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 supporting and the compacting plates are connected by 4 shockmount, which are
mounted to avoid that vibrations reach the operator.
APPLICATIONS
The compactor CB1450 is suitable for asphalted road maintenance, pavé and interlocking tiles
laying, compaction of any kind of soils.
