AR13HA-R RIDE-ON ROLLER — OPERATION

OPERATION

Parking Brake

1.To release the parking brake, press and hold the release button (Figure 21) pull up slightlyon the parking lever, then push the parking brake lever all the way down.

Figure 21. Brake Release Lever

Shift Lever

1.To make the roller move in a forward direction, move the shift lever forward as shown in Figure 22.

Figure 22. Shift Lever

2.Remember the speed of the roller is directly proportional to the amount of pressure being applied to the lever in each direction.Travel speed is between 0 and 4.8 mph (7.2 kph).

CAUTION - Drive System Safety

ALWAYS allow the roller to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of travel. Changing directions before the roller comes to a complete stop will result in excessive force being applied to the transmission and drive system, which will reduce the over service life of the system.

3.Try manuvering the roller a few times to get familar with the handling. Also place the travel lever in the oposite direction to get acquainted with driving in reverse.

4.Make sure that the roller comes to a complete stop (neutral) before placing the travel lever in either a forward or reverse position.

Vibration Button

1.To begin the vibratory action, press the vibratory pushbutton switch located on top of the travel lever as shown in Figure 23. The pressing of this switch will generate 3,100 lbs. (1,406 Kg.) of centrifugal force at a frequency of 4000 vpm (vibrations per minute) to the front drum.

2.To stop the vibratory action, press the vibratory pushbutton switch again.

Sprinkler Controls

1.If the application requires the wetting of a surface, front and rear drum sprinkler controls have been provided. These controls (Figure 24) are located to the bottom right of the operators seat.The frontvalve controls the water supply to the front drum spray bar and the back valve contols water flow to the back drum spray bar.
