OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.1 DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
The vibration of the machine is generated by rotating cams in the vibrating unit, which is anchored to the
base of the compaction plate. The cams are arranged on two contrarotating shafts.
By varying the difference between the contrarotating cams, we can modify the composition of the force
generated in the exciter and therefore the direction of oscillation. In this way it is possible to make the
machine advance, remain in the same place or go backwards. This action is regulated in a constant,
progressive manner using the hydraulic control located in the head of the steering column.
The vibrating unit is activated by the machine's thermal motor, which is bolted to the engine plate. The
torque generated by the motor is transmitted to the vibrating unit by the centrifugal clutch to the motor outlet
and the V-belt connecting the two shafts. At low revolutions the centrifugal clutch is not activated, and
therefore it is possible to start up the motor without a load and leave the machine running with the motor
ticking over gently. Although the motor's rotation regime can be regulated by means of the accelerator
lever, the motor needs to be on maximum regime to avoid the clutch slipping.
en
The underside of the compaction plate is connected to the engine plate by means of four dampers that
reduce the vibrations in the upper part of the machine, thereby facilitating operations both for the user and
for the machine itself.
With the handlebar turned to the furthest position, the plate moves forward at maximum speed. When it is
moved backwards, the handlebar reduces the speed of the machine until it comes to a standstill. If the
handlebar continues to be pulled back, the compaction plate will start to travel in reverse, until it reaches
the limit of the handlebar, at which point the machine is moving in reverse at maximum speed.

5.2 APPLICATIONS

This plate compactor is suitable for compacting granular soils, gravel and cobblestones.Plates fitted with a
sprinkler can be used for compacting asphalt surfaces.
Typical applications for compacting soils with granular landfill in water mains, telephone networks, ditches
of average or normal width, around pipelines, foundations and paths or pavements for pedestrians and
bicylces.
Applications for compacting asphalt surfaces include patching and repairing potholes in the road.
