3.1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Stone
BULLDOG
®
! You've made an excellent choice!
Bulldog has been specifically designed as the ideal
machine for delivering relentless compacting power
over a wide variety of soils.
Bulldog's quad-roll design delivers serious
performance. Some of the features you'll benefit
from include: zero edge clearance, truly comfortable
controls that are at the right height, the right angle,
and for safety--automatically return to neutral when
released. There is an anti-crush safety bar that stops
the machine when pressure is applied, side and
vandal proof shields, electric start, and central lifting
eye as well as convenient tie-down points. These are
just a few of the features that will make your life
easier.
Bulldog's heavy duty shock mount system provides
exceptional vibration isolation for engine, hydraulic
pump and operator controls. The battery is double
isolated and foam padded from vibration for
extended life.
Stone offers two different machine widths, 24 inch
(607 mm) and 34 inch (864 mm). Each drum is
equipped with scraper bars to insure proper cleaning.
Upon receipt of your BULLDOG, CAREFULLY
CHECK FOR ANY FREIGHT DAMAGE. Any
damage should be immediately reported to the carrier
and a claim registered.
