PARKING AND TRANSPORTING
ALWAYS select a level area to park in and, if
possible, one where children are unlikely to be
present. ALWAYS chock the front AND rear of
the roller … even if leaving the machine unattended
for short periods.
ALWAYS use EXTRA care when towing a roller …
when maneuvering in tight places, when backing
(visibility is reduced, and jackknifing must be
avoided), and when operating on grades. NEVER
operate a towed roller on steep grades or side
slopes, as the possibility of tipping or loss of control
is greater when towing a roller.
NEVER allow anyone to ride on a towed roller.
And, unless absolutely necessary, never permit
anyone in the “pinch” area between the towing
vehicle and the towed roller.
When necessary to disconnect and park a towed
roller, ALWAYS select a location which is level
and, if possible, one where children are unlikely
to be present. BEFORE disconnecting, ALWAYS
chock the front AND rear of the roll, and block
under the tongue.
Extreme care should be exercised when loading
or unloading a walk-behind roller. It is generally
best to stand behind and to one side rather than
directly behind a machine being propelled up or
down a ramp.
If the roller is designed to hang from the tailgate
of a vehicle when being transported, ALWAYS be
certain the hook brackets meet the roller
manufacturer’s specifications.
Special precautions must also be exercised when
loading or unloading, transporting or servicing a
towed roller. Consult your manufacturer’s
manual for specific details.

FOR TOWED ROLLERS
Most general safety precautions covered earlier in
this manual are also applicable to towed roller
operation. Many other SPECIAL precautions must,
however, be taken. Study your manufacturer’s
manual(s) relative to special considerations when
towing. If you have questions or concerns, consult
the manufacturer or your dealer.
ALWAYS use a tow tractor of sufficient weight,
drawbar horsepower and braking capacity to
properly control the towed roller. Proper weight
balance and distribution is also essential.
ALWAYS block under the tongue of the towed
roller BEFORE attempting to connect it to the
towing vehicles or machine. NEVER attempt to
lift heavy tongues or move towed rollers by hand.
NEVER get any part of your body under the tongue
when hitching or unhitching.
ALWAYS make sure the hitch pin is of the proper
size, and securely locked in place before towing.
(FIG. 48) If safety chains are provided, make sure
they are properly and securely connected … at
BOTH ends. Cross the chains under the tongue
when connecting to the towing vehicle. If electrical
or hydraulic connections are required, make sure
the connections are properly and securely made.
