TRANSPORT TO WORK SITE, RECOMMENDATIONS ON COMPACTION
Transport to work site
Conditions:
-
To transport the vibration plate, use only suitable lifting equipment with a minimum load-bearing capacity
of 200 kg.
- Only attach suitable tackle at the central lifting point (15) provided.
- Always tie down the vibratory plate by the protective frame (14) and latch the center pole in place during
transport of the vibratory plate on the loading area of a transport vehicle.
☛
ATTENTION! The engine must be stopped when using the integrated transport device
Lubrication of the engine is not guaranteed if the engine is running when the plate is in
transport position.
This could lead to serious engine damages.
Furthermore the danger exists that oil will spill out of the crankcase breather.
Note: Also observe the regulations in the chapter “Safety instructions“.
Recommendations on compaction
Ground conditions
The max. compaction depth depends on several factors relating to the ground condition, such as moisture,
grain distribution etc.
It is therefore not possible to specify exact values.
Recommendation:
In each case determine the max. compaction depth with compaction tests and soil sam-
ples.
Compaction on slopes
The following points are to be observed when compacting on sloped surfaces (slopes, embankments):
* Only approach gradients from the bottom (a gradient which can be easily overcome upwards, can also be
compacted downwards without any risk).
* The operator must never stand in the direction of descent (see chapter “Safety instructions“).
* The max. gradient of 20
o
must not be exceeded.
☛
ATTENTION! If this gradient were exceeded, this would result in a failure of the engine lubrication sys-
tem (splash lubrication) and thus inevitably lead to a breakdown of important engine
components.
Wrong ! Right !
