PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

2.4 Intended use

2.4.1

Intended purpose of the Rammax 1575

The Rammax 1575 trench roller is a roller specially designed for trench compacting.

The unlimited side clearance of the roller drums allows compacting in very narrow, tight trenches right up to the trench walls. The wet, clayey soils found in sewer construction, pipeline construction, road foundations and construction backfilling, etc., are the areas of application for this modern trench roller. The infrared remote control also makes it possible to drive underneath trench shoring in trenches. In hazardous construction site applications, it is possible for the operator to control the machine from a safe distance with no personal risk.

Normal modes of operation

Use the Rammax 1575 roller exclusively for driving on and compacting:

● Unbonded layers (earth, gravel, crushed stone).

Display

Error lights up

Cause

The tilt switch has been triggered.

The roller is at an angle of more than about 45° or has tipped over.

Remedy

Set the machine upright.

For safety reasons, as soon as the roller tips over, the ignition is also shut off.

The machine controller is equipped with an inclination sensor. It triggers as of an angle of 45°. In this case, the engine shuts itself off automatically. The machine cannot be started as long as the inclination sensor remains triggered.

If the machine has tipped over, it is possible for engine oil to enter the combustion area. If the machine is started after it has been righted, engine damage is possible.

• Set the machine upright. Do not start the engine under any circumstances.

• Inform the service workshop.

Tab. 5-2 Error and shutdown bar display

Display

Error lights up

Display

The green and red LEDs are blinking in unison quickly.

Cause

The infrared transmitter is coupled with the machine controller.

NOTE

Special cases

This procedure normally only takes a maximum of about 3seconds. If this blinking lasts longer or should even become permanent, there is a problem with pairing:

• A cable break in one of the signal lines

8.1 Shutdown bar (OPTIONAL)

The shutdown bar is located on the rear of the machine under the operating unit. A proximity switch is located on the rear section of the machine above the attachment point of the shutdown bar. If the machine moves against an obstacle with the shutdown bar, the shutdown bar is actuated and triggers the proximity switch. This sends a signal to the machine controller and the machine can now only be moved forward away from the obstacle. If the vibration function is running, it will be shut down. The vibration function must be restarted manually after the shutdown bar has been deactivated. The shutdown bar must be secured with the transport strap for transportation

(transport position).
