Special Safety Instructions For The Operation Of Zi-Bg100Y; Safety Instructions For Machines With Combustion Engine - Zipper Maschinen ZI-BG100Y Betriebsanleitung

 Check that the machine is in perfect condition before each use. Ensure that all guards are
in place and working properly and that all nuts, bolts, etc. are securely tightened. Do not
take the machine into operation if you notice that parts are missing or damaged!
 Ensure sufficient lighting conditions in the working and surrounding areas of the machine.
 Keep hands and feet away from moving machine parts and always ensure a safe stand
when working.
 Ensure that the area to be tamped does not contain any electric cables, gas or water lines
which could be damaged by vibration.
 Remove the adjustment tool from the machine before operation.
 Never leave the running machine unattended (always stop the machine before leaving it).
 Ensure that unauthorised persons maintain a safe distance from the machine and keep
children away from the machine.
 The machine may only be operated, serviced or repaired by persons who are familiar with
it and who have been informed of the dangers arising during this work.
 Always wear suitable personal protective equipment (ear protection, gloves, safety shoes,
close-fitting protective clothing, etc.)!
 Do not work with the machine if you are tired, not concentrated or under the influence of
medication, alcohol or drugs!
 Never operate the unit in the presence of flammable liquids or gases (danger of
explosion!).
 Carry out maintenance, adjustment and cleaning work only when the engine is switched
off.
 Only use spare parts and accessories recommended by Zipper machines.

Special safety instructions for the operation of ZI-BG100Y

 The machine is designed to be operated by one person. Always operate the machine from
behind. Never stand next to or in front of the machine when the engine is running.
 Longer continuous use of the vibratory plate can lead to circulatory disturbances,
especially of the hands, caused by vibration. Therefore, take regular breaks from work!
 Wear suitable protective gloves to reduce the vibration intensity. The hardness of the
surface to be treated, personal predisposition to circulatory disorders and low outside
temperatures considerably reduce the permitted period of use.
 Keep away from edges and trenches and avoid situations where the vibratory plate could
tip over.
 Excessive noise can cause hearing damage and temporary or permanent hearing loss.
Wear hearing protection certified to health and safety regulations to limit noise exposure.
 Do not increase the regulated idle speed of the engine above 3,500 rpm. This could result
in damage to the machine or personal injury.
 Do not touch the engine and/or muffler during operation or immediately after switching
off! These areas become hot during operation and can cause burns.
 Do not touch the spark plug connector when the engine is running (electric shock!).
 Do not operate the unit in closed areas or in poorly ventilated rooms unless there is
adequate ventilation through exhaust fans or hoses. (Risk of suffocation from carbon
monoxide!)
 Do not smoke while the machine is in operation.
 Do not smoke when refuelling the machine.
 Refuel the machine only in a well ventilated area.
 Do not refuel the machine when the engine is running or the machine is still hot.
 Do not refuel the machine near naked flames.
 Do not spill fuel when refuelling.
 Do not crank a gas flooded engine as long as the spark plug is removed- fuel in the
cylinder sprays out of the spark plug opening.
