Figure 22. Shift Lever
2. Remember the speed of the roller is directly proportional to
the amount of pressure being applied to the lever in each
direction. Travel speed is between 0 and 4.8 mph (7.2 kph).
3. Try manuvering the roller a few times to get familar with the
handling. Also place the travel lever in the oposite direction
to get acquainted with driving in reverse.
4. Make sure that the roller comes to a complete stop (neutral)
before placing the travel lever in either a forward or reverse
position.
Vibration Button
1. To begin the vibratory action,
press
the vibratory
pushbutton switch located on top of the travel lever as
shown in Figure 23. The pressing of this switch will
generate 3,100 lbs. (1,406 Kg.) of centrifugal force at a
frequency of 4000 vpm (vibrations per minute) to the
front
drum.
ALWAYS
allow the roller to come to a complete stop before
changing the direction of travel. Changing directions before
the roller comes to a complete stop will result in
excessive
force
being applied to the transmission and drive system,
which will reduce the over service life of the system.
