1.1.2 Description
Our long experience in the development and construction of vibratory trench
rollers is the basis for the new development of the infrared and/or cable controlled
RX 1510-CI. The enormous degree of operating convenience, which provides
both for cable and infrared control, permits the user to make even more flexible
use of the machine. The hard-wearing, compact design offers a high degree
of security even in the most difficult terrain. The RX 1510-CI is equipped with
hydrostatic steering, vibration, and drive. The machine is extremely maintenance
friendly (with the exception of the diesel engine), no V-belts, drive belts, lubrication
nipples or shiftable clutches are used. Most modern control electronics, as well
as the proven 8 strippers for the drums characterise this machine.
1.1.3 Areas of application
The vibratory trench roller RX 1510-CI is a roller particularly designed for trench
compaction. The complete lack of side walls on the drum enables compaction right
up to the trench wall also in very small and narrow trenches. Wet, clayey soils in
canalisation, pipeline construction, road substructure and construction backfills,
etc., are the ranges of application of this modern trench roller. The infrared control
also permits driving underneath bracings when constructing trenches. During
dangerous construction-site operations, it is possible for the operator to control
the machine from a safe distance and not to expose himself to hazards.
1.1.4 Intended use
The machine is exclusively conceived for the compaction of loose backfill, such
as earth, gravel, or sand, as well as mixtures of these. The machine may not be
used on hard, already compacted or frozen soils.
1.1.5 Workplace
The intended workplace of the machine operator is behind the machine. The
control switches of the control elements only correspond to the direction of
movement of the machine from behind the machine.
1.1.6 Danger areas
There is the risk of crushing in the area of the articulation! Staying in this area
during operation is not permitted. During operation of the vibration function, loose
stones, earth and rubble can be hurdled into air. Persons in this area can be hit
and injured by these flying around objects. A safety distance of at least 2 meters
must be observed around the machine, when the machine is in operation.
1.1.7 Modifications to the machine
For reasons of safety, users are prohibited from making their own modifications
or conversions to the machine. This machine may only be equipped with original
spare parts, which have been constructed for this machine and correspond to the
requirements of the manufacturer. The installation or use of special `equipment
or special parts can impair driving safety.
The manufacturer does not warrant for damages, which result from the use of
non-original parts or optional equipment, each adhesion of the manufacturer is
impossible and all warranty claims become void.
