The walk-behind tandem rollers are designed on a modular basis and feature a uniform design and a
common mode of operation.

The speed and direction controls allow for safe and easy operation.

These machines are equipped with diesel engines for greater torque at a lower fuel consumption
rate.

Walk-behind rollers are larger and heavier than vibratory plates and are most often used on jobs that
do not require the compaction forces found on the larger ride-on roller models.

DIESEL FUEL SPECIFICATION

If fuel is stored for a long time, foreign particles or water can collect in the fuel storage tank.
Many engine problems are caused by contaminated fuel. Store fuel outside and keep the
fuel as cool as possible. Drain water from the fuel storage tank at regular intervals.

NOTE: Paraffin crystals will start to form in fuel when the fuel temperature falls below the
fuel’s cloud point. These paraffin crystals will clog the fuel filter and cause the engine to stop
or lose power. At ambient temperatures above 32OF (0OC) use #2 diesel fuel. At temperature
below 32OF (0OC) use #1 diesel fuel.

Different brands of fuel can exhibit different properties. Make sure that the #2 diesel fuel you
use meets the following minimum requirements.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL
The Vibromax Model 70B offers an electric starter option. This option includes a battery,
starter, key switch, alternator, charge indicator light, engine oil pressure switch, and low oil
pressure indicator light.

UNDERSTANDING STARTERS
All starter motors function similarly and serve the same purpose on the engine.

A heavy cable connects the battery to a switch (1). When the switch is “ON”, current flows
from the battery, through the switch and to the starter (2). Current flows through the field coils
(3) and then to the armature (4) by means of insulated brushes (5). Current flows through the
armature coils and the ground brushes (6) to ground.
The current passing through the field and armature coils generates magnetic forces which op-
pose each other causing the armature to rotate.

Pre-engaged starters are used on most engines. They provide a positive engagement by not
allowing full battery power to the starter motor until the drive pinion is fully engaged into the
flywheel.

STARTER SOLENOID

A starter solenoid has two coils. They are the “hold-in coil” (1) which connects to ground, and
the “closing coil” (2) which is connected to ground through the starter motor windings.

When the switch is “ON”, current passes through the hold-in coil (1), creating a magnetic field
around the plunger (3). Current also passes through the closing coil (2), creating a second
field.

The current that flows from the closing coil into the starter motor windings causes the motor
to rotate slowly. The combined magnetic fields of the two coils causes the plunger to engage.
This moves the arm (4) causing engagement of the drive pinion into the flywheel.

2/25/2000 3-3
SM31001 - SECTION 3 ELECTRICAL

When the plunger (3) moves to full stroke and the drive pinion is fully engaged, the solenoid
contacts (5) are closed, allowing full power to the starter motor.

70B STARTING CIRCUIT FUNCTION

The key switch (S1) receives power from the battery (G1) at terminal #30. When the key
switch is turned to the “ON” position (first position), power is connected to terminals #15/54,
energizing all switch controlled components through a fuse (F1). The alternator indicator
light (H1) and the oil pressure indicator light (H2) will illuminate, indicating the key switch is
on but the engine is not running and there is no alternator output. The ground for alternator
indicator light (H1) is through the regulator (V1).

To start the machine the key switch is turned to the start position (second position) providing
a current path from the key switch (S1) terminal #50a to the starter motor (M1) terminal #50
on the starter solenoid. Note that the battery is connected to the starter motor (M1) at termi-
nal #30. With current to the starter solenoid, contacts within the solenoid close the connec-
tion to the battery causing the starter to turn.

When the engine is started the key switch is turned back to the first position removing cur-
rent to the starter. The alternator (G2) provides output current and the regulator (V1) pro-
vides 12 volts in place of ground. The alternator indicator light (H1) will extinguish as a result
of having 12 volts on each side of the lamp. Engine oil pressure will rise when the engine is
started. The oil pressure will open oil pressure switch (S2) removing the ground connection
and extinguishing the oil pressure indicator light (H2).

HYDRAULIC DESCRIPTION

The propulsion system on the Model 70B consists of a Sauer Sundstrand Series 15 variable
displacement piston pump primed by a built-in charge pump. The charge pump draws oil
from the hydraulic reservoir and feeds a regulated (7 bar / 100 psi) flow into the propulsion
system. The Series 15 cross-center piston pump then supplies flow into a Danfoss bi-direc-
tional hydraulic drive motor. Note that there is no relief valve in the drive system due to the
limited available engine horsepower. Pressure test ports MP1 and MP2 are located on the
propulsion pump for checking the drive system pressures. The drive motor rotates the front
and rear drums though a gear box built into the lower unit of the machine. The gear box will
be covered later in this book.

The vibration system consists of a Sauer Sundstrand fixed displacement gear pump driving
a single direction gear type motor attached to dual eccentric exciter shafts. A bypass valve is
mounted in a parallel flow path with the exciter shaft motor to control vibration “ON” and
“OFF”. Built into the bypass control valve is a 1700 psi (120 bar) relief valve which protects
the vibration system from over pressurization. The vibration system components are
matched to obtain a vibratory action of 55 Hz (3300 vibrations per minute).

CHARGE RELIEF
Connect a 300 psi (20 bar) pressure gauge to test point MP3 at the charge pump. With the
engine running at high idle and the system at normal operating temperature the pressure
must be 100 psi (7 bar).

The charge pressure relief valve is installed in the side of the drive pump housing. To reset
the charge pressure remove the plug and increase the number of shims to increase charge
pressure or decrease the number of shims to decrease charge pressure.

NOTE: If the drive system has extremely high amounts of internal leakage, adding
shims to the charge relief valve might not have an effect on the charge pressure.

VIBRATION VALVE
The vibration control (bypass) valve is located on the guide handle and is used to turn the
vibratory action “ON” and “OFF”. When vibration is “OFF” the oil flow will bypass the vibra-
tion motor and return to tank. To start vibratory operation the bypass valve is closed causing
the oil to flow through the hydraulic motor and back to tank.

A 1700 psi (120 bar) pressure relief is built into the vibration control (bypass) valve. To test
the pressure relief valve block the flow path through the vibration motor and install a pres-
sure gauge on test port MP4 at the vibration control valve. With the vibration control valve in
the vibratory operation position all flow will be across the pressure valve relief (see drawing
on the following page).

VIBRATION SYSTEM

The vibration system gear pump draws oil from the reservoir and pumps oil into the vibration
system. When control valve VB1 is opened the oil will take the path of least resistance and
return to the reservoir bypassing the vibration motor. When the vibration control valve is
manually turned to stop the oil from bypassing, all oil is directed through the vibration motor
which will turn the eccentric shaft and cause a vibratory motion of 3300 vibrations per
minute (55Hz). A relief valve is built into the vibration control valve to protect the system from
pressure overloads.

VIBRATORY SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

The vibration system consists of a Sauer Sundstrand fixed displacement gear pump driving
a single direction gear type motor attached to dual eccentric exciter shafts. A bypass valve is
mounted in a parallel flow path with the exciter shaft motor to control vibration “ON” and
“OFF”. Built into the bypass control valve is a 1700 psi (120 bar) relief valve which protects
the vibration system from over pressurization. The vibration system components are
matched to obtain a vibratory action of 55 Hz (3300 vibrations per minute).

Vibration frequency is related to the speed at which the vibration shaft is rotated and can be
measured with a frequency meter. Low frequency problems will normally show up as a rough
operating machine (often referred to as bucking).

VT9013 VT9012

Because the Model 70B vibration system is designed with a fixed displacement pump and
motor, low vibration frequency would normally be due to a low engine speed. However,
there are the possibilities that low vibration frequency could be caused by leakage at the
vibration control valve and worn pump or motor components.

If leakage at the control valve is suspected, a pressure test should be conducted to insure
that the system relief is properly set and that the system is not running at higher than normal
pressure due to vibratory shaft bearing problems (see next page).
