9.1 Daily Storage
• Do not allow the roller to sit overnight in a ditch, trench or other low-lying
area which might fill with water during a heavy rain.
• Park the roller on a flat level surface, out of the way of traffic patterns
and congestion.
• Chock the drums if the roller must be parked on an incline.
• Remove the key, lock the control panel cover and engine hood to pre-
vent tampering.
Note: Both the front and rear hoods, and access cover are equipped with
a locking ring (1) for use with a padlock if leaving the roller on the job
site.

• The SmartControl™ can be removed from the roller and stored sepa-
rately, if needed.
9.2 Long-term Storage
Extended storage of equipment requires preventive maintenance. Perform-
ing these steps helps to preserve machine components and ensures the ma-
chine will be ready for future use. While not all of these steps necessarily ap-
ply to this machine, the basic procedures remain the same.
When
Prepare the machine for extended storage if it will not be operated for
30days or more.
Preparing for storage
• Complete any needed repairs.
• Replenish or change oils (engine, exciter, hydraulic, and gearcase) per
the intervals specified in the Periodic Maintenance Schedule table. For
further information, see Maintenance on page 65.
• Grease all fittings and, if applicable, repack bearings.
• Inspect engine coolant. Replace coolant if it appears cloudy, is more
than two seasons old, or does not meet the average lowest temperature
for your area.
