2.1 Short description

The compactor CPF14W is suitable for repairing asphalted surfaces, for small compacting jobs and
for preparing green areas
As with all other NORTON products, the operator will immediately appreciate the attention given to
detail and quality of materials used in construction. The machine and its component parts are
assembled to high standards assuring long life and minimum maintenance.

2.2 Purpose of use

The vibration required for tamping is produced by the exciter which is on the compacting plate.
The engine starts the exciter and the torque is transmitted by the centrifugal clutch and by the belt.
In order to allow the idling of the drive engine, the centrifugal clutch, at low engine speeds, interrupts
the flow of power to exciter. The compactor must always be used with the gas handle in the
“OPERATIVE” position.
The engine supporting and the compacting plates are connected by 4 shockmount, which are
mounted to avoid that vibrations reach the operator.
Only use the machine for the purpose for which it is intended.

Handle (1)

Jig welded steel construction is connected by 4 shockmount on the frame of the machine to reduce
the vibrations reach the operator

Belt drive and belt cover (2)

A centrifugal clutch inside the engine pulley drives the gear shaft through V-Belts. It allows to

Water tank (3)

Resistant plastic water tank

Thermal Engine (4)

The machine has a GX160 Honda engine with 4,8HP (3.6kw) or Hatz 1B20 with 5 HP (3.7kw)

Lifting eye (5)

To lift the machine easily and safely, a lifting eye is located over the engine. This allows a balanced
lifting of the machine.

Eccentric element (6)

In the our compactors the system of eccentric elements has been optimized by moving the weight to
the right side of the axle, so that less weight counteracts the movement at start-up.
Less power is required to initiate the vibratory action, reducing energy consumption at start-up by
50% and thus using less fuel.

2.4 Technical DATA

2.4 VIBRATION MEASUREMENTS

The engine supporting and the compacting plates are connected by 4 shockmount, which are
mounted to avoid that vibrations reach the operator.
Products are tested for hand/arm vibration level in accordance with annex D prEN500-4:2001

The hand/harm vibration level is 8.9 m/s
The plate compactor has been tested on a “macadam” surface, produced with not cleaned stone
crusher grit, with 16 mm medium diameter (with components which have diameter that goes from 10
to 20 mm).

2.5 SOUND MEASUREMENTS

The product has been produced in accordance with the standard 2000/14/CE, procedure I annex VI.
Measured sound power level 104.2 [dB(A)] and guaranteed sound power level 108 [dB(A)] on a
significant equipment.
