FUTURE REFERENCE
One of Dynapac’s medium heavy vibratory soil compactors is the CA280.
It is available in a solely wheel-driven version and in a wheel-and-drum-driven version,
called CA280D.
All types of base courses and reinforcement courses can be compacted to considerable depth.
The cab and safety-related accessories are described in this manual.
Other optional items are described in separate instructions.

CONTENTS
Read the entire manual before starting any
service work.
Ensure that ventilation (extraction) is adequa-
te if the engine is run indoors.
It is essential that the machine is cared for in a proper
manner to ensure satisfactory operation. Keep the
machine clean to facilitate quick and timely detection of
any leakage, loose bolts and loose connections.
Make a habit each day, before starting up, of checking the
roller to detect any leakage or damage. Also check the
ground underneath the roller, where it is most often easier
to detect any leakage.
TAKE CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Do not leave behind any oil, fuel or other
substances that are detrimental to the
environment.
This manual contains instructions for periodic measures
that should normally be performed by the operator.
The manufacturer’s instructions noted in the
engine manual also apply. This is placed under a
separate flap in the roller’s product folder.

Observe caution if the filler cap must be
opened while the engine is hot.
NB. The engine must be switched off. Wear
gloves and safety goggles.

The filler cap (3) is accessible from the top of the
engine hood, see figure above.
Fill with coolant consisting of 50% water and 50%
antifreeze. See page 3 in these instructions and the
engine manual.
Change the coolant and flush the system
every other year. Ensure that air has free
passage through the radiator. To bleed the
system, run the engine warm and increase
speed to maximum revs, then switch off the
engine and top up to the correct level.

Observe caution. Beware of hot parts of
the engine and hot radiator when taking
out the oil dipstick. Wear gloves and safety
goggles.
The dipstick is on the right-hand side of the engine.
Pull the dipstick (1) up and check that the oil level is
between the upper and lower marks. See the engine
manual for further details.

Replace or clean the main filter of the air
cleaner when the warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel lights at full engine revs.
Release the three locking braces (1) and pull off the
cover (2) and take out the main filter (3).
Do not remove the backup filter (4).
Replace the backup filter with a new one after every
fifth replacement or cleaning of the main filter. The
secondary filter cannot be cleaned.
To change the backup filter (4), pull the old filter out of
its holder, insert a new one and reassemble the air
cleaner in the reverse order in relation to the
instructions in the figure above.

To clean the main filter, blow up and down along the
paper pleats with compressed air at maximum 5 bar
(72 psi) pressure.
Hold the nozzle at least 2–3 cm (0.8-1.2 in) from the
paper pleats to avoid tearing the paper.
Wear protective goggles when working
with compressed air.
Wipe the inside of the cover (2) and filter housing (5).
Check that the hose clamps between the filter
housing and suction hose are tight and that the
hoses are intact. Inspect all hoses all the way
to the engine.
Change the main filter at the latest after 5
cleanings.

Wipe the nipples clean from grease and dirt.
Grease the nipples (3 and 4) with five strokes of the
grease gun.
Turn the steering wheel fully to the right to gain access
to the forward grease nipple on the left steering cylinder
and the nipple on the bearing cover. Allow a little grease
to remain on the nipples after greasing. This will prevent
contamination from entering the nipples.
Wipe the nipples clean from grease and dirt.
Grease each nipple (1 and 2) with five strokes of the
grease gun. Ensure that grease penetrates the
bearings.
If grease does not penetrate the bearings, it
may be necessary to relieve the articulation
joint with a jack while repeating the greasing
process.

Tire pressure
Wheel nuts – Tightening Check the tire pressure with a pressure gauge.
Since the tires are filled with liquid, the air pressure
valve (1) must be set at ”12 o’clock” when you check
or pump air.
Tire pressure is noted under the heading Specifica-
tions.
Check both tires.
When you change the tires, it is important that
both tires have the same rolling radius, to
ensure proper operation of the anti-slip device
in the rear axle.
Check tightening torque of the wheel nuts (2) at 470
Nm (350 lbf.ft).
Check both wheels and all nuts.
(Applies only on new machine or newly fitted wheels.)
When pumping the tires, see the safety
manual that accompanies the roller.
Note: The tires are filled with liquid, so
they are heavier than normal.
