Laws
pertaining to
spark
arresters
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components, contain
or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
NOTICE: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes specify that in
certain locations spark arresters be used on internal combustion engines that use
hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified
and rated by the United States Forest Service for this purpose. In order to comply
with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult the engine distributor or the local
Health and Safety Administrator.

1.2Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a dual drum, ride-on roller. The Wacker Neuson RideOn Roller consists of an articulated frame onto which is mounted a
gasoline or diesel engine, a fuel tank, a hydraulic tank, a water tank, a
hydrostatic drive system, two steel drums containing internal eccentric
weights, and an operator’s platform with a ROPS (Roll Over Protective
Structure). The engine powers the hydraulic systems that provide
machine movement and drum vibration. The vibrating drums smooth
and compact the work surface as the machine moves. Machine speed,
direction, and vibration are controlled by the operator from the
operator’s seat on the platform.
The machine is designed as a lightweight roller to be used in the
compaction of sublayers and finish layers of asphalt on roads,
driveways, parking lots, and other types of asphalt-covered surfaces.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use
described above. Using the machine for any other purpose could
permanently damage the machine or seriously injure the operator or
other persons in the area. Machine damage caused by misuse is not
covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
•Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
•Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
•Using the machine to tow other machines
•Using the machine to spray liquids other than water (i.e., diesel
fuel on asphalt)
•Operating the machine outside of factory specifications.
•Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings
found on the machine and in the Operator’s Manual.
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the
latest global safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to
eliminate hazards as far as practicable and to increase operator
safety through protective guards and labeling. However, some risks
may remain even after protective measures have been taken. They
are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure
to:
•Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine
•Burns from hot hydraulic fluid
•Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
•Fuel and its fumes
10 wc_si000399gb.fm
RD 16Safety Information
•Personal injury from improper lifting techniques
•Crushing hazards from improper operation (feet, legs, or arms
extending outside of the operator work station) and for other persons in the work zone
•Line of sight blockage by the ROPS
To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and
understand the safety information presented in this manual before
operating the machine.
