CA280 PIN (S/N) *68820280* CA280D PIN (S/N) *68920280* One of Dynapac's medium heavy vibratory soil compactors is the CA280. It is available in a solely wheel-driven version and in a wheel-and-drum-driven version, called CA280D. All types of base courses and reinforcement courses can be compacted to considerable depth.
17. Make no changes or modifications on the roller that could affect safety. Changes may only be made following written consent by Dynapac. 18. Do not use the roller until the hydraulic fluid has reached its normal work- ing temperature.
SAFETY WHEN DRIVING Driving near an edge When you drive near an edge, at least two thirds of the drum width must be on solid ground. Remember that the machine’s center of gravity is displaced outward when you steer to one side. For example, it shifts to the right when you steer to the left.

BEFORE STARTING Battery disconnecter – Switching ON Remember to carry out daily service. See maintenance manual. The battery disconnecter is located in the engine compartment. Open the engine cover and set the key (1) to the ON position. The entire roller will be powered. The hourmeter (2) records the number of hours so long as the engine is running.

BEFORE STARTING Field of view Before starting, make sure that the field of view is unobstructed, both in front and behind. All cab windows must be clean and rearview mirrors properly adjusted. Fig. 15 Field of view CA280 O280EN1...
STARTING Starting the engine Set the forward/reverse lever (20) in neutral. The engine can only be started with the lever in neutral. Set the amplitude selector (13) for Low/High vibration to mode O. Set the revs control (16) to the idling mode. Turn the starter switch (2) to mode I.
DRIVING Driving the roller Under no circumstances may the machine be operated from the outside. The operator must remain seated inside the machine during all operation. Move the revs control lever (16) upwards and latch it at its limit, engine speed should now be about 2300 rpm. Ensure that the steering is working properly by turning the steering wheel once to the right and once to the left while the roller is stationary.
VIBRATION/DRIVING Low/High amplitude – Setting Drum vibration can be set in two modes, selected using the switch (13). Turn the knob to the left mode for low amplitude, to the right mode for high amplitude. Never alter the amplitude setting while the vibration is running.
BRAKING Using the reserve brake Braking is normally done with the forward/reverse lever (20). The hydrostatic transmission brakes the roller when the lever is moved toward neutral. In addition, multi-disc brakes in the rear axle act as a parking brake and are activated when the reserve brake knob (5) is pressed in.
PARKING Chocking the drum Never leave the roller with the engine running unless the reserve/parking brake knob is pressed in. Ensure that the roller is parked in a safe place for traffic. Chock the drums if the roller is parked on sloping ground. Remember the risk of freezing during the winter.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIFTING Locking the articulated joint Articulation must be locked to prevent inadvertent turning before lifting the roller. Turn the steering wheel so that the machine is set to drive straight forward. Push in the reserve/parking brake knob. Pull out the lowermost locking cotter (2) fitted with a wire, pull up locking stud (3) fitted with a wire.
TOWING BOGSERING Alternative 1 Towing short distance with engine working The roller may be moved a distance of up to 300 metres (330 yards) using either of the following alternatives. Press the reserve/parking brake knob, and stop the engine temporarily. Chock the drums to prevent the machine from rolling.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOWING Drum axle, brake disengagement Normal mode Brake is active Disengage the drum brake by unscrewing the four hexagonal socket screws (5) about 5 mm (3/16 in) and then by pulling out the motor adapter against the screw heads.
TOWING/RETRIEVAL Towing a roller The roller must be counter-braked when towing. Use a towbar because the roller will have no ability to brake. The roller must be towed slowly, max. 3 km/h (2 mph) and for a short distance only, max. 300 m (330 yards).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - SUMMARY 1. Follow the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in the Safety Manual. 2. Ensure that all instructions in the maintenance manual are followed. 3. Turn the battery disconnecter to ON. 4. Move the forward/reverse lever to neutral. 5. Set the vibration selector to the O mode. 6.
