3. OPERATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE
This roller is ergonomically engineered to optimize operator interface with the total machine its really user
friendly. Besides good visibility to the roll-edge, as well as the work surface, youll 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.
Theres 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.

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

WARNING
NEVER PUSH OR PULL THE ROLLER WITH THE
ENGINE OFF. WHEN ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING,
THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. WHEN THE ENGINE
IS RUNNING AND THE FORWARD/REVERSE
LEVER IS IN NEUTRAL, THE BRAKE WILL
APPLY WITHIN 2 SECONDS.
In an emergency or during a breakdown, it may be
necessary or desirable to tow the roller. This may be
accomplished by mechanically releasing the brake and
bypassing the transmission pump. If these procedures
are followed carefully, the roller may be moved short
distances at LOW speed without running the engine.
The brake is located in the front wheel motor, which
drives the drum of the roller. There is an access hole in
the front frame to assist in releasing the brake. Refer to
the Drum Assembly #39 22770 Kit Bypass to identify
these parts. The threaded hole in the center of the
wheel motor requires a M12 bolt long enough to extend
beyond the frame when fully engaged. A bolt, washer,
and nut is included in a separate package for this

purpose. Fully install the nut and washer on the bolt.
Insert this assembly through the hole in the frame such
that the washer is over the hole with the nut against the
outside of this washer. Thread the bolt, finger tight
into the wheel motor to the bottom of the hole. Now
tighten the nut against the washer until the brake is
compressed and released. This should require about 44
ft. lbs. torque. Do not torque the bolt. Be careful not
to over-torque beyond releasing the brake.
The bypass valve is located on the transmission pump.
The seat and battery plate should be removed for
access to the transmission pump. The bypass valve is
controlled by a shaft with cross-drilled holes and
maybe a slot in the end. This shaft may be turned
manually to open the valve and allow the motor to turn.
The valve is fully open with two revolutions of the
shaft. DO NOT OPEN VALVE PAST TWO TURNS.
The valve must be fully closed for normal operation.
The torque required to close the valve is only 7 to 10 ft.
lbs.
DAMAGE MAY RESULT FROM OVERTORQUING.
3.33 STORAGE
IMPORTANT: The front wheel motor has a rubber
plug in the M12 hole to prevent contamination.
Reinstall the rubber plug after towing
1. Store the roller on level ground with drums
blocked and parking brake on.
2. Remove the key. Operations of roller by
untrained persons could result in personal injury.
3. During extended storage, drums can be coated with
any type of oil or grease to prevent rusting.
4. Storage instructions for the engine are stated in the
Engine Manual and should be carried out.
