3.7.3 Safety distances
Compaction work close to buildings can cause damage. For this reason, all potential impacts and vibrations have to be tested on surrounding buildings in advance.
The relevant rules and regulations for measuring, evaluating, and reducing vibration emissions — especially the DIN 4150-3 — must be considered.
Wacker Neuson accepts no liability for any damage to buildings.
3.8 General safety instructions - combustion engines
The following instructions must be adhered to:
Before starting work, check the engine to ensure there are no leaks and/or
cracks in the fuel lines, tank, and fuel cap.
Do not use a defective engine. Replace damaged parts immediately.
The preset engine speed must not be adjusted. This could lead to engine
damage.
Make sure that the exhaust system of the engine is free of debris. Fire haz-
ard!

5.1 Items supplied
The machine is delivered fully assembled and is ready for operation out of the
box.
Included in the delivery:
Vibratory plate
Starting crank (optional)
Operator’s manual
5.2 Application
The vibratory plate is used for the compaction of soils and is used in gardening
and landscaping, civil engineering and road and pavement construction.
5.3 Brief description
The vibratory plate is a machine that compacts soil.
The vibration required for compaction is produced by the exciter firmly connected
to the base plate. This exciter is designed as a central vibrator with aligned vib rations. Such a principle permits a change in the oscillation direction by turning the
eccentric weights.
Thus a continuous transition between compaction during advance travel, when
standing still and in reverse travel is possible. This process is controlled hydraulically with the control handle on the centre pole head.
The drive motor secured to the upper mass drives the exciter. The torque is firmly
transmitted via the centrifugal clutch and the exciter V-belt.
The centrifugal clutch interrupts at low engine speed the flow of power to the exciter and thus permits flawless idling of the drive motor.
The automatic V-belt pulley combined with the centrifugal clutch ensure s during
operation an optimum voltage of the exciter V-belt and relief of the exciter V-belt
when moving or when transporting the machine.
In addition, the automatic V-belt pulley automatically adjusts itself according to
the wear on the V-belt edges and thus makes the entire drive from the engine to
the exciter maintenance-free.
The speed of the drive motor can be varied continuously, operated remotely by
the throttle control lever and locked in the idle setting. Upper mass and base
plate are connected to each other by 4 vibration rubber mounts. This damping
prevents transmission of very high frequencies to the upper mass. Thus the functionality of the drive motor is maintained despite a high compaction performance.
5 Construction and function
100_0202_sf_0006.fm 27
The drive motor operates according to the Diesel principle, is started electrically
through a gear and pinion starter, sucks combustion air through a dry air filter
and is air-cooled.
To facilitate the starting procedure (at very cold temperatures, with manual start)
the drive motor has a decompression system. It causes the compression during
cranking to be very low, but steadily increases after a few turns and then switches over to full compression.
Operating hour meter (optional)
On the operating hour meter, the operating hours of the machine can be accurately read, thereby allowing for better observance of the maintenance intervals.
Extension plates (optional)
For larger working areas, additional mounting plates are recommended.
Compatec - compaction display (optional)
The Compatec compaction display is attached to the battery cover and is within
the operator’s line-of-sight. The display, consisting of eight LEDs that adapt to
light conditions, shows the relative compaction progress during driving through
successive illumination. When the number of illuminated LED's stops increasing,
then no further compaction can be achieved with the unit in use. The operator
can finish his work and avoids unnecessary passes or an over compaction of the
soil.
An additional function is the overload display if the machine is operated on too
hard of a substrate. The operator is notified of this through rapid flashing of all
eight LED's.
The Compatec compaction display is suitable for all good and mixed (well graded) soils.
Notice: The Compatec compaction display only serves to assist in soil com-
paction and does not replace professional measurement of soil density
by a professional.
