VIBRATING
1.Shift the two vibrator levers (Figures 21 and 22) to the vibrate position to start vibrations.
Figure 21. Vibrator Lever
MDR-9D — OPERATION
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. Place speed control lever in the stop position and listen for the engine to stop running.
CAUTION :
NEVER attempt to stop the engine by moving the decompression lever. Always use the speed control lever to stop engine.
3.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 22. Vibrator Lever (Body)
CAUTION :
Using vibration with clutch slipping causes the clutch to burn. Also, vibration should NOT be used over completely compacted area, paved road surface, or with stationary roller.
WATERING
1.To operate water sprinkling system, turn on the front and rear water valves on the side of the roller. (Figure 23).
Figure 24. Disengaging Hydraulic Brake
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.
