3.1. Safety & Other Measures during Machine Maintenance

3.1.1. Safety during Machine Maintenance

Lubrication, maintenance & adjustments must be carried out:

• By trained specialists • In line with safety instructions given in the Vibrating

Roller Operation Manual • According to the time intervals as stated in Lubrication

Table following the hours of actual operation • With the Machine located on a flat fixed surface secured against self-motion (wedges and with the steering joint locked • With the wiring disconnected and the ignition key removed • On the cooled down parts of the Machine • Following the cleaning of the Machine, of lubrication points & maintenance points and of repair points • Using proper undamaged tools • Replacing with new original parts per the Spare Parts

Catalogue • With sufficient lighting of the entire Machine when under lowered visibility or at night • With the guards (covers) and safety elements reinstalled upon work completion, if previously dismantled

• Together with retightening bolted connections – using proper torque, and checking tightness of the connections • Following the heating of operation fillings (danger of burns). Use recommended refills only.

3.1.2. Fire precautions when refilling

• In terms of fire safety the flammable liquids applied at the Machine split into the following Danger Numbers:

Danger Number II – Diesel Oil

Danger Number IV - Mineral Oils, Lubricating Greases • Place the oil exchange point where it does not interfere with explosion / fire hazard areas. • Label with Tables and No Smoking & No Open Fire

Signs. • Design the size of handling area so it can catch the amount of flammable liquid equal to the capacity of the largest vessel, shipping container. • Fit it with portable fire extinguishers. • Use containers like metal barrels, jerricans, tin cans to handle the oils, Diesel oil. • Confirm the shipping containers are properly closed during storage. • Make sure the containers have one hole, and are stored with their hole up, and secured against their contents purring out or dripping. • Label the containers with indelible inscription specifying the content & flammability number.

Confirm all safeguard equipment functions are OK once adjustments or maintenance are completed!

3.1.3. Ecological & Hygienic Principles

When operating and maintaining the machines a User must follow general health & environment protection principles along with the acts, public notices & regulations related to these issues and effective within the territory a machine is used.

3.1.3.1.Hygienic Principles

• Oil products, refrigerants, accumulator refilling, plus painting materials (coating compositions) incl. thinners are materials causing health hazards. Workers that come into contact with these products during machine operation or maintenance must observe general principles of health self-protection and follow safety & hygienic instructions of these products’ manufacturers.

• Please note the following in particular: - Protect your Eyes & skin when handling the accumulators - Protect your skin when handling oil products, painting materials and cooling liquids - Wash your hands upon work completion and before taking meals; treat your hands with reparation (recovery) cream - Observe machine operating instructions when handling its cooling systems. • ALWAYS store oil products, refilling of cooling systems and accumulators plus paints incl. organic thinners and also the cleaning & preserving agents in their genuine original properly identified packages.

Never store these materials in unlabelled bottles or other vessels due to exchange hazard. Especially hazardous is the potential of being mistaken with eatables or beverages. • Upon skin, mucosa or eye contacts, or vapor inhalation, you must apply first aid measures instantly.

During accidental ingestion of these products you must call for prompt medical attention. • Use always ear protectors (muffs) of proper type and construction when operating the Machine in cases the

Machine is not fitted with the cabin or cabin windows are opened.

3.1.3.2.Ecological Principles

Once disposed of (dismantled, refilled) the fillings of the Machine’s individual systems and some of its parts become waste with hazardous properties in terms of the environment.

This waste product category includes the following: - Organic or synthetic lubricants, oils and fuels - Brake fluids - Cooling liquids - Accumulator charges and accumulators themselves - Air conditioner refills - Cleaning & preserving agents - All the dismantled filters & filter elements - All the worn & discarded hydraulic hoses & fuel hose, metal rubbers and other elements of the Machine fouled by the abovementioned products.

Following the disposal of the given materials and parts these must be handled under the respective National Environmental Policy Regulations, and in line with Health Regulations.
