Position the engine speed control lever to give required speed (usually full speed).
Commence compaction. The compactor is self-travelling. Its speed of travel and the
number of passes required to achieve optimum compaction depends on the type and
condition of material being compacted and the layer depth.
Uniformly graded granular material compacts far more efficiently than wet cohesive
material.
When Compacting block paving always use a rubber attachment mat, contact your
agent for details.
When compacting blacktop always use a water spray, contact your agent for details.
Do not run the machine on solid surfaces, as this is likely to cause damage.
7. LUBRICATION
The vibrator pack is a ‘lubricated for life’ unit. It will only need relubricating if there is
a need to replace the seal and/or bearings. Replenish the housing with 150ml of
engine oil Grade 10W/30 or 15W/40.
8. VEE BELT ADJUSTMENT
It is important to note that belt tension in this application is much less than is
generally accepted as normal. Too high a belt tension may lead to engine damage,
excessive vibration in the handle, short belt life and short vibrator shaft bearing life
due to excessive transmission of vibration through the belt. Correct adjustment is
achieved by moving the engine back to take the slack out of the belt. With light finger
pressure on top of the belt and at the centre of the span, a deflection of between
5mm and 10mm is expected.
