2.1 Laws Pertaining to Spark Arresters
Notice: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes

specify that in certain locations spark arresters be used on internal
combustion engines that use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a
device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames
from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified and rated by
the United States Forest Service for this purpose.
In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult
the engine distributor or the local Health and Safety Administrator.

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.

5.9 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 fluid 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 fluids.
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.
5.10 Hydraulic Oil Level

A hydraulic oil level sightglass (a) is located on the hydraulic tank and
is visible through the slots on the top cover.
Check the oil level with the machine standing on a level surface. The
oil level should be at the halfway mark on the sightglass. If the level is
low, remove the top cover and top up with hydraulic oil as necessary.
If hydraulic oil continually needs to be added, inspect hoses and
connections for possible leaks. Repair hydraulic leaks immediately to
prevent damage to hydraulic components.

Hydraulic System RD 7 /... Repair
7. Hydraulic System
7.1 General Description
The hydraulic system is powered by two pumps mounted in tandem

and driven directly by the engine crankshaft through a flex coupling.
A single relief valve (1) is located on the manifold block.
The hydraulic system is protected by a return line filter which
removes particles down to 10 microns and includes a by-pass for cold
weather start-up.
A back pressure valve, located after the filter, maintains 14.5 psi (0.1
mPa) to the inlet side of the charge pump and ensures positive flow to
the drive pump to prevent cavitation.
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 while
adding hydraulic fluid. Additional system protection is provided by a
suction filter mounted inline with the exciter pump inlet.
7.2 Vibration

The vibration system is an open loop series circuit, driven by a fixed
displacement gear type pump. It includes separate relief valves for
vibration, an exciter control valve, and 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 “ON” the exciter control valve closes
and directs oil from the pump, out of the manifold, to the exciter motor
which drives the eccentric weight between the drums. A relief valve (1),
connected to the manifold, limits system pressure to 2000 psi (13.8
mPa).

wc_tx000351gb.fm 51
7.4 Drive Circuit
The drive system is a closed loop circuit, consisting of a drive pump,

relief valve, and front and rear drive motors arranged in series. They
will drive at the same speed.
The drive pump is a variable displacement, piston type pump with an
integral charge pump. Charge pressure is maintained between 150–
210 psi (1.0–1.5 mPa) through an internal relief valve. Excess charge
pump flow is returned directly to tank.
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 pump to the manifold block,
and downstream to both the front and rear drive motors. Return flow
from the 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 (20 mPa) by two relief valves in
the drive pump.
7.5 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 after the
filter is used to maintain 14.5 psi (0.1 mPa) to the inlet side of the
charge pump to supply the drive circuit. When pressure to the inlet of
the charge pump exceeds 14.5 psi the valve opens and returns the
excess flow back to the tank.

7.6 Bleeding the Hydraulic System

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

Relief valves are preset at the factory and normally do not require
further adjustment. Any valve adjustment is done by shims. However,
adjusting relief valves is not recommended, as shims are not spare
parts. Replace complete relief valve.
CAUTION: Do not increase pressures above machine specifications!
Higher pressures can damage pumps and motors.
Drive Circuit Reliefs
Current machines have relief valves built into the drive pump (1).
These reliefs are preset at 2900 psi (200 bar) and do not require further
adjustment unless operating at below the recommended setting.

7.13 Troubleshooting 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:
7.13.1 Start machine and run it for several minutes to bring hydraulic fluid up
to normal operating temperatures.
7.13.2 Check engine RPM using a tachometer. The engine must be running
at the correct RPM to accurately measure vibration.
7.13.3 Position roller on a rubber mat and start vibration. Hold vibrotach (P/N
53397) against outer rim on drum and measure vibration speed.
Minimum
Engine RPM
Vibration Speed
2700–2900 3300
7.13.4 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 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 the motor. Turn motor shaft and exciter shaft by hand and check that
they turn freely.

wc_tx000351gb.fm 61
7.14 Troubleshooting Drive System

Stop the machine, apply the parking brake and switch off the machine.
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 in the drive motor:
7.14.1 Tag and disconnect hydraulic lines to drive motor. Cap or plug all open
connections. For recommended caps or plugs, see Repair
Accessories.
Before dismantling hydraulic connectors or hoses, ensure that all

pressure has been relieved from the circuit. Open hose fittings slowly.
WARNING
Note: In the interests of environmental protection, place a plastic sheet
and a container under the machine to collect the liquid which drains off
and dispose of properly.
7.14.2 Remove four screws (1) mounting porting block (2) to lower frame.
Tag, disconnect, and cap three upper hydraulic lines (3) from porting
block.
7.14.3 Support the machine before separating drum from frame by attaching
a sling or chain to the lifting eye (4) using a suitable hook or shackle.
Each lifting device must have capacity of at least 1430 lbs (650 Kg).
Only use slings or chains for hoisting. The sling or chain must have the
suitable specified lifting capacity. Do not use improvised slings or
WARNING chains.
CAUTION: Never use any other part of the roller to lift the machine, as
severe damage may occur.
7.14.4 Remove six screws (5) mounting drum support to frame. Remove
drum out from frame.
Do not stand under the machine while it is being hoisted or moved.
WARNING
Note: 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. Questions
regarding testing and troubleshooting of drive component failures
should be referred to Wacker Corporation.

8. Power Take-Off
8.1 Description

The pumps used to power the hydraulic system are driven directly by
the engine through a flywheel coupling or clutch (1). The pumps are
connected along their shafts through a solid mounted coupling (2).
The exciter pump (3) is a fixed displacement gear type pump and
provides a constant flow of oil to operate the vibration circuit.
The drive pump (4) is a variable displacement axial piston pump. Flow
through this pump is controlled by varying its displacement through the
movement of a lever attached to its control shaft (5). This allows a full
range of operating speeds in both forward and 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

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 below are recommended for use on Wacker equipment.
