Operation RD12A/12K
Continued from the previous page.
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
.
3. Move the forward/reverse lever into FORWARD. The forward/reverse lever
controls both the direction and speed of the machine. 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 button on the forward/reverse lever to activate the water
spray system.
6. Rotate the water spray dial to select the water flow frequency desired.
