ROLLER OPERATIONS
SAFETY
Read this manual completely before operating roller. Make sure you understand and follow these instructions
thoroughly.
Carefully inspect your equipment for visual defects: leaks in fuel, lubrication and hydraulic systems, and broken
or missing parts.
DO NOT START OR OPERATE A DEFECTIVE MACHINE.
Have it repaired and then okayed by your
supervisor before using it.
Always enter operator's platform from the right-hand side of tractor utilizing ladder and safety grab rails.
Be sure to clean any oil, grease, or mud accumulation from floor of operators platform, stepping points, and
grab rails to minimize the danger of slipping.
Do not climb off the machine with engine running. After applying parking brake, pull out fuel cutoff stop and
turn off key.
Never leave the roller unattended with the engine running as unauthorized personnel may accidentally engage
controls and move machine resulting in possible serious injury.
Never stand up or climb on or off machine while in motion.
DO NOT STAND BETWEEN TRACTOR AND ROLL FRAME with engine running or when steering roller. This
is an articulated machine and there is danger of being crushed between the two units.
Always stop machine, turn off engine, and set parking brake to lubricate or make minor adjustments.
PREPARING THE ROLLER FOR OPERATION
All rollers are completely serviced and properly lubricated before leaving the factory, but always check all liquid
levels to ensure against damage or inadvertent leaks during shipment.
Check ignition wiring connections, battery connections, and battery water level.
Fill fuel tank with a good grade of clean diesel fuel.
Check all fuel lines for leaks.
Check hydraulic reservoir for proper oil level on sight gage.
The roller is now ready to operate. The engine is factory tested.
