The preparations required prior to starting the
hydraulic attachment depend on the ambient
temperature:
●
Ambient temperature below 20 °C(see chapter
Low ambient temperature
).
●
Ambient temperature above 30 °C(see chapter
High ambient temperature
).
The oil temperature in the hydraulic attachment must
be between 0 °C and +80 °C during operation.
The full capacity of the hydraulic attachment can be
achieved when the oil temperature is approx. 60 °C.
♦
Make sure that there are no people in the danger
zone.
♦
Start the carrier as instructed by the carrier
manufacturer.
♦
Let the carrier warm up until the operating
temperature prescribed by the carrier manufacturer
has been reached.
♦
Put the carrier in its working position.
Switching the hydraulic
compactor on and off
After properly attaching the hydraulic attachment to
the carrier, the hydraulic attachment can be operated
using the carrier‘s hydraulic system. All functions for
normal carrier operation remain intact.
The hydraulic attachment is switched on and off using
electrical and hydraulic signals.
If you have any questions about electric/hydraulic
commands, consult the carrier manufacturer and/or
the Atlas Copco Customer Center/Dealer in your
area.
♦
Switch the hydraulic attachment on and off, as
described in the carrier‘s operating instructions.
♦
When leaving the driver’s cab, set the safety
switch/lever for the electrical/hydraulic attachment
installation to the „OFF“ position.
Carry out the above actions to prevent any
unintended start-up of the hydraulic attachment.
Functional test
Always carry out a functional test before putting the
hydraulic attachment into use to check that all
hydraulic lines and connections are tight and that the
hydraulic attachment works without any problems.
♦
Position the hydraulic attachment on the ground.
♦
Briefly switch on the hydraulic attachment and
exert light pressure on it.
♦
Check the hydraulic lines and make sure that the
hydraulic attachment works without any problems.
with a rotating mechanism:
♦
Switch off the tamper plate.
♦
Using the carrier boom function, raise the hydraulic
attachment so that it is suspended in a vertical
direction.
♦
Rotate the hydraulic attachment in clockwise and
anticlockwise directions using the connected
carrier function
»Rotate gripper«
.
all models:
♦
Immediately switch off the hydraulic attachment if
oil escapes from the hydraulic lines or if other
function defects occur.
♦
Depressurise the hydraulic system (see chapter
Depressurising the hydraulic system
).
♦
Only use the hydraulic attachment again after
having repaired all leaks and functional defects.
Correct operation
Compacting
Water and air are pressed out of the material to be
compacted during the compaction action. The degree
to which a material can be compacted mainly
depends on the following characteristics:
●
Form and size:
e.g. grit of a uniform size cannot be compacted
like hard core of different shapes and sizes
●
Water content
●
Depth of the layer to be compacted:
the compaction result can be increased if the layer
height is less
