loose bolts, lifting hooks, and shock mounts.
3. Check any damaged or loose bolts in the guard frame to
avoid machine sliding off.

6. Always lift the machine vertically and keep the
machine away from workers and animals.
7. Do not lift the machine higher than the required
height.

STOPPING
1. Place the vibrator and travel levers to the neutral position.
2. Slow down the engine and allow to cool for at least 2
minutes. In an electric start, return the key switch to
the STOP position as soon as the engine stops.
3. After the engine stops, close the fuel cock.
4. The hydraulic brake is automatically engaged when the
travel lever is in neutral position. When parked on a slope
with the engine turned off, place a block against the
roller drum to prevent the roller from moving.
CAUTION :
Neglecting to return the key switch to the
STOP position will cause the battery to
discharge, making start-up impossible the
next time.
UNLOADING
1. If you need to move the roller by pushing it manually
once engine is stopped, push in the upper and lower
knobs of the transmission check valve. This will
cause the hydraulic break to disengage and allow
the roller to be moved without causing damage
(Figure 25).
2. After moving, reset upper and lower knobs.
NEVER tow roller with any type of vehicle.
Doing so will damage the hydraulic
system.
NEVER perform unloading procedure on
a slope. This may cause roller to roll down
if parking brake or blocking is deficient.
CAUTION :
