AR-13H RIDE-ON ROLLER — GENERAL INFORMATION

The AR-13H roller has been designed for asphalt application and compaction of granular soils used in site preparation. Use the machine only for the purpose intended and by experienced personnel who understand this operating manual and all safety decals. Typical applications for this roller are driveways, patch work and road repairs. Standard features included with this roller are articulated steering, double drum hydrostatic drive, front drum vibration, high curb clearance and on board water capability.

POWER PLANT

The AR-13H roller is powered by a Honda GX-610, air cooled, gasoline engine rated at 18 hp @3,500 rpm. The engine features a side-mounted muffler designed to direct engine exhaust away from the operator. In the event of low oil, this engine has a built in

oil alert system

" reaches an unsafe operating level.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

The Honda GX-610 engine drives an axial hydraulics, variable displacement pump which is manually controlled via a cable control system. Pump flow is directed through an aluminum block manifold which provides the control for the 3 hydraulic motors.

The hydraulic drum drive system incorporates a parallel closed loop configuration operating at a maximum pressure of 2,900 psi. In addition this hydraulic system offers a " which allows the roller to be towed in the event of an emergency.

COMPACTION SYSTEM

The compaction force is delivered by a 36-inch wide steel drum with beveled edges to help prevent asphalt enclosed hydrostatic drive system offers a variable speed control as well as smooth acceleration and braking.

Connected to the axial hydraulic pump is a gear pump that provides power for the drum vibratory system and the articulating steering system. Oil from this pump flows to the manifold control valve block and then to a hydraulic motor which rotates the eccentric weights inside a sealed housing containing oil to lubricate the bearings.

A pushbutton switch located on top of the gearshift lever when pressed activates a the vibratory action. The drum's vibratory action generates 3,100 lbs. (1,406 Kg.) of centrifugal force at a frequency of 4,000 vpm (vibrations per minute). If the vibration appears to be weak or slow, allow the machine to warm-up thoroughly, and check the hydraulic oil level. Add hydraulic oil if necessary.

The vibrator housing and drum are shock mounted to isolate the engine compartment and operator from vibration.

The roller nominally has an operating weight of 3,088 lbs (1,400 Kg.), but can be increased to 3,309 lbs (1,500 Kg.) by adding water ballast to the rear drum.

HYDRAULIC OIL FILTER SYSTEM

The hydraulic system oil is filtered by a screen type filter located in the reservoir filler neck, then doubled filtered within the system first by a 40 micron mesh-type suction filter located in the tank and the by a filter.

ARTICULATED STEERING SYSTEM

Power for the articulated steering system, which uses a single hydraulic cylinder is provided by the gear pump. This steering system can produce an inside turning radius of 109 inches (2.77 meters).

SPRINKLER SYSTEM

A 60 gallon (227 liters) water tank with a gravity feed spray bar is provided for wetting the roll for asphaltic pavement rolling.

The water system is fully adjustable from the operator’s position by adjusting the two water valves. The front valve controls the water supply to the front drum, and the rear valve controls water to the rear drum.

Before starting an asphalt rolling job, be sure all spray bar holes

are clear of dirt or foreign matter and are working. Always use clean fresh water in the water tank. To prevent rust and foreign debris from clogging the spray bar holes, drain and flush water tank and spray bars every 30 days.

LIFTING THE ROLLER

When lifting of the roller is required, attach a suitable hook or shackle to the lifting points (4) are marked by a lifting hook decal. Make sure the lifting device is capable of lifting 4,000 lbs. (1,814 Kg).

The forward-reverse control lever operates the hydrostatic pump which governs the roller speed and direction of travel.

OPERATING ON SLOPES

Special care must be taken when operating the roller on hills or slopes. There exist the possibility of serious injury to the operator and severe damage to the roller in the event of a roll over. ALWAYS operate the roller up and down hills rater than from side to side. For safe operation hillside slopes should not exceed 12 degree (27 % grade). See Figure 2 below.

IMMEDIATELY after a unit has tipped over upright the unit as soon as possible to prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber.

CAUTION - Roller Rollover Safety

To prevent damage to the engine after a rollover, the roller must NOT be started. NEVER start a roller after a rollover. CONTACT your nearest authorized multiquip dealer for instructions or servicing.

Hydraulic Oil System

The hydraulic system consists of a two pump stack directly coupled to the engine. A hydraulic valve block (manifold)is provided for quick and easy testing and troubleshooting.

Hydraulic oil is filtered by a screen filter located in the tank filler neck, a

micron return filter

40 micron suction filter

located in the tank, and a

, with cold oil bypass valve located in the

return circuit.

important part of proper hydraulic system operation. Hydraulic oil is not only used to transfer power; it also lubricates and cools the system components. Keeping the hydraulic system clean can help reduce costly repairs.

The hydraulic oil level sight glass is located on the right rear of the front drum, below the engine compartment. This level should be checked daily. Oil must be below the top and above the bottom of the sight glass. DO NOT OVERFILL! Care should be taken to clean the filler cap before adding oil to the system. If hydraulic oil has to be added, the machine should be inspected for leaks.

Changing Hydraulic Oil and Filters
