The Altrad Belle 'RPC' range of Reversible Plate Compactors are designed to give many years of trouble free operation. It is, however,
important that the simple regular maintenance listed in this section is carried out. It is recommended that an approved Altrad Belle
dealer carries out all major maintenance and repairs. Always use genuine Altrad Belle replacement parts, the use of spurious parts may
void your warranty.
Before any maintenance is carried out on the machine, switch off the engine. If working on a diesel engine, make sure that the stop
switch is in the stop position.
Always set the compactor on level ground to ensure any uid levels will be correctly read. Only use recommended oils
(see chart on following page).
Running In Period
When the compactor is rst used from new, the engine oil must be changed after the initial running in period (see engine
manufacturer's manual for full detail). The belt tension should be checked after 4 hours use.
Drive Belt
Remove the belt guard then check the belt tension by placing light nger pressure on the top of the belt, as near central between the
engine drive and gearbox pulley. The belt should de ect by approx. 10 to 15mm. If the belt tension requires adjustment, loosen the
setscrew on the Belt Tensioning device and slide to the right. Once set, retighten the setscrew and check belt tension a secong time.
Finally, replace the belt guard ensuring it is correctly and securely tted.
