Exterior Surfaces ∎ Hydraulic System Drum or Wheels

Regular visual inspection is a fundamental part of the Roller Maintenance , ensuring your roller remains in top condition and operates efficiently. It helps identify potential issues before they escalate, saving time and money on repairs

Look for signs of dirt, debris or residue buildup.

Ensure the exterior is clean and free from obstructions

Motor and Fluid Levels

Check the engine oil level and add oil if needed. Inspect the coolant level and top up if necessary. Verify the fuel level to ensure there is enough for daily operations.

Examine the air filter and clean or replace it as required. Ensure smooth operation without interruptions or irregularities

Hydraulic System Drum or Wheels

Check hydraulic fluid levels and add fluid if necessary.

Inspect hydraulic lines and cylinders for leaks or damage.

Test the hydraulic system for proper operation

Ensure drums or wheels are clean and free from obstructions.

Check scraper bars (if applicable) for wear and proper adjustment.

Water Spray System

Ensure nozzles are clear and functional.

The water spray system helps prevent asphalt from sticking to the roller. Regular checks ensure effective operation and minimize maintenance issues

Emergency Stop Button

Test the emergency stop button to ensure it functions correctly.

Verify that it immediately halts all roller operations when activated.

Guarding and Shields

Inspect all guarding and shields to ensure they are securely in place.

Ensure they adequately cover moving parts to prevent accidents.

Proper guarding and shields protect operators from injuries caused by moving parts. Frequent inspections ensure compliance with safety standards and enhances equipment safety.

Safety Sensors and Indicators
