PAVER ROLLER
OWNER'S MANUAL

OPERATION

Operating Principle
An eccentric weight mounted on the exciter shaft contained within the exciter housing is driven
at high speed by a clutch and belt drive system. This high-speed shaft revolution causes the
rapid vibration motion and compaction force of the machine. The Paver Roller is designed to
run at an engine speed (engine take off shaft) of 3600 rpm. (Normally considered full throttle).
Running the engine at lower rpms will result in a decrease of compaction force. It will create
excessive "out-of-synch" vibrations resulting in poor compaction, excessive wear to the
machine, and discomfort to the operator. The machine is propelled forward or reverse by the
operator pushing or pulling the machine by the handle.
Starting Procedure- WARM CLIMATE
Open fuel valve on gas tank. Set throttle lever to
"Fast" idle position, set choke to closed position, start engine. Open choke slightly to prevent
flooding. Move to "Open" or "Run" position when engine is warm, increase throttle to maximum
operation position (3600 rpm).
Starting Procedure- COLD CLIMATE
Follow same procedure as above but allow longer warm-up period – 3 to 5 minutes. In cold
weather, oil is much heavier to move and requires more time to work its way into the moving
parts. If maximum power is not attained, allow further warm-up time.
Fill fuel tank with clean gasoline, use safety approved gas containers. DO NOT MIX OIL WITH
GASOLINE – USE UNLEADED GAS ONLY.
Stopping Procedure
1. Throttle engine down.
2. Depress or turn off stop switch.
OPERATION
1. In operation, push or pull on the handle to move the machine. Always keep the machine
moving while it is working to prevent cracking of pavers. Bearing down on the handle is
unnecessary and causes shock absorber wear.
2. ALWAYS OPERATE THE MACHINE AT FULL THROTTLE. If excessive vibration is felt
through the handle, do not operate until the engine is checked and set at its maximum
running speed of 3600 rpm. Insure the drive belt is adjusted properly. Refer to belt
tension section.
