2.9 Precautions for Work
2.9.1 Compaction operation
■
Do not operate the vibrator on a hard location
• Do not work the vibrator on a hard surface such as concrete pavement, as this can cause
the machine to jump and give abnormal shock load. Damage to shock isolators will result.
■
Change the direction of travel gently
• When changing the direction of travel during asphalt mix compaction, slowly shift the
F-N-R lever.
■
Drive at a speed appropriate for the road surface conditions
• Drive slowly on uneven surfaces.
2.9.2 When going downhill
■
Use the F-N-R lever
• Run slowly going downhill. Do not use excessive speed. Avoid changing speed if possible
when going downhill. Start slowly and end slowly on steep downgrades.
■
Use the engine brake
• Go downhill by applying the engine brake along with the F-N-R lever operation.
2.9.3 On a slope
■
Working on a sidehill
• Work in an uphill / downhill direction, and avoid working on sidehill with the machine
inclining sideways.
