6. Recommendations for compacting
6.0.1 Condition of the ground
The maximum layer thickness depends on several factors such as the
condition of the ground/soil, the moisture, grading etc.
This is why it is not always possible to make precise
recommendations.
Recommendation: In certain cases, determine the maximum layer
thickness by conducting compacting tests and taking ground samples.
6.0.2 Compacting on a slope
The following points must be observed if you plan to compact inclined
surfaces (slopes, escarpments):
∗
Start at the bottom of a slope (slopes that can also be easily managed
in an upward direction can be safely travelled in a downward direction).
∗
The operator must never stand with their back facing the bottom.
∗
Do not exceed maximum tilt of 20°.
Working on slopes that exceed this tilt will cause the engine lubrication
system to fail and thus inevitably damage parts of the engine.
