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 may impair safety require that you stop
working with the machine immediately. These types of damage
must be reported and corrected 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:
- compacting frozen subsurfaces,
- compacting hard soils that cannot be compacted
further,
- compacting non-bearing material,
- compacting highly cohesive soils,
- compacting (ramming) that exerts point loads on
the base plate,
- crushing and compacting individual rocks.
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.

8
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
After horizontal transport, the oil may have spread inside the
engine. To prevent damage to the engine, the machine must
be brought to the vertical position for several minutes until the
oil has collected in the lower area of the crankcase.
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.
If the gas cap is open, fuel may escape and ignite on the
engine when the machine is started or while it is operating.
There is a risk of burns. Therefore, do not start the machine
unless the gas cap is closed.
Requirements on the operator This soil compactor may only be operated by suitable
operators who are 18 years or older. 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.
The machine must not be operated by children.

Start-up procedure Do not 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 and result in damage to the
engine.
There is danger of su󰀨ocation if the operator starts up the
machine in closed rooms or in deep and tight trenches.
Operating the machine in closed rooms is prohibited. Provide
for an adequate supply of air 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.
Suspend operation and shut down the machine if detecting
damage on the machine during operation.
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.
Engine and exhaust heat up during operation and can cause
burns on contact. Therefore, do not touch these 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 machine must not be fueled unless the engine is switched
o󰀨.
When coming into contact with fuels, the rubber-bonded metal
bu󰀨ers of the machine may become damaged or ine󰀨ective.
Therefore, wipe spilled fuel carefully o󰀨 the rubber-bonded
metal bu󰀨ers.

10
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.
Inspection
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).
Safe handling of combustion
engines
Combustion engines pose a particular risk during operation.
Their exhaust emissions contain carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas that is extremely hazardous, which, if inhaled
even briey, can cause unconsciousness and death.
Therefore, never inhale the exhaust gas.
