A Handy Guide to Maintaining Your Hamm 311D Roller in Top Condition!
Just like the human body, Hamm rollers and all construction equipment need proper operation and rest to function optimally and have a long lifespan. Neglecting this can lead to decreased efficiency, wasted time, and financial losses.
Discover this helpful guide to "care" for your Hamm 311D roller, ensuring it always operates in peak condition!
SAFE START, EFFICIENT OPERATION
Before "awakening" the power of the Hamm 311D, follow these "essential" principles to ensure safety and work efficiency:
- Thorough inspection: Make sure the roller is ready for operation, without any signs of damage.
- "Memorize" the instructions: Carefully read and remember the operating and safety instructions from the manufacturer.
- Safety zone: Identify and ensure there are no people or obstacles in the roller's operating area.
- Check safety functions: The mass cut-off switch, control lever, warning lights, horn, and work lights must be functioning properly.
- Comfortable operating position: Adjust the seat and rearview mirror for the best visibility.
- Sufficient fuel: Check and replenish fuel regularly to avoid water condensation in the tank.
- Standard tire pressure: Check tire pressure before operation to prevent tire bursts.
OPERATING THE HAMM 311D ROLLER LIKE AN EXPERT
- Starting after a long period of inactivity: If the roller has not been operated for a long time, run the engine in "warm-up" mode at moderate speed until the hydraulic oil reaches a temperature of about +20 degrees Celsius.
- Smooth gear shifting: Always stop the vehicle completely before shifting gears. Use 2nd gear when working on paved roads. Reduce speed when encountering blind spots or going up/down slopes.
- Operating the vibration function: Do not activate the vibration function near large structures or when there are underground power lines. Avoid switching the vibration function on slopes or hard ground.
- Proper shutdown: Before leaving the cabin, make sure to turn off the vibration function, apply the parking brake, reduce the engine speed to the lowest level, and lower any attachments on the machine. Do not turn off the engine immediately when the machine is still operating at high power; let the engine idle for 1-2 minutes to gradually reduce the temperature. Finally, lock the control lever, remove the key, and lock the cabin doors.
HAMM 311D ROLLER MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE: "SECRET" TO EXTENDING LIFESPAN
| Operating Hours | Maintenance Item |
| 50h | Replace hydraulic filter element, steering filter element, travel drum drive gearbox oil. Check wheel nut tightness, general inspection of engine and hydraulic system. |
| 250h | Change engine oil, coarse fuel filter, fine fuel filter, engine oil filter. Check wheel nut tightness, general inspection of engine and hydraulic system. |
| 500h | Replace hydraulic filter element, steering filter element, cabin air conditioning filter (if equipped), air filter element. Check wheel nut tightness, general inspection of engine and hydraulic system. |
| 1000h | Change vibration motor axle oil, travel drum drive gearbox oil. Check wheel nut tightness, general inspection of engine and hydraulic system. |
| 2000h | Change hydraulic oil, engine coolant, differential gearbox oil. |
Proper operation and maintenance of the Hamm 311D roller not only ensures the safety of the operator and those around them but also helps to prolong the life of the equipment, optimize work efficiency, and save on repair costs. Hopefully, this helpful guide will help you "cherish" your Hamm 311D roller, so it will always be a reliable companion on every construction site.
