CLIMBING ABILITY
FUNCTION
The vibration required for tamping is produced by the exciter which is on the compacting plate.
The engine starts the exciter and the torque is transmitted by the centrifugal clutch and by the belt.
In order to allow the idling of the drive engine, the centrifugal clutch, at low engine speeds, interrupts
the flow of power to exciter. The compactor must always be used with the gas handle in the
“OPERATIVE” position.
The engine support and the compacting plates are connected by 4 shockmount, which are mounted
to avoid that vibrations reach the operator.
Plate compactor is equipped with hydraulic system that allow to change gradually the speed.
The direction of plate compactor depends on the position of control levers on the handle.
APPLICATIONS
Deep compaction of medium and big areas. Foundations, digs and floors.
