MAN0357 (Rev. 12/10/2007)
OPERATION
The Vibratory Roller is a hydraulically powered attach-
ment intended to compact soil, stone, or fill material.
The performance of the attachment can vary greatly
depending on how it is used and operated. Therefore,
the recommended operating procedures in this manual
should be followed at all times for maximum productiv-
ity.
When attaching the unit to the skid steer, ensure that
all hydraulic hoses are coupled securely to the quick
couplers.
Prior to operating the attachment, read this entire man-
ual. Follow all safety rules in this manual and safety
decals on the unit. Make sure that all guards, shields,
and decals are in place and in good condition before
operation.
MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
Before cleaning, adjusting, lubricating, or servicing this
unit, ALWAYS follow the MANDATORY SAFETY
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE:
1. Move the skid steer loader propulsion control lever
to the “neutral” position.
2. Shut off the attachment by shutting off the auxiliary
hydraulic output.
3. Lower the loader lift arms completely and roll the
attachment forward so it is securely resting on firm
ground or the shop floor.
4. Engage the loader parking brake.
5. Move the loader throttle to the slow idle position,
shut the engine off, and remove the ignition key.
6. Keep the key with you at all times when working on
the unit so no one can start the engine without your
knowledge.
■ Failure to follow the procedures before clean-
ing, adjusting, lubrication, or servicing this unit
could lead to serious injury or death.
ATTACHING TO LOADER
See operating instructions in skid steer manual for
proper attachment of vibratory roller to skid steer.
Connect hydraulic hoses to auxiliary hydraulic outputs
of skid steer.
NOTICE
■ All hoses should be free of kinks, cuts or abra-
sions for safe operation.
■ Use auxiliary flow only. High flow use can
result in motor failure and will void manufacturer’s
warranty. See specifications for acceptable flow
rates.
TO COMPACT
1. Position the roller by placing roller drum on the
ground.
2. Raise the front wheels of the loader 1 to 3 inches
(2.5 to 7.6 cm) by lowering the loader arms and
rolling the bucket plate out slightly.
3. Engage the loader auxiliary hydraulic circuit.
4. Drive the loader forward slowly.
NOTICE
■ The drive circuit is bi-directional. For best
results, the vibratory axle should spin the direction
of the roller axis.
