RD 7 /... Safety Information
1.1 Operating Safety

Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the
machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel
can be dangerous. Read the operating instructions contained in both
WARNING this manual and the engine manual and familiarize yourself with the
location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should
receive instruction from someone familiar with the machine before
being allowed to operate it.
1.1.1 ALWAYS operate the machine with all safety devices and guards in
place and in working order.
1.1.2 ALWAYS check that all controls are functioning properly immediately
after start-up! DO NOT operate the machine unless all controls operate
correctly.
1.1.3 ALWAYS remain aware of changing surface conditions and use extra
care when operating over uneven ground, on hills, or over soft or
coarse material. The machine could shift or slide unexpectedly.
1.1.4 ALWAYS remain aware of changing positions and the movement of
other equipment and personnel on the job site.
1.1.5 ALWAYS use caution when operating near the edges of pits, trenches
or platforms. Check to be sure that the ground surface is stable enough
to support the weight of the machine with the operator and that there
is no danger of the roller sliding, falling, or tipping.
1.1.6 ALWAYS position yourself safely when operating machine in reverse
or on hills. Leave enough space between yourself and the machine so
you will not be placed in a hazardous position should the machine slide
or tip.
1.1.7 ALWAYS operate the machine with both of your feet on the ground!
DO NOT stand, sit, or ride on machine while in operation.
1.1.8 ALWAYS remain aware of moving parts and keep hands, feet, and
loose clothing away from the moving parts of the machine.

3.7 Engine Speed

During operation, run the engine at full throttle (2800 rpm). This
ensures maximum exciter speed and will produce the best
compaction.

3.8 Stopping the Machine

See Graphic: wc_gr001529


3.8.1 Place the exciter switch (a) in the OFF position.
3.8.2 Close the water control valve.
3.8.3 Push the throttle control (b) to the minimum position to stop the engine.
3.8.4 On electric start machines, turn the engine switch (c) to the OFF
position.
3.8.5 Apply the parking brake.
3.8.6 Clean the scraper bars before storing the machine.
NOTICE: Should the engine ever speed out of control and not stop by
using the throttle control, pulling up on the decompression lever, which
could be hot to the touch, will stop the engine.

RD 7 /... Operation
3.9 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.
WARNING
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
WARNING this occurring, the throttle (b1) must be pushed in to stop the engine.

3.10 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.

3.13 Parking Brake

See Graphic: wc_gr001343


The parking brake is used to ensure that the machine will not roll when
not in use. It engages the weld stops on the drum, therefore a small
amount of movement is possible before the brake will catch and stop
the machine.
To disengage the parking brake:
Rotate the handle (a) 90° clockwise and bring it to rest in a shallow
detent.
To engage the parking brake:
Rotate the handle (a) 90° counterclockwise and allow it to rest in the

wc_gr001346 wc_gr001347

3.16 Rollovers

Proper operation of the machine on slopes will prevent rollovers. Read


and follow Safety instructions in “Operating Safety” and “Operation on
Slopes”. If a machine rollover does occur, care must be taken to
prevent damage to the engine. In this position, oil from the engine
crankcase can flow into the combustion chamber, which can severely
damage the engine next time it is started. If the machine has rolled on
its side, immediate steps should be taken to right the machine.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to the engine after a rollover, the
machine must NOT be started, AND it must be serviced to remove any
oil that may have been trapped in the combustion chambers. Contact
your local Wacker dealer for instructions or servicing.

4.10 Hydraulic Oil Requirements

Wacker recommends the use of a premium grade, petroleum-based


hydraulic oil with anti-wear and anti-foam characteristics. Good anti-
wear oils contain additives to reduce oxidation, prevent foaming, and
provide for good water separation. These oils offer superior motor and
pump life.
When selecting hydraulic oil for your machine, be sure to specify anti-
wear properties. Wacker offers a premium grade hydraulic oil for use
in this machine.
• Wacker Hydraulic Oil - P/N 85094
Avoid mixing different brands and grades of hydraulic oils.
Oil Viscosity
Most hydraulic oils are available in different viscosities. The SAE
number for an oil is used strictly to identify viscosity. It does not indicate
the type of oil (engine, hydraulic, gear, etc.). The higher the SAE
number, the thicker the oil.
For normal applications use a good non-detergent, anti-wear,
hydraulic oil with a viscosity rating of SAE 10W30.

6.1 Hydraulic System Precautions


Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure, even a pinhole size leak, can
penetrate body tissue, causing serious injury, and possible death. If oil
WARNING is injected into your skin, you must be treated immediately by a doctor
familiar with this kind of injury.

• Always use a board or cardboard when checking for hydraulic oil


leaks.
• Relieve the hydraulic pressure before working on the machine.
• Personal injury can result from contact with hot hydraulic oil.
• Use extreme care and wear appropriate clothing, such as gloves
and safety glasses, when working with hot hydraulic oil.

6.2 Hydraulic System Service Basics

Many hydraulic system problems may be rectified by basic service and


maintenance tasks. Before attempting in-depth service procedures,
carry out the basic hydraulic service procedures listed below.
• Top off the hydraulic oil supply with the correct type and grade of
oil.
• Clean and tighten all the hydraulic fittings. Check the hoses for
holes and/or leaks. Air within the hydraulic system can greatly
affect machine performance.
• Check/change the hydraulic filter. Particles and debris in the filter
are signs of failing component(s). Change the hydraulic oil and
clean all components if there is debris found in the filter. Locate
and replace the failing component(s) before operating the
machine.
• Carry out hydraulic tests with the machine/hydraulic oil warm.
Start and operate the machine at high idle for several minutes
before conducting troubleshooting procedures. The hydraulic oil
should be between 37.4–48.6°C (100–120°F).

RD 7 /... Repair Hydraulic System
6.3 Analyzing Hydraulic Oil Contamination

If the hydraulic oil becomes contaminated, premature component


failure could occur. Contaminated oil can also contribute to
overheating. When inspecting the hydraulic oil filter for contamination,
the type of contamination can help determine the probable cause of
problems.
• Bronze colored particles suggest a pump or motor port plate
failure.
• Shiny steel particles suggest pump or motor piston failure.
• Rubber particles indicate a seal failure or a hose failure.
• Aluminum particles suggest a steering and/or charge pump
failure.
If any particles are found in the hydraulic filter element, all components
of the hydraulic oil system must be cleaned. Do not use any damaged
components. Remove the damaged components and replace them
with new ones.

6.4 General Description

See Graphic: wc_gr001503


The hydraulic system is powered by two pumps mounted in tandem
and driven directly by the engine crankshaft through a flex coupling.
Internal relief valves within the drive pump protect the drive motors and
components of the drive system.
A relief valve (1) is located on the vibration manifold block.
The hydraulic system is protected by a return line filter which removes
particles down to 10 microns and includes a by-pass relief valve to aid
in cold weather start-up and to protect the system, should the filter be
clogged.
The hydraulic tank is equipped with a strainer at the fill port to trap large
objects or particles which may accidentally fall into the tank when
adding hydraulic fluid. Additional system protection is provided by a
suction filter mounted in-line with the exciter pump inlet.

6.5 Vibration Circuit

See Graphic: wc_gr001503


The vibration system is an open-loop series circuit driven by a fixed
displacement, gear-type pump. Components of the vibration circuit
include: the gear-type pump, a manifold block, a 3000-psi relief valve,
a control valve, and the exciter motor.
The vibration circuit is controlled by the exciter control valve. This valve
is operated by an ON/OFF lever located on the handle. Supply oil from
the pump enters the manifold where it is directed to the exciter control
valve. When the lever is in the OFF position, the exciter control valve
is open, allowing oil to pass through the system without driving the
exciter motor. When switched to the ON position, the exciter control
valve closes and oil from the pump is directed to the exciter motor
which drives the eccentric weight between the drums. The relief valve
(1), connected to the manifold, limits system pressure to 3000 psi (206
bar).

6.7 Drive Circuit

The drive system is a closed-loop circuit consisting of: a drive pump, a


manifold, two relief valves, and front and rear drive motors arranged in
series. Both drive motors rotate at the same speed.
The drive pump is a variable displacement, piston-type pump with an
integral charge pump. Charge pressure is maintained at 100 psi (7 bar)
through an internal relief valve.
The drive pump is manually actuated by the control lever mounted to
the end of the handle. When the control lever is shifted forward, oil is
directed from the high-pressure side of the drive pump to the manifold
block, and downstream to both the front and rear drive motors. Return
flow from the drive motors is directed back through the manifold and
returns to the low-pressure side of the drive pump.
When operating in reverse, the high- and low-pressure sides of the
drive pump are reversed.
System pressure is limited to 2900 psi (200 bar) by two relief valves in
the drive pump.

6.8 Return Line Filter

The oil returning from the vibration function is directed out of the
manifold to a return line filter. A back pressure valve located at the
return line filter is used to protect the system. When pressure from the
exciter circuit exceeds 14.5 psi (1 bar), the valve opens and the oil
flows directly to the tank.

6.9 Bleeding the Hydraulic System

See Graphic: wc_gr001504


6.9.1 Fill the hydraulic system with clean hydraulic oil until it is visible in the
sightglass. Do not reuse used hydraulic oil.
6.9.2 Disconnect the line (1) from drive pump. Fill the pump case with
hydraulic oil through the open connection. Reconnect the line.
6.9.3 Start the engine and run the machine at full throttle. Move the control
slowly back and forth from forward to reverse for a short time to bleed
air trapped in the drive circuit.
6.9.4 Check the hydraulic oil level and add oil as required.
Note: If the drive pump chatters or operation is noisy, turn the machine
off and check for air leaks in the inlet line of the charge pump.

6.12 Testing Hydraulic Pressures

Before making pressure checks:


6.12.1 Inspect the machine for hydraulic leaks.
6.12.2 Check the level of hydraulic oil in the tank.
6.12.3 Check the engine operating speed at full throttle.
6.12.4 Run the machine for 5-10 minutes before testing to allow time for the
hydraulic system to warm up.
Note: There are no designated test ports on the hydraulic block. Use
pressure fittings and adapters designed for use with Wacker hydraulic
test equipment.
Before opening the hydraulic connections, shut the engine off and
make sure all controls are in neutral.
WARNING

6.13 Checking the Vibration Circuit

See Graphic: wc_gr001505


Test the vibration circuit with the machine on soil or gravel. If testing is
done indoors, position the machine on a heavy mat or old tires to
absorb the vibration.
NOTICE: Do not run vibration on concrete.
6.13.1 Remove the vibration pressure line (1) from the hydraulic manifold (2).
6.13.2 Install a #6 T-fitting (f) and a test fitting (d) into the manifold. Install a
5000 psi gauge (a) to the test fitting.
6.13.3 Start the engine and run the machine at full throttle with the forward/
reverse control in neutral.
6.13.4 Switch the vibration on. The gauge will read relief pressure
momentarily as the exciter starts and then will fall to normal operating
pressure as the exciter reaches full speed.
If it is not possible to read the relief valve pressure accurately,
disconnect the exciter motor inlet line (3) on the manifold. Cap off and
plug open line connections both on the manifold and on the line. Start
the engine and run the test. If the pump is in working condition, the
gauge will immediately come up to relief valve pressure and remain
there.

7. Power Take-Off

7.1 Description

See Graphic: wc_gr001509


The pumps used to power the hydraulic system are driven directly by
the engine through a flywheel coupling or a clutch (1), depending on
the age of the machine. The pumps are connected along their shafts
through a solid mounted coupling (2).
The exciter pump (3) is a fixed displacement, gear-type pump. It
provides a constant flow of oil to the vibration circuit. A constant flow
of oil equates to a constant speed.
The drive pump (4) is a variable displacement, axial piston pump. A
variable flow of oil equates to a variable travel speed. The more flow
there is, the faster the travel speed. Flow through the drive pump is
controlled by the angle of the pump’s swash plate. The pump’s swash
plate is controlled through the movement of a lever attached to the
pump’s control shaft (5). This provides for infinitely variable speeds
between 0 (zero) and the top speed of 4.0 km/hr. (2.5 mph) forward,
and 2.0 km/hr. (1.2 mph) reverse.
Note: Wacker Corporation does not recommend the disassembly or
attempted repair of hydraulic components (pumps, motors) by anyone
other than a trained hydraulic repair technician. Repair and rebuilding
of hydraulic components may be available from component
manufacturers. Hydraulic component parts are not available from

wc_tx000354gb.fm 101
Troubleshooting RD 7 /... Repair
9.3 Troubleshooting the Vibration System

The exciter pump is designed to put out a constant flow of oil at a set
engine speed. This ensures that the vibration frequency remains
steady. When troubleshooting the exciter circuit, the vibration speed
should be measured along with the operating and relief pressures to
help determine the cause of any problems.
To measure vibration speed:
9.3.1 Start the machine and run it for several minutes to bring hydraulic oil
up to normal operating temperatures.
9.3.2 Check the engine rpm using a tachometer. The engine must be
running at the correct rpm to accurately measure vibration.
9.3.3 Position the roller on a rubber mat and start vibration. Hold the
vibrotach (P/N 53397) against the outer rim on the drum and measure
the vibration speed.

Engine rpm vpm minimum


2700–2900 3300

9.3.4 The vibration speed along with the operating and relief valve pressures
can be used to determine the condition of the exciter system as shown
in the chart below.
If the exciter is binding (causing high operating pressures), it will be
necessary to disconnect and remove the exciter motor from the
housing to determine if the binding is occurring in the exciter bearings
or in the motor. Turn the motor shaft and exciter shaft by hand and
check that they turn freely.

9.5 Troubleshooting the Drive System

See Graphic: wc_gr003669


Checking for binding
High operating pressures indicate binding in the drive system. Binding
can occur in the drive motor or may be the result of a poor or failing
drive bearing located on the right side of the drum.
To check for binding:
9.5.1 Stop the machine, apply the parking brake, and switch off the machine.
9.5.2 Remove the drum. See section Replacing the Drum.
9.5.3 Attempt to lift the drum by the drum support (1). If a metallic click or
clang can be heard and there is any play in the bearing, the bearing is
failing; replace it.
9.5.4 Remove the drive motor (2) from the drum support.
NOTICE: When removing the drive motor, care must be taken to
ensure that the splined shaft does not separate from the inside of the
motor.
9.5.5 Attempt to turn the drum hub by hand. If you cannot turn the drum hub
by hand, the bearing is binding; replace it.
9.5.6 Attempt to turn the drive motor shaft by hand. If the drive motor shaft
binds, rebuild or replace the drive motor.

Checking Drive Motors
Failure of the drive circuit to reach operating pressures is normally
caused by a worn or damaged drive pump, although the problem could
also be the result of a badly worn motor.
To check drive motor operation:
9.5.7 Stop the machine, apply the parking brake, and switch off the machine.

The lifting devices must have the capacity of at least 650 kg (1430
lbs.).
WARNING
NOTICE: Use only the lifting eye of the roller to lift the machine. Using
any other part of the machine may severely damage the machine.
9.5.8 Lift the machine so that the drums are 12 mm (0.5 in.) off the ground.

9.5.9 Place a reference mark on each drum with tape or chalk.
9.5.10 Start the engine.
9.5.11 Place the direction lever in the full FORWARD position. Count the
revolutions of each drum as they spin. Look for a significant difference
in the speed of one drum over the other. Conduct the same test in with
the direction lever in the full REVERSE position. If one drum spins
faster than the other in both directions, the motor spinning the slow
drum may have failed.
By checking the flow from the drive motor case drain hoses, one can
tell if the drive motor seals are functioning. When new, the drive motors
will let pass a very slow drip.
9.5.12 Position the machine so that the front drum is up against an abutment,
such as a brick wall or concrete barricade.
9.5.13 Turn off the engine and disconnect the drain line from the front drive
motor.
9.5.14 Position the hose from the front drive motor into a graduated container.
9.5.15 Start the engine. With the throttle at full and the direction control lever
in the full FORWARD position, collect all the oil that drains from the
drive motor over a one-minute time period.
• If the drive motor drains approximately 40 ml (1.3 oz.) of hydraulic
oil per minute or less, it is operating properly.
• If the drive motor drains 80 ml (2.6 oz.) or more of hydraulic oil
per minute, it has failed; rebuild or replace the drive motor.
9.5.16 Test the rear drive motor in a similar fashion: Position the machine so
that the rear drum is up against an abutment such as a brick wall or
concrete barricade.
9.5.17 With the throttle at full and the forward/reverse control lever in the full
REVERSE position, collect all oil that drains from the drive motor over
a one-minute time period.

Threadlockers and Sealants
Threadlockers and Sealants

Threadlocking adhesives and sealants are specified throughout this


manual by a notation of “S” plus a number (S#) and should be used
where indicated. Threadlocking compounds normally break down at
temperatures above 175°C (350°F). If a screw or bolt is hard to
remove, heat it using a small propane torch to break down the sealant.
When applying sealants, follow instructions on container. The sealants
listed are recommended for use on Wacker equipment.
