SOLUTION

 

 

 

Insufficient compaction

Loader “down pressure”

Increase the “down pressure” by

 

insufficient

raising the front wheels off the

 

 

ground (see Operation).

 

Vibration circuit pressure

Adjust the bypass pressure (screw

 

insufficient

on top of valve) to 1000-1100 psi

 

 

(69-76 bar). See exploded view,

 

 

page 16.

 

 

 

Excessive vibration

Vibration circuit pressure

Adjust the bypass pressure (screw

 

excessive

on top of valve) to 1000-1100 psi

 

 

(69-96 bar). See exploded view,

 

 

page 16.

 

 

 

Does not vibrate

No hydraulic oil flow from loader

Check the loader hydraulics.

 

The roller vibratory drive is broken

Check the hydraulic motor and the

 

 

drive coupler.

 

The coupler tack welds broke

Re-tack the weld coupler to the

 

 

shaft. Caution: Never ground the

 

 

welder so current passes through

 

 

the bearings.

 

 

 

Drum tends to skid

Countershaft rotation incorrect

Reverse direction of the auxiliary

 

 

hydraulics.

 

 

 

Hydraulic oil coming from breather

Bearing oil galley was over filled

Determine if the fluid leak is gear

fitting on right side of roller.

lube, drain the roller and refill prop-

 

 

erly. If it’s hydraulic oil, replace the

 

 

motor shaft seal, drain roller bear-

DEALER SERVICE

Although the Alitec attachment is supplied fully assem- bled, some simple checks should be performed before operation begins.

SAFETY DECALS

The safety decals existing on the attachment should be clearly readable and always followed. The location and description of the decals is shown in the exploded dia- gram. Copies of the decals are shown in the safety section.

LUBRICATION

Bearing housings should be 1/2 full of lubricant. Two ports are located on the end cap of the idle (right) side

bearing housing. When roller is level, lubricant should be at a level even with the bottom of the straight port.

NOTICE

Type of lubricant should be 80-90W gear lube with an EP (extreme pressure) rating of GL-5 mini- mum.

HOSES / FITTINGS

Hydraulic fittings are used to connect all attachment hoses. All fittings should be tight and free of hydraulic leaks. Hoses must be free of crimps or cuts that might result in leakage. Check your attachment before opera- tion to make sure all hose routings are kink-free and allow for maximum movement of all extended, lift/lower, and/or swing motion required during normal operation.
