Do not turn vibratory system on
while Roller is standing still on a
very solid surface. A loss of steering
can be experienced which could
result in injury to personnel.
NOTE
The vibration on/off switch turns the
vibratory system on by pressing once
or off by pressing again. There is no
way to tell if the vibratory system is
on or off when the engine is not
running and on/off switch (8) is in
high or low position.
8 Ensure that the vibration
control switch (8) is turned off
(center position).
(e) Watch fuel and warning lights
closely. Stop Roller, turn engine
off, and notify Unit Maintenance
when any unusual readings
occur.

Engine Warm-up.
(a) Allow a cold engine to warm up at low idle for at least 15 minutes. Complete warm up requires
approximately 30 minutes in temperatures below 32°F (0°C). In temperatures below 0°F (-18°C),
or if hydraulic functions are sluggish, more time may be required.
(b) Observe warning and indicator lights frequently during warm-up.
(c) If engine begins to miss during warm-up period, shut engine off, wait 2 minutes, and restart.
(d) Cycle all steering and propulsion controls several times to allow warm hydraulic oil to circulate
through all cylinders and lines.
(3)
Shut Down.
(a) Park Roller in sheltered area out of wind. If a sheltered area is not available, park Roller so it
faces into wind to prevent wind from blowing into radiator and causing damage.
(b) Drain fuel/water separator before filling tank to prevent any water in fuel from freezing. This will
also prevent clogging of fuel filter. Dispose of drained fluids in accordance with local regulations.
