  If your Wacker Neuson Construction Equipment roller operates erratically, several factors could be contributing to the issue. Start by checking the clutch for wear, damage, or loose fasteners. Next, verify the belt tension and replace any worn or damaged belts. Inspect the pulley mounts and tighten any loose set screws or mounting hardware. Examine the controls, linkages, and connections for faults. Grease or replace exciter bearings if they are binding. If gear case bearings are binding or gears are jammed, consider rebuilding the gear case. Check the transmission oil level and temperature if the hydrostatic transmission is faulty.
