2.6 Precautions for Work
2.6.1 Compaction operation
■
Do not operate the vibrator on 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-R
lever.
2.6.2 When going downhill
■
Use the F-R lever.
• Run slowly by the operation of the F-R lever even if the travel distance is short.
■
Use the engine brake
• Go downhill by applying the engine brake along with the F-R lever operation.
WARNING
When going uphill, run at low speed. Do not attempt to shift speeds during
travelling. The machine can slip down the slope.
2.6.3 On a slope
■
Working on a sidehill
• Work in an uphill/downhill direction, and avoid working on sidehill with the machine
inclining sideways.
