Multiquip MDR-9DYE manual Stopping, Unloading, 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 24).

Figure 24. Disengaging Hydraulic Brake

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.
