Using the Vibration System
Background
The machine has an exciter on front drum. The exciter is driven by gear-type hydraulic motors. The
exciter motor is fed by a fixed-displacement, gear-type hydraulic pump.
Starting and stopping vibration
To start vibration, press button (a).
When vibration is active, the vibration ON indicator on control panel will illuminate.
Vibration can be activated while operating in either or forward or reverse, and will remain
active until button (a) is pressed again.
To stop vibration, press button (a) again.
Using vibration
Vibration remains active even when the forward / reverse control is in NEUTRAL.
To keep the surface finish smooth when operating on asphalt, stop vibration before
stopping the engine.
If vibration is not stopped before the engine is stopped, vibration will resume
immediately when the engine is started. Therefore, be ready to stop vibration as soon
as the engine cranks.
