MDR-9GH — OPERATION/LIFTING/TRANSPORTING

STOPPING

1.Place the vibrator and travel levers to the neutral position.

2.Slow down the engine and allow to cool for at least 2 minutes. In an electric start, return the key switch to the STOP position as soon as the engine stops.

CAUTION :

Neglecting to return the key switch to the STOP position will cause the battery to discharge, making start-up impossible the next time.

3.After the engine stops, close the fuel cock.

4.The hydraulic brake is automatically engaged when the travel lever is in neutral position.When parked on a slope with the engine turned off, place a block against the

roller drum to prevent the roller from moving.

UNLOADING

1.If you need to move the roller by pushing it manually once engine is stopped, push in the upper and lower knobs of the transmission check valve. This will cause the hydraulic break to disengage and allow the roller to be moved without causing damage (Figure 25).

LIFTING

1.Use a crane or lift to load and unload the machine. A skilled crane operator is required to perform the job.

2.When lifting the machine, check for any damaged or loose bolts, lifting hooks, and shock mounts.

3.Check any damaged or loose bolts in the guard frame to avoid machine sliding off.

4.Make sure that the machine is shut off before machine is lifted.

5.Use reliable cable for lifting.

6.Always lift the machine vertically and keep the machine away from workers and animals.

7.Do not lift the machine higher than the required height.

TRANSPORTING

1.Always make sure that the machine is shut off while being transported.

2.Check that the fuel cap is properly closed and tightened.

3.When traveling long distances or on rugged terrain, drain the fuel of the machine before transporting.

4.Tie down the machine securely on the transportation so that it will not move or topple over.

2.After moving, reset upper and lower knobs.

CAUTION :

NEVER tow roller with any type of vehicle. Doing so will damage the hydraulic system.

NEVER perform unloading procedure on a slope. This may cause roller to roll down if parking brake or blocking is deficient.
