DANGER

DO NOT allow personnel to stand under or near any suspended machine. Before operating the roller, make sure that personnel and obstacles are free from the roller’s path. Serious injury or death may result.

The forward-reverse control lever operates the hydrostatic pump which governs the roller speed and direction of travel. The speed in which movement of this lever is made is directly related to the amount of pressure that is applied to the travel lever in each direction.Travel speed is infinitely variable from 0 to 4.8 mph.The neutral position of this lever will cause the roller to stop.

CAUTION

ONLY use approved certified lifting devices capable of lifting at least 4,000 lbs. (1,814 Kg.).

CAUTION

When lifting of the roller is required, only use the provided lifting eyes to lift the roller. Using other sections of the roller for lifting purposes may cause severe damage to the roller.

OPERATING ON SLOPES

Special care must be taken when operating the roller on hills or slopes. There exist the possibility of serious injury to the operator and severe damage to the roller in the event of a roll over. ALWAYS operate the roller up and down hills rater than from side to side. For safe operation hillside slopes should not exceed 12 degree (27 % grade). See Figure 2.

CAUTION

NEVER operate the roller on side slopes (Figure 3). The possibility exists that the roller could tip over (roll over), thus causing bodily harm, even death, and serious damage to the equipment.

ROLL OVER

Figure 3. Tipping (Rollover)

In the event the roller does tip over, if at all possible, try to shut down the engine by turning the ignition key to the OFF position. Extreme care must be taken to prevent damage to the engine. When the roller has been tipped over, oil from the engine crankcase can flow into the combustion chamber, which can severely damage the engine the next time it is started.

IMMEDIATELY after a unit has tipped over, upright the unit as soon as possible to prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the engine after a rollover, the roller must NOT be started. NEVER start a roller after a rollover. CONTACT your nearest authorized Multiquip dealer for instructions or servicing.
