OPERATION
The Vibratory Roller is a hydraulically powered attach- ment intended to compact soil, stone, or fill material. The performance of the attachment can vary greatly depending on how it is used and operated. Therefore, the recommended operating procedures in this manual should be followed at all times for maximum productiv- ity.
When attaching the unit to the skid steer, ensure that all hydraulic hoses are coupled securely to the quick couplers.
Prior to operating the attachment, read this entire man- ual. Follow all safety rules in this manual and safety decals on the unit. Make sure that all guards, shields, and decals are in place and in good condition before operation.
MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
Before cleaning, adjusting, lubricating, or servicing this unit, ALWAYS follow the MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE:
1.Move the skid steer loader propulsion control lever to the “neutral” position.
2.Shut off the attachment by shutting off the auxiliary hydraulic output.
3.Lower the loader lift arms completely and roll the attachment forward so it is securely resting on firm ground or the shop floor.
4.Engage the loader parking brake.
5.Move the loader throttle to the slow idle position, shut the engine off, and remove the ignition key.
6.Keep the key with you at all times when working on the unit so no one can start the engine without your knowledge.
AARNING
■Failure to follow the procedures before clean- ing, adjusting, lubrication, or servicing this unit could lead to serious injury or death.
