each component or control is described below:
1. Water Volume Control Valve — This valve controls
the volume flow of water to the front and rear spray
bars. Turn the valve to the counterclockwise to increase
water flow and clockwise to decrease water flow.
2. Travel Lever — Push the lever forward to make
the roller travel in a forward direction. Pull the lever
backward to make the roller travel in a reverse direction.
Maximum travel speed is 4.8 MPH (7.7 KPH). Center
position is neutral; no travel.
3. Vibration Control Switch — Toggle switch to activate
the eccentric that will produce a vibration frequency of
4,200 vpm (vibrations per minute). Toggle switch again
to stop vibration.
4. Water Pump Switch — Activates the water pump. The
water pump indicator turns on.
5. Hour/Tachometer — Indicates the number hours the

or in cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the
fuel mixture.
7. Throttle Control — Slide control to the left to increase
engine rpm. Slide to the right to decrease engine rpm.
Slide all the way to the left to achieve maximum engine
rpm.
8. Steering Wheel — Use this wheel to steer the roller.

The scraper bar is spring-loaded for easy change and
clean up. No tools are required.
18. Rear Drum — This is a 35.6-inch wide steel drum
with a diameter of 22 inches. It has beveled edges to
help prevent asphalt marring. The rear drum has a
water ballast allowing 34 gallons of water to add 292
of static force.
19. Compartment Hood — Houses the engine, hydraulic
manifold, accessory relay, hydraulic oil filter, hoses,
and hydraulic pump. To lift the compartment hood,
