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.
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.
CAUTION :
2. With the throttle lever in the RUN position, increase
the engine rotation.
3. Push the travel lever forward slightly. This will cause
the roller to travel forward at slow speed.
4. To increase the travel speed, push the travel lever
further.
5. Travel speed can be varied between 0 and 3 km/h
(both forward and reverse).
6. Push the travel lever backward to go in the reverse
direction.
