2. HEALTH & SAFETY
Safety Precautions
Caution: Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient
force to penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for possible
leaks.
Never use your hands to detect pressure leaks.
Hydraulic tank temperature can reach 180
o
F maximum.
Qualified personnel only. No untrained operators. Serious injury may
occur.
Users must be trained to operate this roller. Read the Operator's Manual
and Engine Owner's Manual. Learn to operate this roller safely.
Do not articulate on grades larger than 15
o
, roller may tip over.
Do not operate across the sides of hills, roller may tip over.
Do not operate at the edge of mats or roads, roller may tip over.
Do not stand, be seated when roller is running.
Do not park the roller on hills.
Always turn off engine and apply brake before dismounting.
Hydraulic system produces high pressures--incorrect hose replacement
can cause serious personal injury. When performing service, refer to
Operator's Manual for hose identification and connections.
Never perform any work on the roller while it is running. Before working
on the roller, stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) to
prevent accidental starting, block drums to prevent rolling.
Keep engine cover closed during the operation.
Keep hands, clothing and jewelry away from all moving parts.
Keep all guards in place.
Pressurized release of fluids from hydraulic system can cause serious
burns.
Shut off engine. Only remove filler cap when cool enough to touch
with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure
before removing completely.
