The provided document is an Operator's Manual for a JCB Roller, specifically models JCB116, JCB116D, and JCB116DD. This manual, identified as EN - 9831/4600 ISSUE 3 - 09/2017, is intended to stay with the machine and provides comprehensive information for its safe and effective operation and maintenance.
The JCB116 machine is described as a self-propelled, vibratory single drum roller powered by a 4-cylinder diesel engine. Its primary function is to compact various soil types, ranging from stones to silty sand, and asphalt construction materials. This compaction can be performed in both forward and reverse directions, with or without vibration. Applications include road and pavement construction, sub-soil compaction, and similar tasks.
The machine utilizes a hydrostatic drive system, enabling infinitely variable travel speeds. A spring-on, pressure-off brake system is integrated into the drive motor, engaging when the machine is in neutral. The drive motor hoses are protected within steel frame plates. An articulated steering system provides a tight turning radius, enhancing maneuverability. Two scrapers are mounted on the machine to assist in its operation. The hydraulic system is also responsible for turning the machine's vibratory shaft, which is designed with an overturning weight system.
The manual covers a range of technical data, including static dimensions (dimensions and weights), performance dimensions (general and driving performance), noise emissions (general and noise data), and vibration emissions (general and vibration data). It also details fluids, lubricants, and capacities (general, fuel, and coolant), torque values (general), and electrical system components (general, bulbs, fuses, and relays). Engine specifications are also included.
The machine is designed for compacting soil types with water contents ranging from 40% to 110% of the optimum water content, in accordance with the standard Proctor test DIN 18127. Fine-grained soils or soils with higher water contents may require qualified trial compaction. The manual specifies permissible gradients for operation, emphasizing that driving on gradients greater than the permissible limit is not allowed.
The manual stresses the importance of understanding the machine's controls, safety warnings, and operating procedures before use. It covers various aspects of operation, including:
The manual explicitly states that the machine is not intended for use in ways that exceed its permissible gradient, cause wheel/drum spin or skidding on gradients, involve vibrating travel on blocks/rocks/concrete/frozen soil, or in the vicinity of buildings if it could cause damage. It also warns against earth-moving with the pusher blade lowered or operating from outside the operator's seat.
The manual provides extensive information on maintaining the JCB Roller to ensure its longevity and safe operation:
The manual emphasizes that the manufacturer reserves the right to change machine specifications without notice due to continuous improvement. It also warns against altering the machine in any way that could affect or invalidate its compliance with legislative requirements.
