Design and function
5.1
Standard package
The machine is delivered fully assembled and is ready for use out of the box.
The standard package includes:
Vibratory plate
Remote control (optional)
Operator’s manual
Manual for machine configuration (includes PIN data of the machine)
5.2
Application areas
The vibratory plate is used for compacting soil. It is used in gardening and landscaping as well as civil
engineering, road construction, and paving.

Short description
The water-cooled drive motor in the upper mass hydraulically powers the eccentric weight of the base
plate.
The exciter is designed as a centrally mounted exciter. This principle enables the modification of the
direction of oscillation (by adjusting the eccentric weights) and thus the movement of the machine
(forwards, in reverse or on-the-spot vibration).
For the exciter of the remote controlled machine, eccentric weights can be individually adjusted in order
to allow steering movements. In addition, spot vibration can be adjusted.
The cooler reduces the temperature of the engine coolant as well as that of the hydraulic oil.
The intake air is aspirated in the cold area between the cooler and the rear protective hood and purified
via an air cleaner equipped with a pre-cleaner.
The muffler discharges exhaust fumes from the front.
To start the drive motor automatically, the glow plugs are preheated. The speed of the drive motor is
controlled via a lifting magnet. The machine is switched off via an electrically controlled solenoid valve
on the fuel filter.
The electrical control unit is located in the electrical box.
The operator’s controls are located on the electrical box and the center pole head.
The maintenance-free starter battery is located below the bracket for the remote control.
The machine is controlled with the center pole. For the remote controlled machine, it is controlled
exclusively via the remote control.

Remote-control vibratory plate
The machine is controlled exclusively by the remote control.
Within the receiving area, the commands of the remote control are transmitted to the machine via
infrared signal.
For trouble-free transmission of the infrared signal, the remote control must always be aimed directly at
one of the receiving units of the machine.
The following commands are possible with the remote control:
Start engine.
Move machine with simultaneous vibration.
Switch spot vibration on and off.
Move machine slow or fast.
Switch off engine.
Infrared system
If the remote control has been activated by pressing the ON/OFF switch, it permanently sends infrared
signals to the respective receiving unit of the machine.
The receiving unit of the machine converts the infrared signal into an electrical signal. The control
electronics process the electrical signal and control the machine in accordance with the control
command.
