Safety guidelines
General
All safety instructions must be read and complied with, non-compliance results 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 tamper should only be used in technically faultless condition, as intended, in a safety-conscious
and hazard-conscious manner, in compliance with the instructions in the operating manual.
Malfunctions that impair safety must be eliminated without delay.
The SRV 300 tamper is designed exclusively for compacting
– Sand
– Gravel
– Crushed rock
– Semi-cohesive mixed material.
Any other use of the tamper is considered to be improper use for which the owner shall be
exclusively responsible. All liability is rejected if damage occurs due to non-compliance with
this provision. This risk is borne solely by the user.
Easily foreseeable misuse
Any use for which the machine is not intended.
Operation
Tampers are only permitted to be operated by suitable persons of or above the age of eighteen.
Operators must be instructed in how to guide the tamper by the owner or by owner’s assigned
personnel.
The machine operator must comply with trafc regulations. If instructions that affect safety are
given by third parties, then the operator must be authorized to reject these instructions.
Unauthorized persons are forbidden from being in the area of the tamper during the compacting
process.
Protective equipment
This machine is capable of exceeding the permissible sound level of 80 dB(A). The owner might also
face additional dangers when using the machine. Precautionary action must, therefore, be taken.
Protective equipment includes:
Hearing protection
Hard hat
Safety shoes

Maintenance and repair work
Only use original Weber spare parts to ensure reliable and safe operation for maintenance
or repair work.
Adjusting tasks, maintenance tasks, and inspection tasks must be carried out on schedule as
specied in this operating and maintenance manual. These activities should only be executed
by instructed personnel.
For repair, maintenance, or inspection work the engine of the tamper must be safeguarded against
unintentional starting.
All pressurized lines, particularly hydraulic lines and lines of the injection system of the drive motor
must be depressurized before performing maintenance or repair tasks.
For maintenance and repair tasks the tamper must be placed on a level and stable substrate and
must be secured from rolling off or tipping over.
Heavy components and assemblies must be secured to and lifted by hoisting machines that can
bear their weight when they are replaced. Ensure that no hazard is caused by raising components
or assemblies.
Do not position yourself or work under suspended loads.
Operation under difcult conditions
Never inhale the exhaust gas; it contains carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas that
is extremely hazardous, which, if inhaled even briey, can cause unconsciousness and death.
Therefore, never operate the engines in enclosed areas or in areas that are poorly ventilated
(tunnels, caves, etc.). Exercise particular caution when operating the engine in the vicinity of
people and livestock.
Operation
Prior to starting work the owner of the tamper must be familiar with the work environment. The work
environment includes obstacles in the work and trafc area, the bearing capacity of the ground,
as well as the necessary safeguarding of the construction site in the area adjacent to public trafc;
and it includes compliance with trafc regulations.
The tamper should only be operated when the protective xtures are mounted. The protective xtures
must all be in functional condition.
At least once per shift the tamper must be checked for apparent defects. If there are apparent defects
then operation of the tamper must be stopped immediately and the responsible person must be
informed. Prior to restarting, tamper malfunctions that have occurred must be corrected.
If lubricating oils and fuel come into contact with skin, they can cause skin cancer. Upon contact
with the skin, clean affected skin with suitable cleaning agent without delay.
Repair work on the Honda gasoline engine may only be performed by personnel who have been
instructed and trained by Honda or authorized by Weber. Repairs carried out by personnel who
have not been given training and instructions will void any warranty.

Inspection
Tampers must be inspected in accordance with appropriate implementation conditions and operating
conditions, as needed; however, an inspection to ensure operationally safe status must be performed
by an expert at least once a year. The results of the inspection must be recorded in writing and
must be stored at least until the next inspection.
Cleaning work
Prior to cleaning the tamper with a high-pressure cleaner, protect all accessible energized switches,
cable connections, etc. against water penetration by masking them off.
Cleaning tasks should only be executed in areas that are suitable and have been approved for this
purpose (oil separator amongst others).
Disposal
All operating uids and auxiliary materials must be disposed of in an environmentally-compatible
manner in accordance with country-specic regulations.

Device description
The series SRV 300 tamper is used for road-building, canal construction, pipe laying and
landscaping compaction tasks.
Drive
The tamper is powered by an air-cooled Honda gasoline engine.
Force is transmitted via the centrifugal clutch directly to the tamping system. The compaction work
is performed by the tamping foot.
Operation
Start the Honda gasoline engine with the attached reversing starter.
After starting, the tamping system starts to vibrate via the centrifugal clutch which is attached to the
engine. Use the gas lever to vary the engine speed between idle speed and full-throttle speed.
