R2000H — GENERAL INFORMATION

The R2000H roller has been designed for asphalt application and compaction of granular soils used in site preparation. Use the machine only for the purpose intended and by experienced personnel who understand this operating manual and all safety decals. Typical applications for this roller are driveways, patch work and road repairs.

POWER PLANT

The R2000H roller is powered by a Honda GX240K1QAE2, air- cooled, gasoline engine rated at 7.1 hp @3,600 rpm.The engine features a side-mounted muffler designed to direct engine exhaust away from the operator.In the event of low oil, this engine has a built in "oil alert system" that will shut down if the engine oil level reaches an unsafe operating level.

SPRINKLER SYSTEM

A 21 gallon (79.5 liters) water tank with a gravity feed spray bar is provided for wetting the roll for asphalt pavement rolling.

The water system is fully adjustable from the operator’s position by adjusting the valve in the floor.

Water can be added to the front and rear rollers.Thirty gallons (250 lbs.) of water can be added to the front rollers, 51 gallons (427 lbs.) to the rear roller.

Before starting an asphalt rolling job, be sure all spray bar holes are clear of dirt or foreign matter and are working. Always use clean fresh water in the water tank.To prevent rust and foreign debris from clogging the spray bar holes, drain and flush water tank and spray bars every 30 days.

LIFTING THE ROLLER

When lifting of the roller is required, attach a suitable hook or shackle to the lifting eye of the roller. These lifting points (4) are marked by a lifting hook decal. Make

sure the lifting device is capable of lifting 4,000 lbs. (1,814 Kg.).

DANGER:

Before operating the roller, make sure that personnel and obstacles are free from the roller’s path. Serious injury or even death can 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 mph.The neutral position of this lever will cause the roller to stop.

Danger

NEVER! stand under, or get onto the roller while it is being lifted or moved.

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.

CAUTION

DO NOT operate this roller on slippery or wet surfaces.

Danger

This roller is not offered with a Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS).The possibility exists of the roller tipping over causing severe bodily harm , even death, if side-side operation is used (Figure 3). DO NOT use this roller for side to side applications.

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 rather than from side to side. For safe operation hillside slopes should not exceed 15 degrees (27 % grade). See Figure 2 below.
