Operating the
machine
Follow the guidelines below to use your Trench Roller to its fullest capacity.
■ When standing behind the machine (k) , pushing forward on the forward/reverse
joystick causes the machine to move away from the operator, pushing left on the
steering joystick results in the machine turning left, etc.
■ As the operator changes positions in the work area, it is important that he or she
understands the changes that will occur in the control of the machine. If the
operator stands in front of the machine
(m) , it will respond in a direction opposite
in relation to the operator. That is, pushing forward causes the machine to move
toward the operator; pushing left results in the machine turning to the operator's
right. Operating the machine while standing in front of it is not recommended.
■ Operate the machine with the transmitter pointed at the receiving eyes on the
machine for continued operation. The light ring amber LEDs will blink to show
that the machine is receiving signals from the transmitter.
■ The infrared system is equipped with an operator distance sensing system. If
the operator is standing within 1–2 m (3–6 ft.) of the front or rear of the machine,
the amber light ring will flash rapidly, and the machine will not travel forward/
reverse or vibrate until the operator moves outside the 1–2 m (3–6 ft.) distance.
Once the operator is at the correct distance, the amber lights will flash slowly to
indicate the machine can be operated.
Note: The control cable is not needed for using the infrared system.
