1.12 Recommendations on compaction
Soil conditions:
The maximum compaction depth of the soil depends on several factors relating to the nature of the soil, such as water
content, grain-size distribution, etc. It is therefore not possible to specify a given layer depth.
Recommendation:
In each case determine the maximum possible compaction depth through compaction tests and
soil samples.
1.13 Transportation
1. Always shut off the engine and close the fuel valve when transporting the rammer.
2. Use lifting equipment with minimum lifting capacity of 220.5 lbs. (100 kg).
3. Use the central lifting point
(a)
when lifting the rammer.
4. WACKER recommends transporting rammers upright whenever possible; however, a rammer should not be
allowed to fall over.
If the rammer cannot be secured in the upright position, tie down the rammer to the transport vehicle to prevent
it from tipping, falling, or rolling. Lay the rammer down only as shown below and tie it to the vehicle at points
(b)
and
(c)
.
CAUTION:
Drain the fuel tank as required to prevent fuel leaking from the cap
(d)
.
CAUTION:
After transporting the rammer horizontally, upright the rammer and allow the oil to drain back through the
engine. It may take up to 45 minutes for the oil level to recover. Failure to do so may result in engine damage.
Note:
Refer to the specifications in the safety instructions.
