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
Special operating
modes
Use the Rammax 1575 roller exclusively for driving on and compacting:
● Unbonded layers (earth, gravel, crushed stone).
● Transport of the roller from A to B (crane and low loader).
● Cleaning the roller.
● Maintenance of roller according to maintenance plan or in the event of defects.
● Rectification of machine faults by trained personnel based on error messages.
● Towing the roller.
● Proper disposal by the operator in accordance with national regulations.
2.4.2Requirements for the roller driver
Only trained, suitable and reliable specialists may operate the rollers.
2.4.3Application limits
Tab. 2-4 Limits for application in consideration of environmental conditions
Inappropriate use includes any use not listed under intended use. Note the following
in particular:
● The roller is not a playground.
● The roller must not be used as a traction vehicle.
● The roller is not a passenger transporter.
● In the case of movements greater than 3km, the roller must be loaded on a trans-

the chassis.
● Take care that nothing is jammed in the joint plates when rotating the roller drums.
● Do not put hands between the roller drum and support during operation.
SAFETY INFORMATION
DANGER
Danger to life through tipping or slipping of the roller! The edges of filled areas may give way!
• Only travel directly up or down slopes.
• Do not drive across slopes.
• Keep your distance to embankments and edges!
• Do not drive at an angle into or out of the trench.
• Park the roller on slopes only in such a way that it cannot overturn.
• Use the roller on slopes only in such a way that it cannot overturn.
• The roller drums have very poor adhesion on snow and ice. Driving or working on a slope in snow or ice is prohibited.
• Damp a
upward and downward grades considerably. Adapt the speed
of the machine to the terrain when driving on grades.
• The nature of the ground and weather conditions can negatively affect the climbing ability of the machine.
Never drive on slopes that are steeper than the maximum climbing ability of the machine.
nd loose surfaces reduce the traction of the machine on
Fig. 3-1 Tipping hazard
Construction site conditions can have a negative effect on stability and the tipping
angle.
Crushing hazard in the area of the articulated joint
• During operation, there is always a crushing hazard in the area
of the articulated joint. Therefore, it is not permitted for persons
to be in this area during operation. In general, a safety distance
of at least 2 meters to the machine must be maintained during
operation.
DANGER
Crushing of toes through careless handling of the roller!
• Wear safety shoes when working with the roller in order to help
avoid crushed toes.
DANGER
3.3Noise levels
The following noise level measurements were carried out by an accredited testing
and monitoring body in accordance with machine directive 2000/14/EEC of the
European parliament and council.
Danger of accident through improper operation of the roller!
• Read the operating instructions before operating the roller.
• Adhere to the safety regulations at all costs.
• In case of lack of clarity, contact your authorized dealer.
WARNING
Hearing damage due to continuous noise level!
Depending on the use of equipment it is possible that the allowed noise level of 85dB (A) will be exceeded.
• Wear ear protectors in accordance with national accident prevention regulations when working at higher noise levels.
Inspecting and monitoring organization: TÜV Österreich (Austrian technical inspectorate) Testing body no. 0408
NOTEThe obligation to wear ear protection is standardized nationally. In Switzerland
and Germany, this is as of a measured level of 85dB (A) (sound pressure).
3.4Safety markings on the machine
● Observe and adhere to the rules.
● Keep the safety stickers and signs complete and legible.
● Replace any damaged or illegible stickers and signs immediately.
● You can order new stickers from Ammann Schweiz AG.
From the moment the signs are no longer recognizable and understandable at first
glance, the machine must be shut down until new signs are installed.

BatteryIf the battery charge level control lamp lights up during operation or does not go
off after starting, carry out the following check immediately.
1Stop the engine.
2Check the engine for defective or loose V-belt.
If the battery charging lamp is still lit after carrying out these checks, call a specialist.
Engine oil pressu-reIf the engine oil pressure control lamp lights up during operation or does not go off
after starting, stop the roller and turn off the engine immediately!
1Check the engine for oil loss and correct oil level.
1.1The oil level in the engine is correct: Call a specialist to remedy the pro-
blem.
NOTEThe machine is equipped with an automatic shutdown system. If the oil pres-
sure falls below the limit value, the oil pressure warning lamp lights up. After
the warning lamp has been lit for 4 seconds, the machine is shut down.
Coolant temperature
WARNING
Danger of scalding! The cooling circuit is pressurized.
NOTEDanger of engine overheating. Stop immediately!
If the coolant temperature control lamp lights up during operation of the machine,
switch off the engine immediately and top up coolant!
1Allow the engine to cool down.
2Remove the radiator cap.
3In order to avoid scalding, first unscrew the radiator cap one turn and allow the
pressure to drop.
4As soon as the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the liquid.
5Check the cooling system for leaks and the radiator/expansion vessel for cor-
rect coolant level.
5.1You are unable to find an error: Call a specialist to remedy the problem.
NOTEThe machine is equipped with an automatic shutdown system. If the cooling
water temperature exceeds the limit value, the temperature warning lamp
lights up. After the warning lamp has been lit for 4 seconds, the machine is
shut down.
Pre-heatingThe pre-heating time lasts about 6 s. The pre-heating indicator lamp extinguishes
when the engine is started.
Shutdown bar
The shutdown bar indicator lamp remains lit as long as the shutdown bar is actuated.
1Check whether the shutdown bar has been released.
2Release the shutdown bar.
5.1.3LED error display on the display unit
Error display
Tab. 5-1 Error display (tilt switch)
NOTEFor 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 un
der any circumstances.
• Inform the service workshop.
