4.12 Direction and Speed Control
See Graphic: wc_gr001341
Travel direction and speed are controlled by the movable lever (a)
inside the handle. From the neutral position, the handle is pushed
away from the operator to travel forward, and towards the operator to
travel in reverse.
Keep both hands on the handle while operating the machine. The
handle may pivot rapidly while in operation and cause injury.
Speed is varied by the movement of the lever; the farther the lever is
pushed in either direction, the faster the roller will travel in that
direction.
If the linkage separates from the directional lever while the machine is
running, the roller could “run away” and cause injury. In the event of
this occurring, the throttle (b1) must be pushed in to stop the engine.
4.13 Exciter
The exciter provides the vibration and can be used in most applications
involving cohesive-type soils with heavy clay content, as well as loose
soils and gravel.
NOTICE: DO NOT run the machine over hard surfaces like concrete
or compacted asphalt with the vibration on. Damage to the drum
bearings may result.
