EQUIPMENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! KNOW WHERE UTILITIES ARE
Observe overhead electrical and other utility lines. Be sure equipment will clear
them. When digging, call your local utilities for location of buried utility lines, gas,
water, and sewer, as well as any other hazard you may encounter.
OPERATING THE VIBRATORY ROLLER
Block off work area from bystanders, livestock, etc.
Operate only from the operator’s station.
Do not lift loads in excess of the capacity of the prime mover.
When operating on slopes, drive up and down, not across. Avoid steep hillside
operation, which could cause the prime mover to overturn.
Reduce speed when driving over rough terrain, on a slope, or turning, to avoid
overturning the vehicle.
An operator must not use drugs or alcohol, which can change his or her alert-
ness or coordination. An operator taking prescription or over-the-counter drugs
should seek medical advice on whether or not he or she can safely operate
equipment.
Before exiting the prime mover, lower the attachment to the ground, turn off the
prime mover’s engine, remove the key and apply the brakes.
TRANSPORTING THE VIBRATORY ROLLER
Travel only with the attachment in a safe transport position to prevent uncon-
trolled movement. Drive slowly over rough ground and on slopes.
When driving on public roads use safety lights, reflectors, Slow Moving Vehicle
signs etc., to prevent accidents. Check local government regulations that may
affect you.
Do not drive close to ditches, excavations, etc., cave in could result.
Do not smoke when refueling the prime mover. Allow room in the gas tank for
expansion. Wipe up any spilled fuel. Secure cap tightly when done.
MAINTAINING THE VIBRATORY ROLLER
Before performing maintenance, lower the attachment to the ground, turn off the
engine, remove the key and apply the brakes.
Never perform any work on the attachment unless you are authorized and quali-
fied to do so. Always read the operator service manual’s before any repair is
made. After completing maintenance or repair, check for correct functioning of
the attachment. If not functioning properly, always tag “DO NOT OPERATE” until
all problems are corrected.
Worn, damaged, or illegible safety decals must be replaced. New safety decals
can be ordered from BRADCO.
Never make hydraulic repairs while the system is under pressure. Serious per
-
sonal injury or death could result.
Never work under a raised attachment.
