MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
Observe the maintenance, inspection and
adjustments, and intervals specified in the operating
instructions, as well as the information for part
replacement.
Maintenance wor must be underta en by only
qualified and authorized persons.
Maintenance and repairs must only be underta en
with the drive stationary.
Only carry out maintenance and repairs when
machine is par ed on a firm and even surface and is
secured to prevent it from rolling.
When changing larger assemblies and individual
components, only use suitable and perfectly
functioning hoisting and lifting gear with suitable
bearing capacity. Attach and secure parts to lifting
gear carefully.
Spare parts must comply with the technical
requirements of the manufacturer. Therefore only
use original spare parts.
Before wor ing on hydraulic lines, these must
previously be rendered pressureless. Hydraulic oil
discharging under pressure can cause serious injuries.
Only persons with a special nowledge of hydraulics
and the necessary experience must underta e wor
on hydraulic devices.
Do not adjust pressure relief valves.
Drain hydraulic oil at operating temperature.
Caution: Ris of scalding!
Collect discharging hydraulic oil and dispose of the
same in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Do not start the engine with hydraulic oil drained.
After completing all wor (with the system still
pressureless), inspect all connections and bolted
connections for lea s.
Inspect all hoses and bolted connections for lea s and
externally visible damage at regular intervals.
Rectify any damage immediately.
Replace externally damaged hydraulic hose lines at
regular intervals (depending on time used), even
when no safety-relevant faults are visible.
Inspect the electrical equipment of the machine at
regular intervals. Faults such as loose connections or
worn/scorched cables must be repaired immediately.
Properly refit and inspect all protective devices after
maintenance and repairs.
TESTIN
Road rollers, trench rollers, and vibrating plates must
be tested for safety by an expert depending on the
particular application and operating conditions as
required, however at least once a year.
ENERAL NOTES
Careful maintenance:
ØIncreased service life
ØIncreased function
ØReduced downtimes
ØIncreased reliability
ØReduced repair costs
Observe the safety regulations.
Maintenance wor should only be performed
when the engine is shut off.
The engine and machine should be cleaned
thoroughly before carrying out maintenance
wor .
Par the machine on a flat surface and secure
it against rolling away and slipping.
Ensure that operating materials and replaced
parts are disposed of safely and in an
environmentally friendly way.

- 19 -
MAINTENANCE RP652
Before commencing wor on any electrical
equipment, disconnect the battery and cover
it with insulating materials.
Do not confuse PLUS and MINUS poles
on the battery.
It is essential that short-circuits be prevented
in cables carrying currents.
Burnt-out light bulbs in indicator lamps
should be replaced immediately.
When cleaning the machine with a high-
pressure water jet, do not spray the electrical
components directly.
After washing the components, blow-dry
them with compressed air in order to prevent
surface lea age current and corrosion.
