gers are not allowed on the roller. Remain seated during all operation.
4. Never use the roller if it is in need of adjustment or repairs.
5. Board and leave the roller only when it is stationary. Use the grips and
railings that are provided. Always use a ”three-point grip” - both feet and
one hand or one foot and both hands - when boarding or exiting the ma-
chine.

thirds of the drum width is firmly on material that has already been com-
pacted.
10. Make sure that there are no obstacles in the direction of travel, on the
ground or overhead.
11. Drive extra carefully on uneven ground.
12. Use the safety equipment provided. The seat belt must be worn on ma-
chines fitted with ROPS.
13. Keep the roller clean. Clean dirt and grease from the operator’s platform
without delay. Keep all signs and decals clean and clearly legible.
14. Safety measures before refueling:
– Stop the engine.
– Do not smoke.
– No naked flame in the vicinity.

sparks.

– Place chocks against the drums/wheels and against the strike-off blade.

ating on.

ing temperature. Braking distance can be longer than usual if the fluid is
cold. See starting instructions in the OPERATION MANUAL.
