Service And Maintenance - PACLITE Equipment VR800D Manuel De L'opérateur

Operation
Having carried out the checks listed in the 'pre start' section, you may start the engine.
•
The Paclite VR-Rollers are fitted with a centrifugal clutch; this allows the engine to run at idle
without driving the Hydraulic Pump.
•
As the engine speed is increased the clutch will engage and the engine will drive the Hydraulic
Pump to send the hydraulic power to drive the drums, and to drive the vibration mechanism as
well. To avoid any damage to the centrifugal clutch, move the throttle lever quickly from L to H
position. For correct operation, the engine speed should be set to maximum during the
compaction operation.
•
Avoid operating the machine on a fully compacted, hard, or non-yielding surface. Otherwise, the
bearings and other mechanical components will be damaged, and the life of the machine will be
greatly reduced.
•
When working on a steep slope, take extra care in operating the machine so that the machine
may tip over or fall down. Always work up or down the slope. Do not work across the slope.
•
When the machine is going reverse, make sure not to stand behind the Operation Handle. Always
walk along the Operation Handle and face toward the direction of travel.
Lifting
Where it is necessary to use lifting equipment to position the VR-Roller, make sure the lifting
equipment has a WLL (Working Load Limit) suitable for the machine's weight (see Technical Data or
the machine number plate). Attach suitable chains or slings ONLY to the lifting point provided at the
center of the machine (One-Point Hook) or at each corner of the machine (Lifting Eyes).

Service and Maintenance

Maintenance
The Paclite VR Rollers are designed to give many years of trouble free operation. It is, however,
important that the simple regular maintenance listed in this section is carried out. It is recommended
that an approved Paclite dealer carry out all major maintenance and repairs. Always use genuine
Paclite replacement parts, the use of spurious parts may void your warranty.
Before any maintenance is carried out on the machine, switch off the engine and disconnect the HT
lead from the spark plug. Always set the machine on level ground to ensure any fluid levels will be
correctly read. Only use recommended oils. Make sure that the Operation Handle is securely locked
during the maintenance and/or repairs.
