Comprehensive Maintenance and Service Guide for Small Fully Hydraulic Single Drum Rollers (4-10 Tons)

12/31/2025

Introduction
As critical equipment in road construction, the performance and longevity of small fully hydraulic single drum rollers depend directly on regular and proper maintenance. Implementing and following a systematic maintenance schedule is fundamental to preventing unexpected downtime, reducing major repair costs, and ensuring worksite safety and project quality.

1. Component Lubrication
Adequate lubrication is the primary step in reducing wear and ensuring smooth operation.

  • Key Lubrication Points: Regularly apply the specified type of grease to points such as the articulation frametravel bearings, and drive shafts.

  • Lubrication Interval: Follow the intervals recommended by the manufacturer, shortening the cycle if operating under severe conditions.

2. Hydraulic System Maintenance
The hydraulic system is the "heart" of a fully hydraulic roller, and its condition directly impacts overall machine performance.

  • Hydraulic Fluid Management:

    • Check fluid levels regularly, maintaining them within the marked range on the sight gauge.

    • Change the hydraulic fluid strictly according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule (typically based on operating hours), replacing the hydraulic filter(s) simultaneously.

    • Always use the exact fluid type and grade specified for the machine.

  • System Cleanliness:

    • Regularly clean or replace suction and return line filters.

    • Keep the hydraulic tank cap clean to prevent contaminant entry.

  • Line and Component Inspection:

    • Periodically inspect all hydraulic hoses and fittings for signs of wear, cracks, leaks, or aging.

    • Check hydraulic cylinders for leaks and ensure smooth, even operation.

3. Engine Maintenance
The engine provides the machine's power, and its upkeep is vital.

  • Engine Oil and Filters: Change engine oil and oil filters at intervals specified in the maintenance schedule.

  • Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter element regularly. Increase inspection frequency in dusty environments.

  • Cooling and Intake Systems: Keep the radiator clean and check coolant level and quality. Ensure intake and exhaust passages are clear.

4. Routine Comprehensive Inspections
Develop a habit of conducting pre-operation, post-operation, and periodic comprehensive checks.

  • Fasteners: Check for loose bolts and nuts on critical components (e.g., wheel hubs, vibration mounts).

  • Travel and Drum: Check tire pressure (if applicable), drum surface condition, and scraper blade integrity.

  • Electrical System: Inspect wiring, lights, instrument panel indicators, and battery connections.

  • Operation Monitoring: During operation, consistently monitor instrument panel readings for coolant temperature, oil temperature, engine oil pressure, and hydraulic oil temperature.

  • Overall Condition: Be alert to any abnormal noises, vibrations, or loss of performance.

Conclusion
Consistently following these maintenance procedures will significantly enhance the roller's reliability and cost-effectiveness. Always prioritize safety; ensure the machine is shut down and related components are cool and pressure-relieved before performing any maintenance. For complex faults or major repairs, contact authorized service personnel.
