Description :
Many years of experience, continuous further development and the latest technological innovations in the
construction of vibratory trench rollers have culminated in one of the highest-performance machines of the P54
series. All the models of the P54 series are characterized by a high degree of operating convenience, a hardwearing compact design and outstanding reliability in operation. The RAMMAX P54 is a self-propelling, centrepivot steered vibratory roller which can be optionally equipped with a sheeps foot facing or a pusher blade.
The P54 can also be equipped with a tilt device which permits an even subsoil to be created with the pusher
blade even on inclined surfaces.
For all machine models of the P54 series, operation of the pusher blade is performed using a single-hand
lever. Travel drive, vibration, steering and braking operations are hydraulically powered. The facing and
wheels are independently driven and infinitely variable using two control pumps. Travel drive is actuated by
two pedals.
This drive system permits an outstanding climbing ability (depending on soil conditions 45%)

8.1 General remarks on maintenance and maintenance work :
Steps must be taken to ensure that all safety regulations are adhered to in the execution of maintenance
work!
Careful machine maintenance guarantees far greater functional reliability and increases the life of all important
components. The necessary input is minimal in relation to the faults and problems which can occur as a result of
failure to perform maintenance work.
• The engine and machine must be thoroughly cleaned before performing any maintenance work.
• Maintenance work may only be performed when the engine is at a standstill.
• When working with the hydraulic system, this must first be depressurized.
• Before working on the electrical system, detach the battery, cover it and protect with insulating material.
• Check the electrical equipment of the machine at regular intervals. Defects such as loose connections or
melted cables must be remedied immediately and replaced by new ones.
• Only carry out maintenance and repair work when the machine is positioned on an even surface capable of
bearing loads and safeguarded against rolling away.
• Adhere to the prescribed maintenance and inspection procedures in the operating instructions, including
instructions in the exchange of parts. This work may only be performed by specialized personnel.
• Oil and fuels must not be permitted to seep into the ground or sewage system during maintenance work.
These must be collected using suitable means and disposed of in an environmentally responsible
manner.
Remarks on the hydraulic system:
Avoid dirt or other contaminants entering the hydraulic system. Even the smallest dirt particles in the hydraulic
pipework can lead to tremendous impairment to hydraulic units and so to costly repairs.
• Should it be discovered during the daily check of the hydraulic oil level that the oil level is sinking,
the complete hydraulic pipework must be checked immediately for leaks.
• Leaks must be repaired immediately. If necessary, inform the responsible after-sales service.
• If possible fill the hydraulic system with filling aggregate.
• Clean screw joints, the filling cap and its surroundings before removal to prevent the ingress of
dirt particles.
• Do not leave the tank cap open unnecessarily to prevent foreign bodies entering the system.
8.2 Running in regulations :
Maintenance after 25 hours of operation:
• Check all screw connections and tighten if necessary.
• Check hydraulic hoses and the complete hydraulic oil system for leaks.
• Exchange the fuel filter. (Fig. 18, Section 10.7))
• Engine : See maintenance instructions Kubota D-1703!
Set the machine on an even, load-bearing surface in such a way that it is horizontal
• Check the oil level in the oil viewing window "ÖSA" :
The oil must come up at least to the
middle of the viewing window ! (Fig. 27)
• If necessary, top up with hydraulic oil.
ÖSA
Recommended oil types : Mobil HPL 46,

Do not allow acid to come into contact
with clothes or skin !
Wear protective goggles
Do not lay any tools on the battery !
The batteries “B” are located on the left and right sides of the oil tank (fig. 31). It is very important to keep
clean the battery and to carry out maintenance correctly in order to have a perfect function of this battery. If
the machine is out of action for a longer period of time the battery has to be pinched off in order to prevent a
deep discharge. Especially the terminals and clamps must be cleaned regularly and afterwards be greased
thickly with an acidproof grease.
• Release the sealing cap " D " from the air filter housing and
remove air filter cartridge "LP".
• After inserting the cleaned or new filter cartridge, mount the
sealing cap "D". (Fig. 34)
Note:
Never use petrol or hot fluid to clean the filter cartridge !!!
After cleaning, the filter cartridge must be examined using a lamp for damage.
Filter cartridges which are damaged at the seal or at the cartridge itself must be exchanged without
fail.
The filter cartridge of the air filter must be exchanged after being cleaned three times or after a year
at the latest.
If the filter cartridge is contaminated with sooty deposits, cleaning is not possible. Use a new
cartridge.
Each completed cleaning process of the filter cartridge must be documented on the lid of the
cartridge.
Insufficient cleaning and handling of the filter cartridge can lead to serious damage to the engine!!!
