2.6 Compaction Work
- Put the soil compactor into operation (refer to paragraph 2.5).
As soon as the engine reaches its operating temperature:
- push the speed adjusting lever (12/2) into the full speed position.
Caution!
Compaction work is only allowed at full engine speed, otherwise the
centrifugal clutch may slip and cause increased wear.
Important!
As soon as the centrifugal clutch achieves the cutting-in speed, the
vibrator is automatically turned on.
Danger!
If obstructions (such as walls or trenches) are encountered, take care
that persons do not get crushed and that the machine does not slip out
of control.
Warning!
During work breaks, even if they are short, the soil compactor must be
put out of operation (refer to 2.7).
- Steer the soil compactor with the handle (12/1) into the desired direction.
2.7 Putting the Soil Compactor Out of Operation
Before work breaks and at the end of every day’s shift, the soil compactor
must be parked on a stable base which should be as horizontal as possible.
Warning!
If the soil compactor causes an obstruction when being parked,
precautionary measures must be taken in order to make the machine
visible. If the machine is parked on traffic roads, the safety precautions
required by the traffic regulations must be additionally observed.
Caution!
Never stop the engine while it is running at full speed, but let the engine
idle for some minutes.
