GENERAL INFORMATION
The BRADCO Vibratory Roller is a hydraulically powered attachment designed to com-
pact soil, stone or fill material. Performance of the roller varies greatly depending on the op
-
erator and how the attachment is used.
WARNING! Read and understand the Safety Precautions section of this manual before
beginning operation.
Operate the attachment only from the operator’s station. Any other method
could result in serious personal injury or death.
Do not allow bystanders in the area when operating.
Go up and down slopes, not across them. Keep the heavy end of the ma-
chine uphill.
Follow mandatory safety shutdown procedures before cleaning, adjusting,
lubricating or servicing this attachment.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
1.
Position the Vibratory Roller in the desired starting location and lower the attachment to
the ground.
2.
Lower the loader arms and roll the toolbar out until the top of the roller frame is paral
-
lel to the ground and the front tires of the loader are approximately 1-3 inches off the
ground.
3.
Engage the auxiliary hydraulics on the loader and slowly drive forward.
4.
Once you have reached the end of the pass, reverse the skid steer and drive slowly
backwards to further pack the soil and cover any tire tracks.
IMPORTANT: The drive circuit is bi-directional but, for the best results it is recommend-
ed that you reverse the auxiliary hydraulic flow when you reverse direction.
NOTICE:
DO NOT operate the Vibratory Roller on Hi-Flow hydraulic systems (25 GPM
maximum). Damage to the hydraulic motor will occur.
