4. Safety
General All safety instructions must be read and complied with, as
non-compliance will result in
- Danger to life and limb of the user,
- Impairments to the machine or other property.
In addition to the operating manual, the accident-prevention
regulations in the country where the appliance is used must be
complied with.
Intended use The machine should only be used in technically faultless
condition, as intended, in a safety-conscious and hazard-
conscious manner, and in compliance with the instructions in
the operating manual.
Malfunctions that impair safety must be eliminated without
delay.
The machine is designed exclusively for compacting:
- Sand,
- Gravel,
- Crushed rock,
- Semi-cohesive mixed material.
The operator's work position is behind the machine. The
operator must guide the machine safely with both hands on
the handle.
Non-intended use Unless used as intended, the machine involves a risk of
personal injury and property damage. The machine is
expressly not suitable for:
- Use as a ladder or step,
- Use as a tool for driving stakes into the ground,
- Operation in an explosive atmosphere.
The responsibility for any damage arising from non-intended
use falls on the owner / operator rather than the manufacturer.
Damage that can be attributed to non-intended use of the
machine will void any warranty claims.
Residual risk There is always an increased risk of accidents in the
immediate danger area around the machine if the operator
fails to notice persons in the vicinity of the machine.
Make anyone close to the machine aware of this risk. The
operator must not put the machine into operation unless
everyone in the vicinity of the machine is aware of this risk.

Requirements on the operator This soil compactor may only be operated 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.
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.
Personal protective equipment Personal protective equipment must be worn during operation
and while performing maintenance on the machine.
It consists of:
- protective goggles,
- hearing protection,
- work shoes or boots with toe guard.
Danger areas The immediate danger area is the direct perimeter around the
machine. This area is o󰀨-limits to third parties.
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 accessories 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
There is danger of material damage if the machine is
started before necessary maintenance or repairs have been
completed. Make sure every time before starting the machine
that all work on the machine has been completed.
To avoid injuries, the machine must not be started unless the
operator wears the required personal protective equipment.
Objects placed on top of the machine may fall or be ung o󰀨
during operation or when the machine is started. Therefore,
remove all loose objects or tools before starting the machine.
During operation There is a crushing hazard under the tamping foot during
operation.
The personal protective equipment will protect the toes, but not
the entire foot. Do not step under the tamping foot.
Monitor the surroundings to avoid injury to third parties or
material damage.

Parking the machine Always park the machine on a level subsurface with su󰀩cient
bearing capacity.
Parked machines presenting an obstacle must be secured in
accordance with statutory regulations, particularly in the area
of public tra󰀩c surfaces.
Suspend operation and shut down the machine if detecting
damage on the machine during operation.
Cleaning work 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.
Perform cleaning tasks only in rooms that are suitable and
have been approved for that purpose. Residual oil and
lubricants that may have been rinsed o󰀨 have a negative
impact on the environment and must be collected by suitable
means (e.g. oil separator).
Remove the battery prior to cleaning.
The engine and the control unit must not be cleaned with a
high-pressure cleaner.
The machine 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. The ndings of the
inspection must be stored in writing until the time of the next
inspection.

Maintenance personnel must be instructed on how to operate
the machine by the owner or by the owner's assigned
personnel.
Maintenance personnel are required to wear the personal
protective equipment during work (see section “Safety“).
Safety There is an increased risk of injury during maintenance and
repairs, e.g. crushing at moving parts.
Following the conclusion of all maintenance and repairs,
all protective xtures must be retted and placed back into
operation.
Discharged operating uids have a negative impact on the
environment. They must be collected and stored in suitable
containers. Disposal in accordance with environmental
protection regulations.
All maintenance work may only be carried out when the engine
