Loading the machineUse only strong and stable loading ramps. Theramp inclination must be lower than the gradabilityof the machine.Secure the machine against turning over or slip-ping off.Secure the machine on the transport vehicleagainst rolling off, slipping and turning over.Persons are highly endangered ifl they step or stand under loads being liftedl they remain in the drive range of the machine

during a demonstration or during loading.The machine must not swing about when lifted offthe ground.Use only safe lifting gear of sufficient load bearingcapacity.Attach the lifting gear only to the specified liftingpoints.

Towing the machineSince the machine is not fitted with a towing hitch,the machine cannot be towed with a tow bar.If the machine has to be towed urgently out of thedanger zone because of other risks, this must onlybe done on level ground or uphill using chains andropes. For this purpose towing ropes of sufficienttensile strength must be fastened on the liftingeyes.After releasing the brake the machine can only bebraked by the towing vehicle.Before releasing the brake block the machine withchocks to prevent unintended rolling.

Checking the Roll Over ProtectionStructure (ROPS)

i NoteOn machines with cabin the ROPS is an integralpart of the cabin.The machine frame must not be distorted, bent orcracked in the area of the ROPS fastening points.The ROPS must not show any signs of corrosion,damage, hairline cracks or open fractures.The ROPS must not rattle about during driving.This would mean that it is not properly fastened.All bolted connections must be in accordance withthe prescribed specifications and correctly tight-ened (observe the tightening torque values).Screws and nuts must not be damaged, bent ordeformed.With the cabin installed check also the condition ofthe cabin mounts (rubber elements and screws).Neither must any additional parts be welded orbolted on, nor must any holes be drilled without thepermission of the manufacturer, since this may im-pair the strength of the structure.

Starting the machineBefore startingOperation of the machine is only permitted whensitting in the operator's seat.Use only machines which have been properlyserviced at regular intervals.BOMAG 15BW 213 DH-4/PDH-4 BVC

Safety regulationsBecome acquainted with the equipment, the con-trol elements, the working mode of the machineand the area you will be working in.Use your personal protective outfit (hard hat, safe-ty boots etc.).Check before mounting the machine if:l there are persons or obstructions beside or

under the machinel the machine is free of any oily and combustible

materiall all handrails, steps and platforms are free of

grease, oils, fuels, dirt, snow and icel the engine compartment hood is closed and

lockedTo climb onto the machine use steps and hand-rails.Check before starting, whether:l the machine shows any obvious defectsl all protective devices are properly secured in

their placel steering, brakes, control elements, lighting

and warning horn are in orderl the seat is correctly adjustedl the mirrors (if available) are clean and correct-

ly adjusted.Do not start the machine if any gauges, controllights or controls are defective.Do not take any loose objects with you or fastenthem to the machine.On machines with ROPS you should always wearyour seat belt!

StartingStart and operate the machine only from the oper-ator's seatFor starting set all control levers to "neutral posi-tion".Do not use any starting aids such as Start Pilot orether.After starting check all gauges.

Starting with jump leadsConnect plus with plus and minus with minus(ground cable) - always connect the ground cablelast and disconnect it first! Wrong connectionsmay cause severe damage in the electric system.

Never start the engine by bridging the electricalconnections on the starter, because the machinewould probably start to move immediately.

Starting in closed roomsExhaust gases are toxic! Always ensure an ade-quate supply of fresh air when starting in closedrooms!

Driving the machinePersons in the endangered areaIf the machine has turned over and the cabin dooris jammed, use the right hand cabin window as anemergency exit.Before starting or resuming work and especiallywhen driving backwards, check that there are nopersons or obstructions in the endangered area.If necessary give warning signals. Stop work im-mediately if persons remain in the danger area de-spite the warning.Do not step or stand into the articulation area ofthe machine while the engine is running. Danger ofsquashing!

DrivingIn events of emergency actuate the emergencystop switch immediately. Do not use the emergen-cy stop push button as service brake.Restart the machine only after the danger, that hascaused the actuation of the emergency stop, hasbeen eliminated.If the machine has come in contact with high-volt-age power lines:l do not leave the operator's standl warn others from coming too close to the ma-

chine or touching itl if possible drive the machine out of the danger

zone

l have the power shut off.Operate the machine only from the operator'sseat.Keep the cabin doors closed.Do not adjust the seat while driving.Do not climb onto or off the machine while driving.Change the travel direction only while the machineis standing.BOMAG16 BW 213 DH-4/PDH-4 BVC

Safety regulationsDo not use the machine to transport persons.Stop the machine if you notice unusual noises orthe development of smoke. Investigate the causeand have the fault corrected.Keep a sufficient distance to excavations and em-bankments and make sure that you work does notimpair the stability of the machine.Do not work with vibration on hard concrete, on acured concrete layer or heavily frozen ground.When passing under flyovers, bridges, tunnels,electric power lines etc. keep a sufficient distance.

Driving on slopes and gradientsDo not drive up and down gradients, which exceedthe max. gradability of the machine.On lopes always drive directly up or down. Changeto the lower speed range before approaching theslope.Wet and loose soils reduce the ground adhesion ofthe machine and inclinations and slopes consider-ably. Higher risk of accident!

Behaviour in trafficMatch the speed of the machine to the workingconditions.Always allow loaded transport vehicles to pass.Switch the lights on when the visibility is poor.Keep clear of edges and embankments.

Check the effect of vibrationWhen compacting with vibration check the effectof the vibration on nearby buildings and under-ground supply lines (gas, water, sewage, electricpower supply), stop vibratory compaction if neces-sary.Do not work with vibration on hard (frozen, con-crete) ground. Risk of bearing damage!

Parking the machinePark the machine on level and firm ground.Before leaving the machine:l straighten the articulated joint to allow easy

access to and from the machine.l return the travel lever to neutral positionl apply the parking brakel shut the engine down and pull the ignition key

out.

l lock the cabinl secure the machine against unauthorized use.Do not jump off the machine, use access stepsand hand rails.Always secure parked machines, which could bein the way, with appropriate measures.

Parking on slopes and gradientsSecure the machine against rolling, place metalchocks in front of and behind the drums.

Filling the fuel tankDo not inhale fuel fumes.Refuel only after shutting the engine and the aux-iliary heater down.Do not refuel in closed rooms.No open fire, do not smoke.Do not spill any fuel. Catch running out fuel, do notlet it seep into the ground.Wipe off spilled fuel. Keep fuel free of dirt and wa-ter.Leaking fuel tanks can cause explosions. Ensuretight fit of the fuel tank filling cover, replace it if nec-essary.

Fire protection measuresMake yourself acquainted with the location and theoperation of fire extinguishers. Observe fire warn-ing and fire fighting installations.

Maintenance workComply with the maintenance work described inthe operating and maintenance instructions, in-cluding the information concerning the replace-ment of parts.Support the engine hood for all maintenance andrepair work in the engine compartment.Maintenance work must only be performed byqualified and authorized persons.For overhead maintenance and assembly workuse the access steps and working platforms pro-vided or other secure means. Do not use machineparts as access steps.Keep unauthorized persons away from the ma-chine.Do not perform maintenance work while the ma-chine is driving or the engine is running.BOMAG 17BW 213 DH-4/PDH-4 BVC

Safety regulationsPark the machine on horizontal, level, firm ground.Pull the key out of the ignition switch.Secure the articulated joint with the articulationlock.

Work on hydraulic linesRelieve hydraulic pressures before working on hy-draulic lines. Hydraulic oil escaping under pres-sure can penetrate the skin and cause severeinjury. When being injured by hydraulic oil consulta medical doctor immediately, as otherwise thismay cause severe infections.Do not step in front of or behind the drums/wheelswhen performing adjustment work in the hydraulicsystem.Do not change the setting of pressure relief valves.Drain the hydraulic oil at operating temperature danger of scalding!Catch running out hydraulic oil and dispose of en-vironmentally.Always catch and dispose of hydraulic oils sepa-rately.Do not start the engine after draining the hydraulicoil.Once all work is completed (with the system stilldepressurized!) check all connections and fittingsfor leaks.

Changing hydraulic hosesHydraulic hoses must be visually inspected at reg-ular intervals.Hydraulic hoses must be immediately replaced if:l the outer layer is damaged down to the inlay

(e.g. chafing, cuts, cracks)l the outer layer is brittle (formation of cracks in

the hose material)l the hose shows deformations in pressurized

and depressurized condition, which do notcomply with the genuine shape of the hydrau-lic hose

l the hose shows deformations in bends, e.g.squeezing, buckling, layer separation, forma-tion of blisters

l parts of the hose are leaking.l hoses are not correctly installed.l the hydraulic hose has separated from the fit-

ting

l the fitting shows corrosion that impairs bothfunction and strength.

l hoses are mixed up by mistake.l fittings are damaged or deformed, whereby

the function and strength of the hose/hoseconnection is impaired.

Only genuine BOMAG replacement hydraulic hos-es ensure that the correct hose type (pressurerange) is used at the right location.Working on the engineShut the engine down before opening the enginehood.Do not work on the fuel system while the engine isrunning - danger to life due to high pressures!l Wait another minute after the engine has

stopped.l Keep out of the danger zone during the initial

test rung.l In case of leaks return to the workshop imme-

diately.l Make sure that the engine cannot be started

unintentionally during service and repair work.Drain the engine oil at operating temperature danger of scalding!Wipe off spilled oil, catch running out oil and dis-pose of environmentally.Store used filters and other oil contaminated ma-terials in a separate, specially marked containerand dispose of environmentally.Do not leave any tools or other objects, that couldcause damage, in the engine compartment.The settings for idle speed and highest speedmust not be changed, since this would affect theexhaust gas values and cause damage to engineand power train.Turbo chargers work with high speeds and hightemperatures. Keep hands, tools and materialsaway from the intake and outlet openings of thenturbo charger and do not touch any hot surfaces.Check and change coolant only when the engineis cold.Catch coolant and dispose of environmentally.BOMAG18 BW 213 DH-4/PDH-4 BVC

Safety regulationsWorking on electric parts of the machineBefore starting to work on electric parts of the ma-chine disconnect the battery and cover it with insu-lating material.Do not use fuses with higher ampere ratings anddo not repair fuses with a piece of wire. Fire haz-ard!Disconnect the battery before starting weldingwork on the machine.

Working on the batteryWhen working on the battery do not smoke, do notuse open fire!Do not let acid come in contact with hands orclothes! When injured by acid flush off with clearwater and seek medical advice.Metal objects (e.g. tools, rings, watch straps) mustnot come in contact with the battery poles dan-ger of short circuit and burning!When recharging serviceable batteries remove allplugs, to avoid the accumulation of explosive gas-es.

Observe the applicable instructions when startingwith an auxiliary battery.Dispose of old batteries according to regulations.Switch off the charging current before removingthe charging clamps.Ensure sufficient ventilation, especially if the bat-tery is to be charged in a closed room.

Working on the fuel systemDo not inhale any fuel fumes.Avoid open fire, do not smoke, do not spill any fuel.Catch running out fuel, do not let it seep into theground and dispose off environmentally.

Working on wheels and tiresExplosion-like bursting of tires or parts of tires andrims can cause most severe or even deadly inju-ries.Assembly of tires must only be performed with ap-propriate experience and tools. If necessary havetires assembled in a qualified workshop.Always ensure the correct tire pressure and do notexceed the specified maximum pressure.Check tires and wheels every day for specifiedpressure, cuts, bulges, damaged rims, missing

wheel studs or nuts. Do not drive with damagedtires or wheels.Ant-sticking emulsions for tires must only consistof water and anti-sticking agent, in a concentrationin accordance with the specifications of the manu-facturer of the anti-sticking agent. Observe appli-cable environmental regulations.

Cleaning workDo not perform cleaning work while the engine isrunning.Do not use gasoline or other easily inflammablesubstances for cleaning.When cleaning with steam cleaning equipment donot subject electrical parts and insulation materialto the direct jet of water, or cover it beforehand.l Do not guide the water jet into the exhaust and

into the air filter.

After maintenance workAfter all maintenance work is completed reinstallall guards and safety installations.

RepairMark a defective machine by attaching a warningtag to the steering wheel.Repair work must only be performed by qualifiedand authorized persons. Use our repair instruc-tions for this work.Exhaust gases are highly dangerous! Always en-sure an adequate supply of fresh air when startingin closed rooms!Do not work on the fuel system while the engine isrunning - danger to life!The system is under high pressure! Keep awayfrom leakages in the high pressure system, be-cause fuel squirting out may cause severe injury.After shutting down the engine wait for anotherminute, until the pressure has dropped to a per-missible level. In case of leakages you should con-tact the Service Department of the enginemanufacturer and refrain from starting the engine.

! CautionA wrong connection will cause severe damagein the electric system.l Bridge the machine only with a 12 Volt auxilia-

ry battery.l When jump starting with an external battery

connect both plus poles first.l Then connect the ground cable first to the mi-

nus pole of the current supplying auxiliary bat-tery and then to engine or chassis ground, asfar away from the battery as possible (Fig. 44).

l Start as described under 'Starting the engine'.l Once the engine is running switch on a power-

ful consumer (working light, etc.).

! CautionIf no powerful consumer is switched on volt-age peaks may occur when separating the con-necting cables between the batteries, whichcould damage electrical components.l After starting disconnect the negative poles

(ground cable) first and the positive poles af-ter.

l Switch off the consumer.BOMAG 51BW 213 DH-4/PDH-4 BVC

Operation4.5 Driving the machine

! DangerDanger of accident!Wet and loose soils considerably reduce theground adhesion of the machine on inclina-tions and slopes.Soil conditions and weather influences impairthe gradability of the machine.Do not drive up and down inclinations exceed-ing the maximum gradability of the machine(see technical data).Do not drive without wearing your seat belt.Always give way to loaded transport vehicles!Before starting to drive make sure that thedrive range is absolutely safe.

! CautionAlways keep the cabin door closed while driv-ing with the machine. With the door openedand the machine fully articulated extreme os-cillations of the machine may damage thedoor.

i NoteThe machine is equipped with an armrest monitor-ing system and a seat contact switch (safety fea-ture).If the armrest is raised or the driver gets up fromhis seat while driving, the warning horn is activatedand the machine is decelerated to standstill afterfour seconds. If the armrest is lowered again or thedriver sits down again within four seconds the ma-chine will continue the travel.Lower the armrest or sit down on the seat againbefore resuming operation, engage the travel le-ver in "0"-position (brake position), then operatethe travel lever again to the desired travel direc-tion.

4.20 Measuring pass with Vario-control

General notes

i NoteThe soil measuring values (EVIB) recorded duringdifferent passes can only be compared if the re-cording of measuring values took place in operat-ing mode "Manual" with the same amplitude,frequency and travel speed and on exactly thesame track.A change in travel speed would affect the measur-ing result, because e.g. with a slow travel speedper pass the energy introduced into the ground ishigher and in the comparison of all passes a high-er soil measuring value would be displayed.The following description describes an measuringpass in forward. Measuring passes in manual re-verse must be performed accordingly.Measuring values must only be compared forpasses performed in the same direction.
