    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Make sure the soil or subsoil to be compacted has a high enough load carrying capacity. Use appropriate protective clothing while working or while carrying out maintenance work. When traveling backwards the operator has to guide the vibration plate laterally by its guide handle so that he will not be squeezed between the handle and a possible obstacle.

    They are also suited to compact blacktop surfacings and to vibrante interlocking paving stones. Due to its op- timum ratio of centrifugal force to contact area the BPU 2950A is the machine of this series which can be most universally used.

  • Page 12: Description Of Function

    DESCRIPTION Description of function The vibration required for compaction is produced by the exciter (4) which is firmly joinded to the lower mass (3). This exciter (4) is designed as a central vibrator with single-plane vibrations. Such a principle permits the direction of vibration to be changed by turning the eccentric weights (11).

  • Page 13: Transport To Work Site

    TRANSPORT TO WORK SITE Transport to work site Conditions: To transport the vibration plate, use only suitable lifting equipment with a minimum load-bearing capacity of 200 kg. During transport, always switch the engine off! Only attach suitable tackle at the central lifting point (13) provided. During transport on the loading area of a vehicle, tie down the vibration plate using the lugs (12).

  • Page 14: Recommendations On Compaction

    RECOMMENDATIONS ON COMPACTION Ground conditions The max. compaction depth depends on several factors relating to the ground condition, such as moisture, grain distribution etc. It is therefore not possible to specify exact values. Recommendation: In each case determine the max. compaction depth with compaction tests and soil sam- ples.
