  • Page 23: Description

    Description Description Max. admissible inclination Description of function 2.2.1 The vibration required for compaction is produced by the exciter (13) which is firmly joined to the lower mass (5). This exciter (13) is designed as a central vibrator with aligned vibrations. Such a principle permits the direction of vibration to be changed by turning the eccentric weights (15).
  • Page 24 Description Forwards Standstill Reverse 2.2.2 The drive engine (1) anchored to the upper mass (4) drives the exciter (13). The torque is transmitted by means of a friction connection through the centrifugal clutch (11) and the exciter V-belt (12). 2.2.3 The centrifugal clutch (11) interrupts flow of power to the exciter (13) at low engine speed and thus permits perfect idling of the drive engine (1).
  • Page 25 Description Hec - compaction display unit All sensitive electronic systems are located on the upper mass of the vibratory plate so as to be subject to less vibration. The display unit is fitted to the battery cover and is located in the operator's field of view.
  • Page 26 Description 2.3.2 Main function The display unit provides a "rough guide" to the operator of progress during compaction work. The number of LEDs that light up depends on the soil density (the higher the number of LEDs, the greater the soil density). The identification of flawed points (points with material that cannot be compacted or a high percentage of water) is not possible if the flawed point is longer than one meter.

    Transport to work site /Recommendations on compaction Transport to work site /Recommendations on compaction Warning Improper use can result in injury or serious material damage. ∗ Read and follow all the safety instructions at the beginning of this operator's manual, see chapter Safety information. Transport to work site Danger Danger of fire and explosions by fuel!
  • Page 28 Transport to work site /Recommendations on compaction ∗ Only attach suitable tackle at the central lifting point (16) provided. The central lifting point is located exactly above the centre of gravity of the machine. The central lifting point can be displaced rearwards (18), given an application in which the height of the machine is of importance (torque wrench setting = 85 Nm).

    Transport to work site /Recommendations on compaction Recommendations on compaction 3.2.1 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.

    Operation Operation Warning Improper use can result in injury or serious material damage. ∗ Read and follow all the safety instructions at the beginning of this operator's manual, see chapter Safety information. Starting 4.1.1 Starting requirements: Engine oil: Check the oil level with the dipstick (19). Add oil (see Technical data) through the filler neck (21) as needed.

  • Page 31: Mechanical Oil Pressure Control

    Operation Mechanical oil pressure control It is necessary to reactivate the mechanical oil pressure control in the following cases: ∗ after the initial filling - first filling - of the fuel tank or if the tank has run dry. ∗ in the case of an automatic engine stop due to an inefficient engine oil supply.
  • Page 32 Operation Check oil level every 8 to 15 operating hours in spite of the mechanical oil pressure control. Warning* Danger of poisoning by exhaust fumes! Exhaust fumes contain toxic carbon monoxide that can lead to unconsciousness or death. ∗ Always switch off the engine during maintenance work! ∗...

  • Page 33: Electric Start

    Operation Electric start 1. Turn the throttle control lever (8) clockwise into load position 1/2 - 3/4. 2. Leave decompression lever (2) in the position „e“. 3. Put the ignition key into ignition switch (25) and turn it clockwise into operating position (the charge control lamp (27) lights up and the buzzer will be heard).
  • Page 34 Operation Wait until the engine stops before repeating the starting procedure. 4. Interpretation of LEDs The first two seconds after the machine has been switched on, a running light column appears on the compaction display unit. The LEDs light up one after the other, moving from left to right. If all LEDs light up, there are no errors and the LEDs then go out again one after the other.
  • Page 35 Operation Wait until the engine stops before repeating the starting procedure. 4. The charge control lamp (27) must turn off immediately after the engine has started running and the acoustic alarm has stopped. Stop the engine immediately in case of eventual irregularities, then locate the fault and repair it.
