Maintenance Tips

• Pre-Operation Inspection – Before each use, inspect the roller for damage or wear, including the condition of the drum, tires, and handle. Check fluid levels, including fuel, hydraulic oil, and engine oil.

• Engine Oil – Change the engine oil after the first 50 hours and then every 100 hours of operation, or once a year. Use the recommended oil grade to ensure proper lubrication of the engine and to prevent premature wear.

• Air Filter – Clean or replace the air filter every 50 hours of use or more often if operating in dusty or dirty conditions. A clogged filter reduces engine performance and can lead to overheating.

• Fuel System – Always use clean, fresh fuel to avoid contamination. Drain fuel if the roller will be in storage for an extended period. Use fuel stabilizer to maintain fuel quality during long-term storage.

• Hydraulic Fluid – Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels, especially before operation. Replace hydraulic fluid every 500 hours or as recommended in the manual to ensure smooth operation of the hydraulic system.

• Battery Maintenance – Check the battery condition before use. Ensure terminals are clean, and connections are tight. Clean any corrosion from terminals, and maintain the battery charge if not in use for an extended period.

• Tire Inspection – Regularly check the tires for wear and correct inflation. Proper tire pressure ensures better compaction and a smoother ride. Replace tires if they show signs of excessive wear or damage.

• Roller Drum and Compaction System – Inspect the roller drum for any debris, cracks, or other damage. Clean the drum after each use to ensure optimal performance and even compaction.

• Drive System – Check the drive belt and transmission for wear. Lubricate moving parts regularly to ensure smooth operation and prevent excessive friction or damage to the drive components.

• Radiator and Cooling System – Keep the radiator free from debris and ensure that the coolant levels are adequate. Clean the radiator fins as needed to prevent engine overheating.

• Spark Plug – Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace it if needed (every 100 hours or annually). A clean spark plug ensures reliable ignition and optimal engine performance.

• Braking System – Test the brakes for proper function and adjust as needed. Ensure that the brake pads are not worn excessively and replace them if necessary.

• Lubrication of Moving Parts – Regularly lubricate all moving parts, including bearings, pivots, and joints, to reduce friction and prevent wear. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended lubrication schedule.

• Hydraulic Hoses and Connections – Inspect hydraulic hoses for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks. Tighten any loose connections, and replace any damaged hoses to prevent fluid loss and maintain system integrity.

• Storage – If storing the roller for an extended period, drain fuel, clean the unit, and store it in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area. Protect it with a cover to prevent dust and moisture buildup.
