SAFETY USE
These machines are designed to carry out the function
of compacting material of the cohesive, bituminous and
granular varieties.
If used correctly they will provide an effective and safe
means of compaction and meet the appropriate
performance standards.
It is essential that the driver/operator of the machine is
adequately trained in its safe operation, be authorized to
drive it, and have sufficient knowledge of the machine
to ensure that it is in full working order before being put
to use.

CAUTION also calls attention to safety messages in this manual.

- 18 -
2. HEALTH & SAFETY Safety Precautions
•Never operate unit in a poorly ventilated or enclosed area.
•Avoid prolonged breathing of exhaust gases.
USE COMMON SENSE WHEN HANDLING FUELS
•Transport and handle fuel only when contained in approved safety
container.
•Do not smoke when refueling or during any other fuel handling
operation.
•Do not refuel while the engine is running or while it is still hot.
•If fuel is spilled during refueling, wipe it off from the engine
immediately and discard the rag in a safe place.
•Do not operate the equipment if fuel or oil leaks exist - repair
immediately.
•Never operate this equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
•EXPLOSION WARNING! Cigarettes, flames, or sparks could cause
battery to explode. Always shield eyes and face from battery. Do
not charge or use booster cables or adjust post connections without
proper instruction and training. KEEP VENT CAPS TIGHT AND
LEVEL.
•POISON WARNING! Battery contains sulfuric acid. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. In event of an accident, flush

- 19 -
2. HEALTH & SAFETY Safety Precautions
HOT SURFACES
•Avoid contact with hot exhaust systems and engines.
•Allow all components in the engine compartment to cool before
performing any service work.
•Hydraulic system produces high pressures - incorrect hose
replacement can cause serious personal injury. When performing
service, refer to Service/Parts Manual for hose identification and
connections.
•Caution: Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient
force to penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury.
•Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure from a very small hole can
be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for
possible leaks.
•Never use your hands to detect pressure leaks.
•Hydraulic tank temperature can reach 180 degrees F maximum.
•Never perform any work on the roller while it is running. Before
working on the roller, stop the engine and remove the ignition key to
prevent accidental starting, block drums to prevent rolling.
•Keep engine cover closed during the operation.
•Keep hands, clothing, and jewelry away from all moving parts.
•Keep all guards in place.
•Keep feet clear of all drums.
•Keep work area free of bystanders
•For foot protection, wear steel toe shoes or toe pads.
•Pressurized release of fluids from the hydraulic system can cause
serious burns.
•Shut off engine. Only remove filler cap when cool enough to touch
with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure
before removing completely.

- 20 -
2. HEALTH & SAFETY Safety Precautions
PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE
•Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep area clean
and dry.
•Never lubricate, service or adjust machine while it is moving.
Keep hands, feet, and clothing from power-driven parts. Disengage
all power and operate controls to relieve pressure. Lower
equipment to the ground. Stop the engine. Remove the key. Allow
machine to cool.
•Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for
service work.
•Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix
damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any
buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
•Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before making adjustments on
electrical systems or welding on machine.
PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES
•Be prepared if a fire starts.
•Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
•Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance service,
hospital, and fire department near your telephone.
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
•Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to
the job.
•Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of
hearing.
•Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs or
earplugs to protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud
noises.
•Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the
operator. Do not wear radio or music headphones while
operating machine.
