NOTICE
Stop the vibratory system completely before
changing the vibratory amplitude selection.
Illustration 34
The vibratory amplitude control is located on the
operator console to the right of the seat. The control is
used to select high amplitude or low amplitude.
LOW - In order to achieve LOW amplitude,
rock the vibratory control forward.
OFF - In order to turn the vibratory system OFF, move
the switch to the center position.
HIGH - In order to achieve HIGH
amplitude, rock the vibratory control
rearward.
Vibratory On/Off Control
SMCS Code: 1408
NOTICE
The bearings in the vibratory reservoir for the
weight shaft are lubricated by rotating the drum
assembly. Turning the vibratory system on with the
machine not propelling may shorten the vibratory
bearing life.
Illustration 35
NOTICE
Do not operate the vibratory system when the
machine is not moving. Damage to the vibratory
weight system bearings can occur due to reduced
lubrication.
The switch on the propel lever controls the operation of
the vibration system.
ON - To turn on the vibration system, press the switch.
OFF - To stop the vibration system, press the switch
again.
NOTE: To start the vibratory system, the engine must
be running at high idle.
NOTE: To start the vibratory system, the vibratory
amplitude control must be set to high
amplitude or low amplitude. The amplitude
must be set before the vibratory system can be
started with the vibratory control.
NOTE: In order to operate the vibratory system, the
propel speed range control must be placed in
the "LOW" range.
