Wacker Neuson Kubota Diesel Trench Roller - RTKx-SC3

• Patented three receiving eye design eliminates signal loss from trench shoring while retaining the line-of-sight control of the roller. With 16 channel transmission, multiple rollers can be operated on the same jobsite without interference from one another.
• RTx model offers flexible drums that allows for convenient conversion from 32 in/82 cm to 22in/56 cm. The easy to remove extensions have a central mounting system that protects the bolts from exposure to damage during operation.
• The articulated joint increases maneuverability and the low center of gravity improves stability. High and low compaction force provides flexibility depending on the job.
• The lower end is completely maintenance-free due to the self-lubricating design of the drive and the exciter.
• The engine control module with diagnostic LEDs monitors machine functions such as oil pressure, radiator level, engine temperature, glow plug, battery and air filter capacity for easy operation and troubleshooting.

Maintenance Tips

• Pre-Use Inspection: Check for hydraulic leaks, loose bolts, worn components, and proper track tension before each operation. Ensure remote control functions properly.
• Use Clean, High-Quality Diesel Fuel: Always use fresh, low-sulfur diesel fuel. Regularly drain water and contaminants from the fuel tank and fuel filter to prevent engine issues.
• Check and Change Engine Oil: Monitor oil levels and follow the manufacturer’s recommended oil change schedule. Use the correct diesel engine oil for optimal performance.
• Inspect and Clean Air Filter: Check the air filter regularly. Clean or replace it to ensure proper airflow and prevent engine damage from dust and debris.
• Monitor Coolant Levels: Keep coolant levels within the recommended range. Check for leaks in the radiator and hoses, and use the correct coolant mixture.
• Inspect Hydraulic System: Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels and look for leaks or worn hoses. Change hydraulic fluid and filters as specified by the manufacturer.
• Check the Vibratory System: Ensure the exciter housing is properly lubricated and that the vibration system operates smoothly without unusual noises or overheating.
• Battery Maintenance: Keep battery terminals clean and inspect the charge level. A weak battery can cause starting issues, especially in cold weather.
• Clean and Inspect Remote Control: Ensure the remote control unit is free from dirt, damage, and interference. Check the batteries and range to ensure reliable operation.
• Store Properly: When not in use, store in a dry, covered area. Protect from extreme temperatures and ensure all fluids are at proper levels before long-term storage.
