  • Page 14: Description

    Description Description Field of application 4.1.1 BPU 2540 Through the low width and continuous switchability especially suitable for all surface compacting work in limited space conditions (e.g. in cable trenches) or the compacting of edge trims when repairing blacktops, as well as all compacting work where the use of a large machine is not possible.
  • Page 15: Functional Description

    Description Functional description The vibration required for compaction is generated by the exciter (5) that is permanently attached to the base plate (4). The exciter is designed as a central vibrator with directional vibrations. This principle allows you to change the direction of vibration by simply turning the eccentric weights (13).
  • Page 16 Description The upper mass (3) and the base plate (4) are connected to each other via 4 vibration-damping rubber metal shockmounts (11). This damping prevents very high frequencies from being transferred to the upper mass (3). This maintains proper functioning of the drive motor (1) despite a high compaction capacity.
  • Page 17: Transport To The Worksite

    Transport to the worksite Transport to the worksite Requirements: ∗ When transporting the vibrating plate compactor, use only suitable hoisting gear with a minimum load-bearing capacity of 200 kg. ∗ Always turn off the motor during transportation! ∗ Vertically set guide handle head and lock into place. ∗...
  • Page 18: Recommendations For Compacting

    Recommendations for compacting Recommendations for compacting 6.0.1 Condition of the ground The maximum layer thickness depends on several factors such as the condition of the ground/soil, the moisture, grading etc. This is why it is not always possible to make precise recommendations.
