Operation Driving Driving Machine may only be operated from the operator platform. Seat contact switch WARNING Extended braking distance! A delay in the effect of the automatic application of the brakes can lead to serious injuries or death. Do not use the function of the seat contact switch to stop the machine.
Page 77
Operation Driving The machine is equipped with a hydraulic four-wheel drive, which is driven by a variable displacement pump. The blower output is fed to both hub motors in the drum. The driving power of the machine is used for the locomotion according to the surface conditions and the corresponding drift.
Operation Driving with vibration / oscillation 3.04 Driving with vibration / oscillation General WARNING Explosion! Risk of injury due to burns and moving parts. Prior to switching on the vibration function, it must be ensured that there are no lines laid in the underground. 002-19 WARNING Reduced road adhesion!
Page 79
Operation Driving with vibration / oscillation Vibration / oscillation 15541 Pressing pushbutton [316] preselects the vibration system in the front drum, in the rear drum, or in both drums. The control light (symbol without vibration) indicates a pre-selected but de-activated vibration system. Each actuation of the switch switches one step ahead.
Operation Stopping, switching off engine, leaving machine 3.05 Stopping, switching off engine, leaving machine WARNING Uncontrolled driving behaviour! Autonomous movement of the machine can lead to serious injuries or death. Switch off diesel engine even if you leave the operator platform only for short time.
Page 81
Operation Stopping, switching off engine, leaving machine Automatic engine stop If the machine is fitted with an automatic engine stop, under certain conditions, the diesel engine is switched off automatically after a fixed set time. Prerequisites: 1. Driving lever is locked in position 0. 2.
Operation Operation monitoring 3.06 Operation monitoring 3.06.01 Filling levels Pay attention to the filling level for operating supply items (fuel etc.). 1. Fill up tanks in time. 2. Never drive the machine until the fuel tank is empty. 3.06.02 Pilot lights 15433 Observe the control and indication instruments on the dashboard from time to time.
Operation Water sprinkling 3.07 Water sprinkling General The pressure sprinkling ensures a reliable moistening of the roller drums during blacktop works and thus prevents bituminous materials from adhering to the drums. An electric water pump supplies the sprinkling system with water so that the water consumption can be optimally adjusted to the deployment conditions using the installed automatic sprinkling.
Page 84
Operation Water sprinkling Sprinkler nozzle check when Requirement: engine is at a standstill 1. Engine stopped 2. EMERGENCY STOP [302] — position DOWN 3. Switch [310] — position I 4. Parking brake [304] — APPLIED 5. Driving lever [501] — max. to the FRONT 6.
Operation Additive sprinkling 3.08 Additive sprinkling General The additive sprinkling enables a moistening of the wheels with a separating compound. This prevents that bitumen sticks on tyres when laying blacktops. This is the only way to make a neat and even covering. The emulsion may only be mixed of parting agent concentrate and water according to the indications of the parting agent producer (Observe regulations for environment protection).
Operation Scraper 3.09 Scraper General 17243 The scrapers [A] are designed to remove clogging dirt from the surface of the roller drums / tyres when working on soft, adhesive ground. With grounds that are not clingy or with transporting operations the scrapers can be lifted away from the roller drums / tyres.
Operation Scraper 3.09.02 Roller drum scraper, down 16932 Attach scraper 1. Switch off diesel engine and remove ignition key. 2. Turn stop lever [536] to I position for a short time. Moving the scraper away 1. Switch off diesel engine and remove ignition key. 2.
Operation Track offset 3.10 Track offset General Compacting work along kerbs or similar borders cannot be carried out, or only in a limited way, without track movement of the drums. A track adjustment especially developed for this problem enables the machine to drive very precisely along such problem areas.
Operation Start with jump leads 3.11 Start with jump leads Preparation Observe precaution measures for handling batteries (see Safety instructions). Pay attention to the nominal voltage of the batteries. A discharged battery can freeze already at 0 °C (32 °F). It is essential that you defrost a frozen battery in a warm room before connecting it with jump leads.
Page 90
Operation Start with jump leads Removing leads 1. To prevent overloads in the electrical system, switch on an electrical component in the discharged vehicle (e.g. driving light) before removing the jump leads. 2. Remove the jump leads in reverse order. BA RD24_RD28 en us 06...
Operation Towing 3.12 Towing General WARNING Brake out of order! Unintentional rolling away of the machine can lead to serious injuries or death. Prior to releasing the brake, secure the machine against rolling away with wedges. 002-23 17260 Towing the machine requires sufficient knowledge about the functioning of the hydrostatic drive and about the operation of the spring accumulators.
Page 92
Operation Towing 1. Drive lever [501] — CENTRE 2. Shut down diesel engine, if still functional. 3. Secure machine against rolling away with wedges or blocks. 4. Interrupt frictional connection of the hydrostatic drive (see text below). 5. Disable parking brakes (see text below). 6.
Page 93
Operation Towing Putting parking brake out of operation 15496 The pretension of the spring-operated brakes may only be reduced when towing with a defective diesel engine or hydraulic system. 1. Loosen screw [A] and screw out by hand until a resistance can be noted (approximately 5 rotations).

Tables Technical data 5.00.02 Hydraulic oil The most important characteristic of a pressure fluid is its viscosity. Compliance with the permissible viscosity ranges is especially important for pumps and hydraulic motors. Too high a viscosity leads to cavitation, too low a viscosity increases leak losses = overheating, and thus a further fall in the viscosity. In the end, the limit of the lubricating capability is reached.
You can request for these instructions at Wacker Neuson Customer service. All filters in the oil circuit are to be replaced 50 operating hours after oil replacement. After that, the filter change intervals given in this instructions apply again.
ISO VG 68 tropical HEES Synthetic, saturated ester ISO VG 100 extreme heat (ISO-VG: viscosity grade). Special oil Only Wacker Neuson special oil is admissible. Gear box oil with Limited-Slip-Additions. API GL-5 SAE 85W-90 The oil quality must correspond to the API classification.
