Page 4: Section 1: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Excavator mounted compactors (also named compaction plates) can be used to provide safe, fast, efficient compaction for surfaces including soil sand gravel hardcore or recycled materials. In addition to open areas, they can also be used within excavations and on embankments. They can be used to drive in piles or formwork. -

Page 8: Section 5: Risk Assessment Checklist
Ensure that regular checks are carried out to ensure that hazards are controlled and the equipment is in good working order • Ground vibrations may lead to substantial nuisance or hazard to the adjoining areas. *MGF Ground Vibration Monitors are available for hire. • Improper use of the compactor can lead to dangerous situations... -
Page 9: Section 6: Do's / Don'ts
Store the compactor in a safe clean area, on or with its transport skid when not in use Place compactor onto transport skid and fit ratchet straps when ready for re- collection Have hydraulic spill kits available (can be sourced from MGF) before commencing works Employ Safe manual handling techniques where applicable... - Page 10 DONT’S: Do not operate the compactor if anyone is in the exclusion zone Do not enter the ‘Exclusion Zone’ if the compactor is being operated Do not use the compactor if it is faulty in any way Do not touch the compactor during the operating process (even if the excavator is switched off) as it can become hot Do not over compact and this can lead to services damage.
-
Page 11: Section 7: Compactor Operation
If moving the skid at any point the ratchet straps must always be used and secured. (For IHC150 only) the compactor will be supplied with a Quick Hitch bracket that can have either Ø65 or Ø80 pin options fitted. -

• Ensure the compactor is only ever fitted to uni-directional flow systems, unrestricted back to tank • An MGF fitter will set up and identify hoses – by putting RED PVC tape around the ‘flow in’ designated hose on the compactor. Red tape around also around the excavator flow out QR fitting. -

While moving the excavator’s bucket cylinder slowly in and out in the direction of ‘crowd’ and ‘dump’, check: For any interference or obstruction between the compactor and excavator Whether the length of the connecting hoses are too short or too long... -
Page 14: Operating Instructions
7.5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Press down in a direction vertical to the ground, with compactor plate angled to match ground angle. Whilst applying force, elastomer blocks must not deform/stretch by more than 40mm. -
Page 15: General Advise/Instructions
Max deflection = half original elastomer diameter • Place the compactor uniformly on the ground you want to compact • Lower the excavator’s boom slowly to press the compactor vertically to the ground Ensure that the Elastomer Block is deformed/stretched less than 40mm. If the Elastomer Block is pressed more than the specified limit, it may be damaged or its life might be shortened If you operate the compactor, having touched a very hard object such as a concrete floor... -

Page 17: Section 10: Steps To Attempt Release Of Hydraulic Pressure In 'Pecker Circuit' Of An Excavator
STEPS TO ATTEMPT RELEASE OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURE IN ‘PECKER CIRCUIT’ OF AN EXCAVATOR ISSUE = WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RELEASE OR USE THE ‘QUICK RELEASE’ COUPLINGS OF THE COMPACTOR FROM AN EXCAVATOR ‘PECKER CIRCUIT’, PRESSURE CAN BE TRAPPED IN THE CIRCUIT WHICH MEANS THE QUICK RELEASE COUPLINGS ARE VERY HARD TO OPERATE, OR CANNOT BE OPERATED DUE TO THE PRESSURE. - Page 18 Ensure the dead man switch (usually a lever at the side of the operator’s seat) is up or enabled. Do not operate or move the joysticks or other controls, but carefully move only the control switch for the pecker circuit. This should be switched several times.
- Page 19 Complete the steps within approx. a 30 second period. (reason - accumulator pressure can drop over time due to wear or seal leakage. A newer machine will give you more time to complete the steps etc.) If pressure cannot be released by this method contact an MGF fitter.
