INTRODUCTION The purpose of this manual is to provide the operator and site maintenance personnel with knowledge of the fundamental rules and criteria to be followed for the on-site use and maintenance of the DD-29/DD-31HF/38HF double-drum vibratory asphalt compactors. This Operation and Maintenance Manual must be read and fully understood by the operator before operating the machine.
PROCEDURE WHEN RECEIVING THE MACHINE Your machine has been tested, accurately checked, and prepared for shipment. Every part of the machine, including the detached parts, has been accurately checked before being shipped from the factory. When you receive the machine, and before unpacking the equipment, check if damage has occurred during transport and if any parts are missing.
ENGINE IDENTIFICATION The engine serial number is stamped on a nameplate (1, Figure 2) located on the right side of the engine. Figure 2 INSTRUCTION MANUAL STORAGE A manual storage compartment (1, Figure 3) is located next to the operator’s seat and provides space for the Operation and Maintenance manual.
GENERAL INFORMATION All safety rules in Section 1 must be observed. If further information is required concerning the recommended use on asphalt applications, contact your local distributor or the following. Volvo Construction Equipment 312 Volvo Way Shippensburg, Pennsylvania 17257, USA...
ENGINE All Models have the following features: • Electric starting, belt driven alternator and battery are standard. • A dry type, two-stage air cleaner system provides clean air to the engine. A dust discharging evacuator valve is provided on the air cleaner. •...
BRAKES Service brakes are dynamic hydrostatic through the propulsion system. The secondary brakes are spring-applied, hydraulically released and are incorporated on both the front and rear drums for safety, reliability and maintenance-free operation. The secondary brakes activate automatically in the event of a power loss or can be activated by the operator with the park brake switch or E-Stop switch.
SECTION 1 SAFETY SAFETY BE AWARE OF SAFETY INFORMATION This is the Safety Alert Symbol. When you see this symbol in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury. Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices. UNDERSTAND SIGNAL WORDS A signal word - DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION - is used with the safety-alert symbol.
SAFETY SECTION 1 OVERVIEW BEFORE YOU OPERATE, MAINTAIN, OR IN ANY OTHER WAY USE THIS COMPACTOR: READ and STUDY this manual. KNOW how to safely use the compactor’s controls and what you must do for safe maintenance. ALWAYS wear or use the proper safety items required for your personal protection. If you have ANY QUESTIONS about the safe use or maintenance of this compactor, ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR OR CONTACT ANY DISTRIBUTOR.
SECTION 1 SAFETY SELECTION AND QUALIFICATION OF PERSONNEL Work on the machine must be performed by qualified personnel only. Statutory minimum age limits must be observed. Individual responsibilities of the personnel responsible for operation, setup, maintenance and repair of the machine should be stated clearly. Define the machine operator’s responsibilities - also with regard to observing traffic regulations the operator should have the authority to refuse instructions by third parties that are contrary to safety.
SAFETY SECTION 1 NEVER provide service or maintenance to the machine unless the drum and wheels are adequately chocked, articulation lock bar/pin is in locked position, and parking brake is applied. NEVER make any modifications to the machine which might affect safety without the manufacturer’s approval.
Page 22
SECTION 1 SAFETY CHECK the seat belt regularly for wear or damage. Inspect belt hardware and fabric. Replace if hardware is damaged or if strap is nicked, frayed or loose stitching is found. Seat belt assemblies should be replaced every 3 years regardless of appearance. Seat belt strength degrades over time and use due to exposure to weather, UV (ultraviolet radiation) and abrasives (dirt).
SAFETY SECTION 1 Starting ALWAYS USE hand rails and steps to get on and off the compactor. ALWAYS MAINTAIN a three-point contact when climbing onto or off of the compactor, a shown in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1 OM3_point_man READ and FOLLOW ALL instruction decals. ALWAYS be seated with the seat belt on when operating the machine.
SECTION 1 SAFETY NEVER jump start a frozen battery, as it will explode. While charging, lead acid batteries generate explosive gases. KEEP sparks, flames and lighted smoking materials away from batteries. ALWAYS wear safety glasses when working on or near batteries. PROCEED as follows when jump starting the compactor: •...
SAFETY SECTION 1 NEVER allow anyone to stand within the compactor’s articulation area when the engine is running. ALWAYS LOOK in all directions BEFORE changing your direction of travel. CONTROL the compactor travel speed with the LOW/HIGH speed control. When operating the compactor maintain the engine speed at full “Operating RPM.”...
Page 26
SECTION 1 SAFETY ALWAYS USE the correct tools and workshop equipment when performing maintenance to the machine. ALWAYS USE specially designed or otherwise safety oriented ladders and working platforms when doing overhead assembly work. Never use machine parts as a climbing aid. KEEP all handles, steps, handrails, platforms, landings and ladders free from mud, dirt, snow and ice.
Page 27
SAFETY SECTION 1 DISCONNECT the battery cables when working on the electrical system or when welding on the compactor. BE SURE the battery area is well ventilated (clear of fumes) should it be necessary to connect a jump battery or battery charger. Fumes from the battery can ignite by a spark and explode. BE SURE the battery charger is “OFF”...
SECTION 1 SAFETY GET immediate attention if fluid has been injected under your skin. Fluid penetration from a pin hole leak can cause severe injury or death. Hydraulic lines must be laid and fitted properly. Ensure that no connections are interchanged. The fittings, lengths and quality of the hoses must comply with the technical requirements.
Page 29
SAFETY SECTION 1 When raising the unit off the ground, apply the parking brake and lock out the vehicle pivot point. Attach the lifting apparatus only to the unit’s designated lifting points using properly rated lifting straps, cables, or chains. Use spreader bars to ensure equal weight distribution during lifting as well as avoid contact with the unit.
