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.
