aspects of operating and maintaining the machine.
If there is anything you are not sure about, ask your JCB
distributor or employer. Do not guess, you or others could
be killed or seriously injured.
General warnings in this chapter are repeated throughout
the book, as well as specific warnings. Read all the safety
statements regularly, so you do not forget them.
Remember that the best operators are the safest
operators.
The illustrations in this manual are for guidance only.
Where the machines differ, the text and or the illustration
will specify.
This manual contains original instructions, verified by the

Introduction
Machine Description
1 - 2 1 - 29813/0650
Machine Description
The JCB Vibromax Vibratory Single
Drum Roller
The self-propelled vibratory single drum roller is designed
with a compaction device consisting of a metallic
cylindrical drum which compacts material such as crushed
rock, earth, asphalt or gravel, through a rolling and/or
vibrating action or the compaction device. (The machine
complies with ISO Standard 6165:2002).
Machines are characterised by smooth drum (`D' Models)
or pad foot (`PD' Models) drum configurations
All models are fitted with a hydrostatic drive system which
allows for infinitely variable travel speeds. The engine
speed is always set to maximum and the drive lever is
used to control the road speed.There are two speed
ranges for both the drum and rear axle. The rear axles are
a `no spin' design for improved traction.
A hydrostatic system is also used to turn the machine's
vibratory shaft. The machines are designed with an
overturning weight system on the vibratory shaft, the VM
46D/PD only has one Frequency/Amplitude, all others
have low/high rates.
The machine has articulated steering for a shorter turning
radius and oscillation joints to allow operating on rough
terrain.
Note: The illustration(s) show a typical machine model;
your machine may look different from the model shown.
The machine is intended only for compacting beds of
earthy building materials when running over the subgrade
in the forward or reverse direction with or without vibration.
These building materials include soil types ranging from
stones to silty sand and having water contents ranging
from 40% to 110% of the optimum water content. These
figures are in accordance to the standard Proctor test DIN
18127.
Fine-grained soils or soils having higher water contents
require a qualified trial compaction.
The machine is intended to be used only on a subgrade
gradient up to the permissible gradient.

Safety Labels
Introduction
T1-014_2
Safety labels are strategically placed around the machine
to remind you of possible hazards.
If you need eye-glasses for reading, make sure you wear
them when reading the safety labels. Do not over-stretch
or place yourself in dangerous positions to read the safety
labels. If you do not understand the hazard shown on the
safety label, then refer to Safety Label Identification.
Note: The illustration(s) show a typical machine model.
Your machine may look different from the model shown.
Keep all safety labels clean and readable. Replace lost or
damaged safety labels. Make sure replacement parts
include safety labels where necessary. Each safety label
has a part number printed on it, use this number to order a
new safety label from your JCB distributor.

Machine Security
Construction Equipment Security And
Registration Scheme (CESAR)
T1-020
JCB are pleased to announce, the availability of CESAR a
simple, effective method of machine identification and
registration that operates throughout the United Kingdom
and Ireland and across the whole spectrum of JCB
products.
CESAR is a scheme to help reduce plant theft, and was
developed by the Metropolitan Police and the Home Office
Plant Theft Action Group.
The key to the scheme is its simplicity and will mean that
every police officer in the country will know how to identify
construction machinery and verify ownership. This will
provide a major leap forward in both protecting machinery,
and recovering it.
The Construction Equipment Association is managing the
scheme, and Datatag are providing the security material
and support. JCB is fully supportive of the CESAR initiative
and will offer it as a factory fit option across the range.
The CESAR kit includes 2 Tamper proof triangular ID
plates fitted on either side of the machine, a unique
transponder, mini radio frequency identification tags
(RFIDs) concealed throughout the machine, Datatag micro
dots, and a unique DNA coded chemical painted on the
machines major components. Plus a registration certificate
logged onto the CESAR or DVLA databases, and a change
of keeper form.
