OPERATION
4. Push down the decompression lever (Figure 16).
Figure 16. Decompression lever
5. Pull the starting handle hard and fast to start engine
(Figure 15).
6. If the engine does not start, repeat steps 3 through 5.
TRAVELING
1. Before starting to travel, make sure to release parking
brake located on the left side of the rear roller. If the
parking brake lever is tight, moving the roller back and
forth will make it easier (Figure 17).

2. With the throttle lever in the RUN position, increase
the engine rotation.
3. Push the travel lever forward slightly. This will cause
the roller to travel forward at slow speed.
4. To increase the travel speed, push the travel lever
further.
5. Travel speed can be varied between 0 and 3 km/h
(both forward and reverse).
NOTICE
When starting with a motor starter, a decompressor
is not normally required. However, when ambient
temperature or battery charger level is low, use of a
decompressor will help make the start-up easier.

(RELEASED
POSITION)
6. Push the travel lever backward to go in the reverse
direction.
VIBRATING
1. Shift the vibration lever away from its off position. The
vibration lever will automatically spring forward and the
roller will start vibrating (Figure 18).

CAUTION
Do not reduce speed during work. When shifting travel
lever from forward to reverse, be sure to stop the lever at
the neutral position fi rst before moving the lever to the
opposite direction. Do not shift the lever from forward to
reverse (or reverse to forward) in one motion.
CAUTION
After test travel, shut down engine and check for any
problems including oil leakage. If any trouble is found,
correct the problem before attempting to operate the
roller again.
VIBRATION LEVER
(OFF POSITION)
CAUTION
Using vibration with clutch slipping causes the clutch to
burn. Also, vibration should not be used over completely
compacted area, paved road surface, or with stationary
roller.
