Auxiliary equipment Padfoot shells Padfoot shells Clamp connection, drum outside Clamp connection, drum Mounting bracket centre 6.06.02 Description Using padfoot shells, a smooth drum can be converted into a padfoot drum. The increase in surface area widens the field of application of the compactor to cover not only non-cohesive and sandy mixed soils but also cohesive and highly cohesive soils.
Page 204 Auxiliary equipment Padfoot shells Place two square timbers [1] of 100 mm × 100 mm × 800 mm (4" × 4" × 32") on both sides of the drum from behind. With the working gear engaged, slowly reverse the machine onto the square timbers until the drum is centred approx.

Note the position of the centre of gravity. For versions with assembly opening on the rear of the crossbeam: Loosen the screws [5] and remove them together with the cover [6].
Page 206 Auxiliary equipment Padfoot shells Tightening the first padfoot shell Secure the shell half [1] with a tension strap [2] to prevent it from coming away: Attach the tension strap [2] so that the buckle [3] is behind the upper edge of the shell. Tighten the tension strap [2]. Mounting the second padfoot shell Start the diesel engine and drive the machine slowly forwards until the shell half [1] lies horizontally.

Page 215 Auxiliary equipment Padfoot shells Attach the shell half [1] to the crane with a chain [2] and tension it slightly. Open the buckle [3] and remove the tension strap [4]. Remove the shell half [1] from the drum. Fitting the smooth drum scrapers – method 1 Loosen the clamp connection [1] and replace the padfoot drum scrapers [2] with the smooth drum scrapers [3] (observe lateral spacer plates).
Page 216 Auxiliary equipment Padfoot shells Fitting the smooth drum scrapers – method 2 Loosen the fastening screws [1] and remove them together with the padfoot drum scrapers [2]. Move the threaded protective screws to the threaded holes [3] and tighten them. Remove the nut [4] and take the scraper elements [5] and [6] for the smooth drum off the front crossbeam.
Page 217 Auxiliary equipment Padfoot shells Changing/adjusting the smooth drum scrapers If they are worn-out to such an extent that sticking dirt is not removed from the roller drums/tyres during work any longer, the scrapers must be readjusted or replaced.
