Health & Safety SAFETY USE These machines are designed to carry out the function of compacting material of the cohesive, bituminous and granular varieties. If used correctly they will provide an effective and safe means of compaction and meet the appropriate performance standards.
DElIVERY INSPECTION Operation Upon receipt of your roller, CAREFULLY CHECK FOR ANY FREIGHT DAMAGE. Any damage should be immediately reported to the carrier and a claim registered. Rhino is manufactured to the strictest specifications and inspection procedures. If any material or manufacturing defects are found, return the tag on the machine with the assembler’s signature and your findings to the manufacturer.
WARNING Operation Keep the vent hole in fuel tank cap open. If vent hole is plugged, pressure may build up in tank, causing dangerous spraying of fuel when cap is removed. A vacuum may also be created during operation, which could stop fuel flow. ENGINE OIl lEVEl Change oil at 50-hours, then every 500-hours.
2. Only remove filler cap when cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure before removing completely. Operation 3. Remove cap, coolant level should just touch the bottom of radiator filler neck. If coolant is required, see “Adding Coolant”...
VISUAl INSPECTION Operation Make a thorough inspection of the engine compartment daily. Look for oil or coolant leaks, worn fan belt, loose connections and trash build-up. Remove trash build-up and have repairs made as needed if leaks are found. NOTE: Wipe all fittings, caps, and plugs before performing any maintenance to reduce the chance of system contamination.
TO OPERATE Operation Apply full throttle and move forward/reverse lever slowly forward to gain speed desired. Use the same procedure for reverse. To slow down move forward/reverse lever towards neutral. To gain power or speed, move the forward/reverse lever slightly off neutral. This will pro- duce the greatest amount of torque.
PARkING THE MACHINE Operation Always use care when parking the machine. Do not park on unstable ground or in an unsafe position. Observe the following caution: Never park the roller on an incline. The roller may creep forward or reverse even when engine is off. Tipping may occur resulting in personal injury or engine damage.
During a roll-over: Operation • Grip the steering wheel tightly with both hands and wait until the roller comes to rest. • Press the Emergency Stop Button. • Dismount the roller immediately if it is safe to do so. Horn The horn should be used as a warning to others.
OPERATOR CONTROlS Operation Keyswitch (Item 1, Technical Data) Keyswitch positions OFF, RUN, PRE-HEAT, START. In the OFF position the electrical control circuits are not powered. In the RUN position all instruments and electrical control cir- cuits are powered. Refer to the illustration in Throttle (Item 2, Technical Data) Pull throttle out to increase engine speed.
Hour Meter (Item 9, Technical Data) Operation The hour meter records the hours of opertation and is used to determine when periodic maintenance is required. Record hours and dates of service on Service Record Chart. WARNING Refer to the Avoid leaving the key on when machine is not running. This illustration in will have an effect on the hour meter readings.
Operation COMPACTION TIPS Avoid sharp turns, steer gradually. If articulation is a new concept, we suggest the opera- tor take 20 minutes or so to get used to the feel of the unit. Recommended compaction speed should be at 3 m.p.h. or less to achieve a uniform compaction. WARNING Do not articulate on grades larger than 15”, roller may tip over.
TIE DOWNS Operation The roller is equipped with front and rear tie down points for shipping purposes. Use only these points to secure unit. Tie downs may be used in emergency or breakdown. • When loaded, the roller must be secured using chains, ropes, straps, etc. of suf- ficient strength to hold the roller safely in all circumstances.
Operation TOWING (BYPASS) WARNING Never push or pull the roller with the engine off. When engine is not running, the brake is applied. When the engine is running and the forward/reverse lever is in NEUTRAL, the brake will apply within 2 seconds. In an emergency or during a breakdown, it may be necessary or desirable to tow the roller.
IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE INFORMATION Maintenance WARNING Remove the key and / or disconnect battery to avoid accidental ignition of en- gine. Severe personal injury may occur. Roller must be parked on level ground with parking brake applied, engine off, and drum blocked. Never work on the roller with engine running.
HYDRAUlIC OIl/FIlTER Maintenance WARNING Pressurized release of fluids from hydraulic system can cause serious burns. Shut off engine.
