1.2 Machine Description and Intended use
This machine is a dual drum vibratory walk-behind roller. The Wacker
Neuson Walk-Behind Roller consists of an upper frame to which are
mounted a diesel engine, a hydraulic tank, a water tank, and a
hydrostatic drive system, and a lower frame which supports two steel
drums, an exciter assembly, and a handle. The engine powers the
hydraulics that provide machine movement and drum vibration. The
vibrating drums smooth and compact the work surface as the
machine moves. The operator uses the handle to control machine
speed and direction.
This machine is intended to be used for compacting sand, gravel, soil,
and asphalt on roadways, walkways, bridges, and parking lots.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use
described above. Using the machine for any other purpose could
permanently damage the machine or seriously injure the operator or
other persons in the area. Machine damage caused by misuse is not
covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
• Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
• Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
• Using the machine to tow other machines
• Using the machine to spray liquids other than water (i.e., diesel fuel
on asphalt)
• Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
• Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings
found on the machine and in the Operator’s Manual.
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the
latest global safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to
eliminate hazards as far as practicable and to increase operator
safety through protective guards and labeling. However, some risks
may remain even after protective measures have been taken. They
are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure
to:
• Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine
• Burns from hot hydraulic fluid
• Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
• Fuel and its fumes
• Personal injury from improper lifting techniques or operating tech-
