Use and Care Manual

Operating the machine

Perform the procedure below to operate the roller

1. Before moving the machine, release the parking brake by lowering the brake lever.

2. Set the engine throttle to the high position. This ensures maximum travel speeds and

will produce the best compaction results

NOTICE: Operating the machine at slower engine speeds will reduce

compaction, slow down machine functions, and damage hydraulic

components.

WARNING

High noise levels. Prolonged exposure can damage your hearing.

 Wear appropriate hearing protection while operating this machine.

3. Move the forward/reverse lever into FORWARD. The forward/reverse lever controls

both the direction and speed of the roller. The farther forward the control is moved the

faster the machine will travel.

Note: Use the control lever, rather than the throttle, to control the speed of the machine

while compacting.

4. Press the vibration button on the forward/reverse lever to start vibration.

5. Press the water spray switch to activate the water spray system.

6. Rotate the water spray dial to select the water flow frequency desired.

Stopping the machine

1. Maneuver the machine to a flat surface with a suitable load bearing capacity.

2. Turn the vibration off.

3. Set the water spray switch (e) to the OFF position.

4. Set the forward/reverse control (a) to the NEUTRAL position.

5. Set the engine throttle switch (c) to the low position and allow the engine to cool down.

6. Set the parking brake. To set the parking brake, pull the brake lever up until the brake

pad engages the drum. To release the brake, lower the brake lever. Always set the parking

brake before leaving the machine.

Note: The parking brake engages the rear drum only.

WARNING

The vehicle constitutes a hazard or obstacle to traffic when parked.

 Mark the vehicle with signs, lights, and other warnings.

7. Turn the start key to the OFF position.
