RD 12A Operationwc_tx001071gb.fm 454.23 Direction and SpeedSee Graphic: wc_gr002953The forward/reverse control (15) controls both the direction and speedof the roller. Use the control lever, rather than the throttle, to control thespeed of the machine while compacting.Speed is controlled by the amount the lever is moved in the directionof travel—forward or reverse.During operation, to run the machine at full throttle, press and releasethe upper half of the throttle switch (HIGH) (54). This ensuresmaximum travel speeds and will produce the best compaction results.Operating the machine at slower engine speeds will reducecompaction, slow down machine functions, and damage hydrauliccomponents.
