♦
Place the hydraulic compactor on the ground.
♦
Make sure that the entire tamper plate makes
contact with the ground.
♦
Switch on the hydraulic compactor.
♦
Exert slight pressure on the hydraulic compactor
and move it slowly along a straight line.
The ground/soil is compacted by the frequency of
the tamper plate. Exerting excessive pressure with
the carrier does not improve the working result.
♦
Switch off the hydraulic compactor, lift it and put
it back on the ground elsewhere to compact the
next section.
♦
Try the compactor on a short test distance to
determine the suitable layer depth and to find out
how long the hydraulic compactor has to work on
any single point to achieve the compaction
required.
♦
If necessary, recompact a section that you have
already worked on.
Driving something into the ground
♦
Check that the tamper plate makes contact with
any sheeting or post that has to be driven into the
ground.
♦
Switch on the hydraulic compactor.
♦
Exert slight pressure on the hydraulic compactor
and have it impact the sheeting or post a couple
of times.
♦
Switch off the hydraulic compactor, lift it and put
it back on the ground elsewhere.
High ambient temperature
♦
Only use hydraulic oils of sufficient viscosity.
In summer and in tropical climates, the minimum
requirement is a hydraulic oil of type HLP 68.
Low ambient temperature
Ambient temperature below -20 °C:
You must heat up the hydraulic attachment and the
carrier when working in ambient temperatures of
below -20 °C.
Preferably park the carrier and the hydraulic
attachment in a heated, sheltered space while not
using it.
NOTICE
Hydraulic oil too cold
Operating the hydraulic attachment while hydraulic
oil is still cold will damage the seals of the hydraulic
parts.
►
Do not operate the hydraulic compactor until the
temperature of the hydraulic oil it at least 0 °C.
♦
Start the carrier as instructed by the carrier
manufacturer.
♦
Let the carrier warm up until the operating
temperature required by the manufacturer has
been reached.
NOTICE
Damage to hydraulic parts
Hot hydraulic oil causes damage to subcooled
hydraulic attachments.
►
Do not fill the hydraulic system with hot hydraulic
oil.
The temperature of the hydraulic oil of the carrier
must be at least 0 °C.
♦
Start the hydraulic attachment, once the
temperature has reached 0 °C.
♦
During operations, leave the carrier engine and
pumps running even during breaks.
