2. HEALTH & SAFETY

USE COMMON SENSE WHEN HANDLING FUELS

 Transport and handle fuel only when contained in approved safety

container.

 Do not smoke when refueling or during any other fuel handling

operation.  Do not refuel while the engine is running or while it is still hot.  If fuel is spilled during refueling, wipe it off from the engine

immediately and discard the rag in a safe place.  Do not operate the equipment if fuel or oil leaks exist - repair

immediately.  Never operate this equipment in an explosive atmosphere.

 Operator must always be seated with seat belt on when

roller is running.  Never allow more than one person on roller.  Always turn engine off before dismounting from roller.  Always apply parking brake when not in use.  Never park roller on a hill.  Never operate roller on slope greater than 15 degrees.  Do not operate the roller in standing water.

Safety Precautions

 Ear protection required when operating this equipment.  Exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of

hearing.

HOT SURFACES

 Muffler, engine, and engine shroud may be hot.

 Allow all components in the engine compartment to cool before

performing any service work.

 Never operate unit in a poorly ventilated or enclosed area.  Avoid prolonged breathing of exhaust gases.  Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness or death.

Page 17

2. HEALTH & SAFETY

 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 15o, 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, with seat belt on, when roller is running.  Do not park the roller on hills.  Always turn off engine and apply brake before dismounting.

 Caution: Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient

force to penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury.  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.  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

Safety Precautions

F maximum.

SERVICE COOLING AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS SAFELY

 Pressurized release of fluids from hydraulic or coolant systems 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.

 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.

3. OPERATION

3.1 INTRODUCTION AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE

This roller is ergonomically engineered to optimize operator interface with the total machine  its really user friendly. Besides good visibility to the roll-edge, as well as the work surface, youll find that the controls are exactly in the right places for maximum comfort. And it is very convenient to monitor all the consumables  fuel, hydraulic oil, etc.

Our common sense approach to servicing is a valuable benefit. Thanks to our modular design, everything that needs servicing is located behind one of the easy-access service panels or is under the rear cowl.

For maneuverability and productivity, nothing beats the proven performance of center-point articulation. Because the drum and tires track each other exactly, tight turns are achieved smoothly. The roller is equipped with full positive traction, front to rear and side to side, which keeps the roller moving through various conditions.

Theres power steering  a feature no operator wants to be without. A variable hydrostatic drive system provides infinitely variable speed control  from 0 to 4 mph. The eccentric delivers a centrifugal force sufficient to compact all types of soil. Superior vibration isolation to the operator is achieved by mounting heavy-duty shock mounts between the eccentric and support frames.

The following instructions were compiled to provide you information on how to obtain long and trouble-free use of the roller. Periodic maintenance of the roller is essential. Read this manual in its entirety and follow the instructions carefully. Failure to do so may cause injury to you or a bystander.

3. OPERATION

3.2 DIESEL FUEL

Do not mix oil with fuel. The engine has a separate oil reservoir in the crankcase. Diesel fuel blend meeting ASTM D915 or EN590 and a premium diesel fuel conditioner is recommended.

WARNING

FUEL IS BOTH TOXIC AND FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE WORKING WITH FUEL. DO NOT USE NEAR OPEN FLAME. ALWAYS STOP ENGINE BEFORE REFUELING. CLEAN UP SPILLED FUEL BEFORE STARTING. AVOID FIRES BY KEEPING ENGINE CLEAN OF ACCUMULATED GREASE AND DEBRIS.

START, STORE, AND REFUEL ON LEVEL GROUND TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY. DO NOT RUN UNIT IN AN ENCLOSED, NONVENTILATED AREA. AVOID PROLONGED BREATHING OF VAPORS AND SKIN CONTACT. SERIOUS ILLNESS OR LOSS OF LIFE COULD RESULT.

KEEP THE VENT HOLE IN FUEL TANK CAP OPEN. IF VENT HOLE IS PLUGGED, PRESSURE MAY BUILD UP IN TANK, CAUSING DANGEROUS SPRAYING OF FUEL WHEN TANK CAP IS REMOVED. A VACUUM MAY ALSO BE CREATED DURING OPERATION, WHICH COULD STOP FUEL FLOW. DIESEL FUEL IS MANDATORY FOR USE IN THIS ENGINE. ALWAYS USE CLEAN FUEL. LOW QUALITY OR CONTAMINATED FUEL WILL DAMAGE FUEL INJECTION COMPONENTS.

DIESEL FUEL STORED IN GALVANIZED CONTAINERS REACTS CHEMICALLY WITH THE ZINC COATING ON THE CONTAINER. THE CHEMICAL REACTION CREATES POWDERY FLAKES OF ZINC SULFIDE. IF WATER IS PRESENT IN THE FUEL, A ZINC HYDROXIDE GEL WILL FORM.

3.3 ENGINE BREAK-IN

IMPORTANT  Read Engine Manual for break-in requirements. 1st 100 hours John Deere break-in oil only (TY 22041). Do not add oil until level is in the add area on the dipstick. Do not fill above the crosshatched area on the dipstick. 1st 100 hours run engine at full throttle. Operate engine at heavy loads, do not idle longer than 5 minutes. Check oil frequently, do not exceed 100 hours with break-in oil.

3.4 ENGINE OIL AND FILTER

Change oil and filter at 100 hours, then every 250 hours. Use SAE 15W-40 API CG-4 or API CF-4. Refer to Engine Manual for additional oil types and recommendations. Do not mix different brands or types of oil. Mixing oils can degrade lubrication performance.

WARNING

DO NOT USE STARTING FLUID (ETHER). ENGINE IS EQUIPPED WITH INTAKE HEATER. AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE MAY RESULT. REFER TO COLD WEATHER STARTING INSTRUCTIONS.

IMPORTANT: Avoid excessive engine idling. Prolonged idling may cause the engine coolant temperature to fall below its normal range. This, in turn, causes crankcase oil dilution, due to incomplete fuel combustion, and permits formation of gummy deposits on valve, pistons, and piston rings. It also promotes rapid accumulation of engine sludge and unburned fuel in the exhaust system.

3.14 WARMING ENGINE

IMPORTANT: To assure proper lubrication, operate engine at idle with no load for 5 minutes. Extend this period when operating at temperatures below freezing.

1. Check oil pressure gauge as soon as engine starts. If gauge needle does not rise above minimum oil pressure specification of (1.05 bar) (15.0 psi) within 5 seconds, stop the engine and determine the cause. Normal engine oil pressure is (3.45 bar + 1.03 bar) (50 + 15 psi) at rated full load speed (1800  2500 rpm) with oil at normal operating temperature of 105° C (221° F).

2. Watch coolant temperature gauge. Do not place engine under full load until it is properly

Page 36

4. MAINTENANCE

WARNING

To check coolant level, refer to Operating section of this manual and Engine Manual.

Inspect cooling system every 600 hours or 12 months.

1. Check entire cooling system hoses. Replace hoses when hard, flimsy, or cracked.

2. Thoroughly inspect all cooling system hoses. Replace hoses when hard, flimsy, or cracked.

IMPORTANT: Air must be expelled from cooling system when system is refilled. Loosen temperature-sending unit fitting at rear of cylinder head to allow air to escape when filling system. Retighten fitting when all the air has been expelled.

3. Test the coolant solution at 600 hours or 12 month intervals and whenever excessive coolant is lost through leaks or overheating to ensure the necessary protection. Coolant test strips are available from your John Deere dealer. These test strips provide a simple, effective method to check the freeze point and additive levels of your engine coolant.

4. After 600 hours or 12 months of engine operating time, recharge your engine coolant with the recommended amount (see label on container) of TY16004 or TY16005 Liquid Coolant Conditioner.

ALWAYS maintain coolant at correct level and concentration. DO NOT operate engine without coolant for even a few minutes.

If frequent coolant makeup is required, the glycol concentration should be checked with JT05460 Refractometer to assure that the desired freeze point is maintained. Follow manufacturers instructions provided with Refractometer.

Water may be used as coolant in emergency situations

only.

Foaming, hot surface aluminum and iron corrosion, scaling, and cavitation will occur when water is used as the coolant, even when coolant conditioners are added.

Drain cooling system and refill with recommended glycol base engine coolant as soon as possible.

4.8.1 Replacing Engine Coolant

Every 1200 hours or 24 months, the coolant should be replaced. The coolant system should also be flushed and pressure tested. Refer to Engine Manual.

4.8.2 Adding Coolant

NOTE: TY16004 or TY16005 Liquid Coolant

Conditioner is a non-chromate inhibitor and should be used only with low silicate, ethylene-glycol base antifreeze. It does not protect the cooling system from freezing. See "Adding Coolant."

Usually recharging your engine coolant with the recommended amount of TY16004 or TY16005 Liquid Coolant Conditioner at 600 hours or 12 months of operation is adequate. However, with a CoolScan analysis report you will be given a more thorough evaluation of your engine coolant condition along with detailed service recommendations. Refer to Engine Manual.

IMPORTANT: Do not add supplemental coolant additives when the cooling system is drained and refilled with John Deere ANTIFREEZE/SUMMER COOLANT or John Deere COOL GARD.

CAUTION: Explosive release of fluids from

pressurized cooling 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.

IMPORTANT: Never pour cold liquid into a hot engine, as it may crack cylinder head or block. DO NOT operate engine without coolant for even a few minutes.

Air must be expelled from cooling system when coolant is added.

1. Loosen temperature sending unit fitting at rear of cylinder head to allow air to escape when filling system.

- 36 -

Fuel injection nozzles are usually removed and tested or replaced when there is a noticeable loss of power or excessive smoking after break-in period.

For detailed testing and diagnostic information on fuel system refer to John Deere Technical Manual (P/N

55321).

4.19.1 Test Fuel Injection Nozzles (engine running)

1. Operate engine at intermediate speed and no load.

2. Slowly loosen the fuel pressure line at one of the nozzles until fuel escapes at the connection (fuel not opening nozzle valve).

NOTE: The injection nozzle before and/or after

nozzle being checked could be the faulty nozzle.

 If engine speed changes, the injection

nozzle is probably working satisfactory.

 If engine speed does not change, a nozzle

is faulty and must be checked and repaired (or replaced).

3. Repeat test for each remaining nozzle assembly.

4. Remove faulty injection nozzles and see authorized engine dealer or replace with new.

Fill fuel tank at the end of each days operation to prevent condensation in tank as moist air cools and freezing during cold weather.

Avoid storing fuel over long periods of time. If fuel is stored for more than a month prior to use or there is a slow turnover in fuel tank or supply tank, add a fuel conditioner such as John Deere PREMIUM DIESEL FUEL CONDITIONER or equivalent to stabilize the fuel and prevent water condensation. John Deere PREMIUM DIESEL FUEL CONDITIONER is available in winter and summer formulas. Fuel conditioner also reduces fuel gelling and controls wax separation during cold weather.

Proper fuel storage is critically important. Use clean storage and transfer tanks. Periodically drain water and sediment from bottom of tank. Store fuel in a convenient place away from buildings.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT store diesel fuel in galvanized containers. Diesel fuel stored in galvanized containers reacts with zinc coating on container to form zinc flakes. If fuel contains water, a zinc gel will also form. The gel and flakes will quickly plug fuel filters and damage injection nozzles and injection pump.

DO NOT use brass-coated containers for fuel storage. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.

4.32 ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES (ROPS)

Proper inspection and maintenance procedures can ensure that ROPS will perform the lifesaving function they are designed for and expected to do. Make regular, periodic inspections to ensure ROPS are damage-free and thus capable of functioning in an upset.

Generally ROPS/FOPS structures are not intended as external load carrying members and must not be used to mount attachments such as pull hooks, winches, side brooms, etc. without the manufacturers approval.

4.32.1 Maintenance of ROPS/Seat Belts

Inspection

Scheduled, frequent visual checks of mounting hardware by operator or service personnel are recommended. Inspection with regular service intervals is suggested. The inspection should check for:

 Worn, damaged or missing resilient mounts.

Excessive motion or rattling during operation are indications of a problem.

 Loose, missing or damaged mounting

hardware (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.). Bolts should be checked for proper torque.

 Cracks in ROPS/FOPS structure and mounting

system. The machine should be cleaned, as necessary, to allow inspection for cracks in the structure and mounting system. Rust lines should be taken as indications of cracks and verified by inspection. Some cracks will badly affect the ROPS/FOPS function. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer.

 Water drainage paths. Clear water drainage

paths so that entrapped water will not freeze and crack or deform the structure.

 Corrosion. Extensive paint peeling and rust

should be noted and corrective action taken.

 Seat belt. The presence and operability of a

seat belt should be noted. The belt should be clean, free of dirt and grease and the latch should function smoothly.

 The structure should be inspected following a

rollover, collision or fire.

Repair

Replace missing or damaged hardware with the manufacturers specified hardware. Re-torque all loose threaded fasteners to the manufacturers specifications.
