8.0 Operation
8.1 Pre-operation Checks
IMPORTANT
Allied work tools are designed to provide optimum
performance with reliable service life at the flow and
oil pressure specified. Operating the work tool
beyond the accepted data listed in the Specifications
Table will damage the equipment. Use the form
included in this manual when testing the machine’s
hydraulic circuit.
CAUTION
Repair or replace any damaged components prior to
operation. Do not operate work tool until all faults are
corrected.
For safe and proper operation, perform a thorough
daily inspection of the equipment before use.
Daily, before operating:
1.
Ensure work tool is securely attached to the
carrier. Check mounting pins and hardware for
wear or damage.
2.
Remove any accumulated dirt and debris on the
work tool as this may decrease performance.
3.
Inspect the following for damage:
x
Inspect rubber of spring mounts for cracks or
separation from end plate
x
Inspect hoses, seals, motor and valve for oil
leaks
x
Check for loose or missing fasteners
NOTE
: Further details can be found in the Care and
Maintenance Section of this manual.
8.2 Operation
CAUTION
Injury from flying debris. Do not
operate the Ho-Pac with workers in
close proximity of work zone.
Clear all personnel from work area
before the Ho-Pac is operated.
CAUTION
Injury from flying debris. Personal
protection equipment, including safety
eyewear, must be worn when operating
or servicing this equipment.
Risk of hearing impairment or loss.
Hearing protection must be worn by all
personnel exposed to prolonged high
noise levels.
WARNING
Injury from falls into open excavations.
Ground vibrations may collapse trench
walls.
Erect barriers around open excavations to control
entry into established work zone.
CAUTION
Never activate the work tool unless the operator is
seated in the operator’s seat and in full control of the
machine. Follow instructions in the operator's
manual provided with carrier.
1.
Position carrier in-line with direction of work.
2.
Position the Ho-Pac parallel to the work surface
and within view of the operator. The compaction
plate must be in full contact with the work surface
for maximum effectiveness.
3.
Activate the Ho-Pac with the switch located in the
operator’s cab.
4.
Use the carrier to push down against the springs
of the Ho-Pac. This will not only transfer the
vibratory energy more effectively to the soil but
also adds static pressure which assists with
compaction.
IMPORTANT
Overstretching the rubber springs will contribute to
early spring failure. Stretch the spring mounts no
more than approximately one-half (1/2) their width.
