TRAVELING
CAUTION
Make sureto follow allsafetyrulesreferencedin thesafetysectionofthismanualbeforeoperating roller. Keep work area clear of debris and other objects that could cause damage to the roller or bodily injury.
1.To make the roller move in the forward direction push the travel lever ( Figure 20) forward. This roller has a hydraulic variable speed transmission. By moving the travel lever varioysincrements,youcanvarythespeedfrom0to1.8mph (0 to 3 km/hr).

5.Grasp the starting handle firmly in both hands and turn counterclockwise at increasing speed. Five turns of the starting handle are needed to build up enough compression to start the engine.
6.Once the engine starts, stop cranking and remove the starting handle from the guide sleeve.

2.Tomake the roller move in the reverse direction pull the travel lever ( Figure 20) backwards.
3.Firmly gasp the roller's hand grip, the roller will begin moving in the desired position when the direction lever has been placed in the desired position.
CAUTION
DO NOT reduce speed during work. When shifting travel lever from forward to reverse, be sure to stop the lever at the neutral position first before moving the lever to the opposite direction. DO NOT shift the lever from forward to reverse (or reverse to forward) in one motion.
CAUTION
After test travel, shut down engine and check for any problems including oil leakage. If any trouble is found, correct the problem before attempting to operate the roller again.
