General infOrMatiOn
The forward-reverse control lever operates the hydrostatic
pump which governs the roller speed and direction of
travel. The speed in which movement of this lever is made
is directly related to the amount of pressure that is applied
to the travel lever in each direction. Travel speed is infinitely
variable from 0 to 4.8 mph. The neutral position of this lever
will cause the roller to stop.
OpeRaTing On sLOpes
Special care must be taken when operating the roller on hills
or slopes. There exist the possibility of serious injury to the
operator and severe damage to the roller in the event of a
roll over. ALWAYS operate the roller up and down hills rater
than from side to side. For safe operation hillside slopes
should not exceed 12 degree (27 % grade). See Figure 2.
Figure 2. Recommended Slope
DangeR
DO NOT allow personnel to stand under or near any
suspended machine. Before operating the roller, make
sure that personnel and obstacles are free from the
roller’s path. Serious injury or death may result.
CauTiOn
ONLY use approved certified lifting devices capable of
lifting at least 4,000 lbs. (1,814 Kg.).
CauTiOn
When lifting of the roller is required, only use the
provided lifting eyes to lift the roller. Using other sections
of the roller for lifting purposes may cause severe
damage to the roller.

Tipping (ROLLOveRs)
Figure 3. Tipping (Rollover)
In the event the roller does tip over, if at all possible, try to
shut down the engine by turning the ignition key to the OFF
position. Extreme care must be taken to prevent damage
to the engine. When the roller has been tipped over, oil
from the engine crankcase can flow into the combustion
chamber, which can severely damage the engine the next
time it is started.
IMMEDIATELY after a unit has tipped over, upright the unit
as soon as possible to prevent oil from leaking into the
combustion chamber.
CauTiOn
neveR operate the roller on side slopes (Figure 3). The
possibility exists that the roller could tip over (roll over), thus
causing bodily harm, even death, and serious damage to
the equipment.
