RD12A/12K Operation

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 (rabbit) 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 may damage hydraulic components

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 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.

This procedure continues on the next page.
