9.1 Daily Storage
• Do not allow the roller to sit overnight in a ditch, trench or other low-lying
area which might fill with water during a heavy rain.
• Park the roller on a flat level surface, out of the way of traffic patterns
and congestion.
• Chock the drums if the roller must be parked on an incline.
• Remove the key, lock the control panel cover and engine hood to pre-
vent tampering.
Note : Both the front and rear hoods, and access cover are equipped with
a locking ring (1) for use with a padlock if leaving the roller on the job
site.

• The SmartControl™ can be removed from the roller and stored sepa-
rately, if needed.
9.2 Long-term Storage
Extended storage of equipment requires preventive maintenance. Perform-
ing these steps helps to preserve machine components and ensures the ma-
chine will be ready for future use. While not all of these steps necessarily ap-
ply to this machine, the basic procedures remain the same.
When
Prepare the machine for extended storage if it will not be operated for
30 days or more.
Preparing for storage
• Complete any needed repairs.
• Replenish or change oils (engine, exciter, hydraulic, and gearcase) per
the intervals specified in the Periodic Maintenance Schedule table. For
further information,
see Maintenance on page 65 .
• Grease all fittings and, if applicable, repack bearings.
• Inspect engine coolant. Replace coolant if it appears cloudy, is more
than two seasons old, or does not meet the average lowest temperature
for your area.
