Stavostroj VH 850, VH 950 2004 Workshop Manual – Factory OEM Specs

If you’re tearing down a Stavostroj VH 850, VH 950 2004 Workshop Manual tandem vibratory roller and you don’t have the factory documentation, you’re working blind. I’ve seen too many guys guess on hydromotor removal and end up with a cracked drum housing. This 2004 Workshop Manual is 210 pages of what the factory put on paper. It’s not a reprint. It’s the original OEM file from Stavostroj, dated February 2004. The PDF covers both the VH 850 and VH 950 models with dedicated sections for each where the specs differ.

Drum Dismantling and Assembly: Factory Procedure

Section 4 of this manual walks you through the drum—from removing the vibration hydromotor (page 34) to reassembling the vibrator bearings and flange oil seal. The procedure for dismantling the inner ring of the bearing out of the vibrator shaft is laid out with exact tool callouts. You won’t find generic instructions here. Each step references the specific Stavostroj fixtures listed in the appendix (section 13.7). If you’re swapping rubber-metals on the machine, section 4.8 shows you how without pulling the whole drum.

Does This Manual Cover the Hydraulic System?

Section 9 dives into the hydraulic system—dismantling hydromotors for steering and lifting, pumps for travel and vibration, and the clutch assembly. The hydraulic diagrams on page [DATA NEEDED] (section 9.6) are the real deal: flow paths, pressure test points, and port designations. Need to replace a steering pump on the machine? Section 9.5 gives you the sequence. The manual also covers the cooling circuit for the engine and hydraulic oil in section 10, including removal of the water and oil cooler.

7 Systems Covered in the Workshop Manual

The manual splits into seven major systems: drum, tire axle, water tanks, frame/yoke, cabin, hydraulic system, and electrical wiring. Each one gets its own chapter with dismantling and assembly steps. The electrical section (chapter 12) includes the fuse box layout, accumulator data, bulb exchange procedures for headlights and dashboard, and a full wiring diagram. For troubleshooting, appendix 13.5 gives a fault table—no guesswork, just symptom, cause, and corrective action.

Get the Right Torque Data from Section 13.6

Torque specs are the difference between a job that holds and one that leaks. Section 13.6 is a table of tightening moments for every threaded fastener on the machine. Don’t rely on aftermarket charts. These are the Stavostroj factory values. Also check section 3.4 (page 26) for basic technical data: overall dimensions, operating weights, drum width, and engine specs. If you’re removing the engine from the machine, chapter 11 tells you the lift points and disconnection order.

Repair Safety Instructions: Why You Read Them First

Before you touch a wrench, read section 2. It covers repair safety, environmental measures, and fire precautions. This isn’t boilerplate—Stavostroj wrote this for their own service technicians. It includes specific warnings about hydraulic fluid injection injuries and pinch points during drum removal. Follow it. If you need the operator’s daily reference, check the STAVOSTROJ VH 850 and VH 950 Operating Manual for pre-shift checks. For related machines, see the Workshop Manual for Stavostroj VH 250 / VH 350 Tandems – Section: The Seat or the Operation Manual Vibratory Rollers VV 700 VV 910.

The manual also covers towing procedures (appendix 13.4) and pulse sensor adjustment (13.2). For general knowledge on Manual Transmission principles, you can reference external resources, but this manual has the specific transmission for this roller. Another external resource on Manual Transmission fundamentals might help if you’re unfamiliar with gearboxes, but stick to the factory specs here.

Bottom line: this is the document I keep open on the tablet next to the roller. It saves me from calling the Stavostroj hotline every time I hit a tricky bearing pull. 210 pages, no filler. Access the Factory Manual.
