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 soil compactor should only be used if it is in a 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 VPR 450 soil compactor is designed exclusively for compacting
– paving slabs.
Any other use of the soil compactor 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
Soil compactors are only permitted to be operated by suitable persons of or above the age of 18.
Personnel must be instructed in how to guide the compactor by the owner or by the owner's assigned
personnel.
The machine operator must comply with trac regulations. If instructions that aect 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 soil compactor during the

Operation
Prior to starting work the owner of the compactor must be familiar with the work environment.
The work environment includes obstacles in the work and trac area, the bearing capacity of
the ground, as well as the necessary safeguarding of the construction site in the area adjacent to
public trac; and it includes compliance with trac regulations.
The soil compactor 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 compactor must be checked for apparent defects. If there are apparent
defects then operation of the compactor must be stopped immediately, and the responsible person
must be informed. Prior to restarting, compactor malfunctions that have occurred must be corrected.
Always maintain adequate clearance to the edges of pits and embankments.
Do not drive at ninety degrees to slopes to prevent the compactor from tipping over.
After work has been concluded secure the compactor in accordance with statutory regulations,
particularly in the area of public trac surfaces.
Operation under dicult conditions
Never inhale the exhaust gas; it contains carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas that
is extremely hazardous, which, if inhaled even briey, can cause unconsciousness and death.
Therefore, never operate the engines in enclosed areas or in areas that are poorly ventilated
(tunnels, caves, covered pits, etc.).
Exercise particular caution when operating the engine in the vicinity of people and livestock.

Maintenance and repair work
Only use original Weber spare parts to ensure reliable and safe operation for maintenance or
repair work.
Hydraulic hose lines must be checked at regular intervals in accordance with standard engineering
practice, or they must be replaced at appropriate intervals, even if no signs of safety-relevant
defects are present.
Adjusting tasks, maintenance tasks, and inspection tasks must be carried out on schedule as
specied in this operating and maintenance manual. These activities should only be executed
by instructed personnel.
For repair, service, or inspection work the engine of the compactor 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 compactor must be parked on a level and stable substrate
and must be secured from rolling o 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.
If lubricating oils and fuel come into contact with skin, they can cause skin cancer. Upon contact
with the skin, clean aected skin with suitable cleaning agent without delay.

Inspection
Compactors must be inspected in accordance with the corresponding 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 compactor with a high-pressure cleaner, protect all accessible energized
switches, cable connections, etc. against water penetration by masking them o.
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-specic regulations.
