CA 150 is Dynapac’s light vibratory soil compactor. Available in D (smooth drum) and
PD (padfoot) versions. The PD version has its widest range of application on cohesive
material and rockfill materials.
All types of supporting and reinforcement courses can be compacted, and the
interchangeable drums, ie, D to PD and vice versa, give enhanced versatility in the
choice of application.
The cab and safety-related accessories are described in this manual. Other accessories,
such as the compaction meter, etc. are described in separate instructions.

SAFETY MANUAL
GENERAL
Safety instructions – Personal safety
Special caution – Machine or component damage
The safety manual, which accompanies each
machine, must be studied by each operator of
the roller. Always follow the safety rules and
do not remove the manual from the roller.
This manual contains instructions concerning operation
and use of the roller. For information regarding care and
maintenance, see the manual, “MAINTENANCE, CA 150”.
When starting up and driving a cold machine,
which implies cold hydraulic fluid, the braking
distance will be longer than normal until the
machine reaches normal working temperature.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Read the Safety Manual also)
1. The operator must be familiar with the contents of the OPERATION MAN-
UAL before starting the roller.
2. Make sure that all instructions in the MAINTENANCE MANUAL are fol-
lowed.
3. Only trained and/or experienced operators may drive the roller. Passen-
gers are not allowed on the roller. Remain seated during all operation.
4. Never use the roller if it is in need of adjustment or repairs.
5. Board and leave the roller only when it is stationary. Use the grips and rail-
ings that are provided. Always use a ”three-point grip” - both feet and one
hand or one foot and both hands - when boarding or exiting the machine.
6. The ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) should always be used when
the machine is operated on risky ground.
7. Drive slowly in sharp bends.
8. Avoid driving at an angle on slopes; drive straight up or down.
9. When driving close to unsafe edges or holes, make sure that at least two
thirds of the drum width is firmly on material that has already been com-
pacted.
10. Make sure that there are no obstacles in the direction of travel, on the
ground or overhead.
11. Drive extra carefully on uneven ground.
12. Use the safety equipment provided. The seat belt must be worn on ma-
chines fitted with ROPS.
13. Keep the roller clean. Clean dirt and grease from the operator’s platform
without delay. Keep all signs and decals clean and clearly legible.
14. Safety measures before refueling:
– Stop the engine.
– Do not smoke.
– No naked flame in the vicinity.
– Ground the nozzle of the filling device against the tank to prevent sparks.
15. Before repairs or service:
– Place chocks against the drums/wheels and against the strike-off blade.
– Lock the articulation if required.
16. Hearing protectors are recommended if the noise level exceeds 85 dB(A).
The noise level may vary depending on what material the machine is oper-
ating on.
17. Make no changes or modifications on the roller that could affect safety.
Changes may only be made following written consent by Dynapac.
18. Avoid using the roller before the hydraulic fluid has reached its normal
working temperature. Remember that the braking distance will be longer if
the fluid is cold. See starting instructions in the OPERATION MANUAL.
WARNING

4CA 150 O150EN2
SAFETY WHEN DRIVING
Max 20°
or 36%
Driving near an edge
When you drive near an edge, at least two thirds of the
drum width must be on solid ground.
Remember that the machine’s center of
gravity is displaced outward when you
steer to one side. For example, it shifts to
the right when you steer to the left.
The ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure)
is always recommended when driving on
slopes or insecure ground.
Where possible, avoid all driving
across
a
slope. Instead, drive up and down on slop-
ing ground.
The tilting angle is measured on a hard, level surface
with the machine stationary, steering angle zero, vibra-
tion switched OFF and all tanks full. Remember that
loose ground, steering of the machine, vibration
switched ON, driving speed and raising the center of
gravity (for example, with accessories) may cause the
machine to topple even on a smaller slope than that
stated here.
To leave the cab in an emergency, release
the hammer located on the rear right post
and break the rear window.

Starting the engine
Set the forward/reverse lever (19) in neutral. The
engine cannot be started if the lever is in any other
position.
Set the amplitude selector (13) for Low/High vibration to
Omode.
Set the revs control (15) to idling mode.
Turn the starter switch (2) to the right to the starting
mode and release the knob immediately when the
engine starts.
Do not run the starter motor too long. If the
engine does not start immediately, wait a
minute or so before making a new attempt.
Warm up the engine for a few minutes with the rev
control in the idling mode, longer if the ambient
temperature is below +10°C (+50°F).
Check while warming up that the warning lamps for oil
pressure (9) and charging (7) are out. The warning
lamp (8) for the parking brake should still light.
When you start up and drive a cold machi-
ne, the hydraulic fluid is cold, and the
braking distance will be longer than normal
until the machine reaches normal working
temperature.
Ensure that ventilation (extraction) is
adequate if the engine is run indoors.
Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Turn the rev control (15) upward and latch it at its limit.
The engine speed should be about 2300 r/min.
Check that the steering is working by turning the
steering wheel once to the right and once to the left,
while the roller is stationary.
Ensure that the area in front of and behind
the roller is clear.
Pull up the reserve/parking brake knob (5)
and check that the warning lamp for the
parking brake is out. When starting the
roller on a slope, be prepared that it may
begin to roll.

Check occasionally while driving that no lamps light. If
the oil pressure lamp lights, stop the roller and the
engine immediately. Check and remedy any fault; see
also the maintenance manual and the engine manual.
If the warning lamp (11) for the air cleaner
lights during operation (at full engine revs), the
main filter must be cleaned or replaced; see
Maintenance Manual.
Set the High/Low speed selector (14) to the desired
mode (optional feature), see decal on the instrument
panel.
The high mode may only be used for trans-
port runs on an even surface.
Carefully move the forward/reverse lever (19) in the
desired direction of travel.
Speed increases as the lever is moved farther from the
neutral position.
Always regulate speed with the forward/
reverse lever and never by changing the
engine speed.
Check operation of the reserve/parking
brake by pressing the reserve/parking
brake knob (5) while the roller is running
slowly forward.
Under no circumstances may the machine
be operated from the outside. The operator
must remain seated inside the machine
during all operation.

DRIVING/VIBRATION
Engagement and disengagement of vibration is made
with the switch (18) on top of the forward/reverse lever.
Always switch off vibration before the roller comes to a
complete standstill.
Never allow vibration to be on when the roller
is stationary; this may damage the surface
and the machine.
Drum vibration can be set in two modes, selected using
the switch (13). Turn the knob to the left mode for low
amplitude, to the right mode for high amplitude.
Never alter the amplitude setting while the
vibration is running. Switch vibration off first
and wait until it has ceased before altering the
amplitude.
