inddors or in a poorly ventilated area, such as
tunnerl, cave, etc. Exercise extreme care when operating the engine near people or animals. Keep the exhaust pipe
free of foreign objects.
RAMIRENT

CF-4 11
- Put the soil compactor out of operation as described in
paragraph 2.7.
Danger!
Never use the handle for lifting the machine by crane.
The machine may overturn!!
- Put the crane hook (2/1) into the protection frame (2/2).
Danger!
Only use a lifting tackle and a crane of a sufficient
bearing capacity.
- Lift the soil compactor on the transport vehicle.
Danger!
Do not enter the zone under the suspended load.
Figure 2
2.2 Transport

Short distances on the job site can be covered by the soil
compactor in accordance with paragraph 2.6.
For transporting the compactor over long distances, however,
the machine can be transported by means of a special
undercarriage (refer to paragraph 2.4.4). In addition, the
compactor can be lifted on an appropriate transport vehicle
(truck, trailer) by means a crane.
2.2.1 Loading by Crane
