Figure 6. MDR-9GH Vibratory Roller
Components
Figure 6 illustrates the location of the major components
for the MDR-9GH Vibratory Roller. The function of each
component is described below:
1. Handle Bar – When operating the roller, this handle is to
be in the downward position. When the roller is to be
stored
, move the handle bar to the upright position.
2. Hand Grip – When operating the roller, use this hand grip
to maneuver the roller. Also has dead man device, when
pressed or hit while traveling in reverse, causes the travel
lever to return to neutral position to stop the machine.
3. Travel Lever –

the lever forward, the roller will move
in a forward direction,
pull
the lever backwards, the roller
will move in backwards direction. Placing the lever in the
middle (midway) will cause the roller not to move (neutral).
4. Vibrator Lever – Turns the vibration on and off.
5. Oil Cap – Open to fill with proper grade of diesel engine
oil.
6. V-Belt Cover – Remove this cover to gain access to the V-
