Take the compactor to where it is required.

If using the 'Detachable' transport attachment to wheel the unit, tilt the compactor forward to raise the transport wheels off the

ground. Swing the transporter frame back, then across to disconnect it from the rear of the compactor. Place the transporter

frame somewhere safe until next required. For machines with the 'Fixed' transporter tilt the machine forward, pull the

transporter rearwards and upwards, lower the machine to the floor and latch the transporter into the 'up' position.

Where it is necessary to use lifting equipment to position the compactor, make sure the lifting equipment has a WLL (Working

Load Limit) suitable for the compactors weight (see Technical Data section or the machine number plate). Attach

suitable chains or slings ONLY to the lifting point on the top of the compactor.

•

If the compactor is fitted with the water spray system and the application requires its use, check that the water outlet valve is

closed, then fill the water bottle with clean water.

•

Having carried out the checks listed in the 'pre start' section, you may start the engine.

The Altrad Belle 'PCX' range of compactors are fitted with a centrifugal clutch, this allows the engine to run at idle without

driving the vibrator.

As the engine speed is increased the clutch will engage and will drive the vibrator.

For correct operation, the engine speed should be set to maximum.

•

Set the throttle to maximum and use the control handle to steer or turn the compactor.

The vibrator will not only cause the baseplate to vibrate but will also cause it to travel forward. During normal operation you

should not have to push the compactor but allow it to travel at its own pace. The speed of travel will be determined by the

condition of the surface being compacted.

If the surface to be compacted is on a slope, great care must be taken when controlling the compactor's direction of travel. If

necessary, use a suitable rope attached to the compactor at a low point on the chassis, to allow a helper to take part of the

compactor's weight. Work up and down a slope not across.

•

Work the compactor over the surface in an organised pattern until the required compaction has been achieved.

Where there are a number of different layers to be compacted on top of each other, compact each layer individually.

•

To stop the compactor vibrating, set the throttle to idle.
