Vibratory plates are designed for compaction of all types of soils, including soil related sections for
compaction of trenches and areas - the machine without sprinkling. Machines are also designed for
compacting asphalt surfaces – the machine with sprinkling.

2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

When used with a plastic backing plate vibration can also be used for ground paving.

These vibratory plates have optimized centrifugal force and compaction area and thus reach optimal
compaction effect. The vibratory effect is ensured by non-directed eccentric which creates circular
vibration. The main working part - the base plate - is a structure made of welded steel. The vibrator is
bolted or welded to the base plate. The engine plate is mounted to the base plate through the rubber
mounts.
The vibratory plate is driven by a four-stroke single-cylinder air cooled engine. The engine is connected
with the vibrator by a drive belt, with a centrifugal clutch which disengages the drive at idle speed.

The operator controls the machine using its handle.
Special equipment to transport the chassis vibration plates, plastic mat compaction paving and operating
hours counter.

2.1. Basic technical data:

Vibration plates are characterized by one-way design with a comfortable cushioned handle and folding
ROPS, which protects the engine from damage and ease of handling.

Run the machine across the area to be compacted, keeping slightly overlapping lanes. For good
compaction, it is recommended to do 4 travels in each lane.

4.2. Operating the machine

For soil compaction, the best results will be reached when compacting by layers, each layer not thicker
than 20-30 cm of loose soil, depending on the type of soil.

Approximate compaction effect for compaction to 90% (95%) of Proctor Standard is shown in the
following table. For exact control of the degree of compaction, some method of compaction measurement
must be used.

TAB. Compaction effect

This table is valid for sand and gravel, considering 4
passes. For mixed soils derate by approx. 30%.

4.3. Turning the engine OFF

1. Set up the throttle control leer into the idle position. The centrifugal clutch gets disengaged and

vibration will stop.

4.4.3. Handling by forklift

If the machine is often handled with a forklift (for example when sending collection service), we attach a
variety of machine and send it together with a variety. For one machine is suitable for "small" range of
dimensions 0.8 x 0.6 m, two machines for a variety of standard EUR 1.2 x 0.8 m.

4.4.4. Transport

When transporting the machine must be adequately secured against overturning, falling or shifting to the
base.
The machine must be transported in an upright position.

4.4.5. Storage

Store the machine in place secured against theft and misuse. We recommend a dry sheltered place does
not affect the chemical substances and where there is excessive dust.
Before long-term storage engine first clean, repair the damaged areas and preserve the paint (including
the preservation of the motor). Clearly label the machine is conserved.

4.5. Special conditions of operation

Compaction at temperature below freezing is highly dependent on water content in the soil to be
compacted. Under such conditions, soil becomes harder and more difficult to compact. It is possible to
compact dry materials or rapidly compact fresh soil, before it gets frozen.

4.5.1. Operation at low ambient temperature

With increasing altitude, engine power decreases due t o changed oxygen content. Within certain extent,
it is possible to improve the engine power by installing different main nozzle and by adjusting the
carburetor (gasoline engines) or by adjusting the inj ection system (diesel engines). Should the machine
be operated in high altitudes (above 1500 m above sea level), contact the engine manufacturer to carry
out the adjustments.

4.5.2. Operation at high altitudes

In case that you intent to operate the machine in high altitudes in the time of purchase, consult the
manufacturer.

In case that the machine is operated in extremely dusty environment, it is recommended to shorten the
service intervals for cleaning or replacement of the air filter.

4.5.3. Operation in Dusty Environment
