Operation:

Three yellow labels showing a lifting hook indicate where hooks must be
attached in order to lift the Compact safely. The machine's total weight is
given on page 1. Do not use slings that are too short.
No adjustments or similar action is necessary before starting to use the
Compact. The roller is drawn by the pickup-hitch of the tractor; which
should be about 40 cm above the ground.
Remember to secure the draw bolt with a split pin or similar device.
Connect the hydraulic hose (marked white) to a single-acting valve. Connect
the other two hoses (marked red) to a double-acting valve.
All the hoses are fitted with 1/2" connectors. If the tractor is not equipped for
these, your dealer can help. A maximum pump pressure of 160 bar is required.
Defective hoses must be repaired or replaced immediately. A broken hose can
in bad cases cause personal injury or mechanical damage to the roller.
All operation must take place from the driver's seat and there must be no-one
else in the vicinity of the machine. The change from transport to operational
mode, and vice versa, must be made while stationary on more or less level
ground, with the tractor almost idling. To unfold, operate first the single-
acting valve, so that the side sections are lifted clear of their transport
bearings; use the double-acting valve to unfold the side sections completely.
Then lower the pressure from the single-acting valve, so that the roller tilts
down to the ground. It is advantageous to to allow the valves to float freely
during rolling, if possible.
To raise the roller, apply the pressure first with the double-acting valve, so
that the long cylinder across the roller is completely compressed. Then lift the
roller completely vertical with the single-acting valve. Fold the side sections
in by means of the double-acting valve. Lastly, lower them into their transport
bearings using the single-acting valve.
The roller must be raised only for transport. It is not necessary to raise it when
turning. It can also run backwards in the operating position.
Recommended speed of travel: 4-5 mph. Move slowly over stony ground.
