Operating Instructions

REASONS FOR COMPACTION

Soil, which has been disturbed or new infill, subbase and blacktop, will have small voids or air pockets which, if not compacted, will lead to one or more problems occurring.

  1. As traffic crosses the surface of an uncompacted area, the material is compressed. This leads to subsidence of the top surface as the material fills the voids.
  2. A similar situation occurs with static loads on uncompacted ground. The load (e.g. a building) will sink.
  3. Materials with voids are more susceptible to water seepage, leading to erosion. Water ingress may also cause the soil to expand during freezing temperatures and contract during dry spells. Expansion and contraction is a major cause of damage to building foundations and normally leads to the structure requiring underpinning.
    Compaction increases the density of the material and therefore increases its load-bearing capacity. Reduces air voids and therefore reduces the risk of subsidence, expansion and contraction, due to ingress of water

APPLICATIONS

Applications/materials fall into three categories:

  1. Cohesive materials (less than 20% granular) e.g. clay, silt & heavy soils.
  2. Granular materials (more than 20% granular) e.g. hardcore, sand & light soils.
  3. Bituminous materials e.g. asphalt (tarmac), cold lay (bituminous emulsion products).
  • The chart shows the HAUC specifications for layer depth and number of passes for Dual Force plates. If standard machines are used, optimum compaction can not be guaranteed, however, if layer depths are reduced and the number of passes increased, results can be improved.
  • The moisture content of cohesive & granular materials is critical to effective compaction. If granular material is too dry it will flow around the plate instead of compacting.
  • If the moisture content is too high the material may dry out after compaction and shrinkage will occur.

---|---
| 40mm| 60mm| 80mm| 100mm| 150mm
Cohesive Materials | 2| 4| 5| 6| Reduce Layer Thickness
Granular Materials*| 2| 3| 4| 5| 9
Bituminous| 6| 10| 12| | Reduce Layer Thickness

  • Usually placed in 100mm minimum layer so not specified by HAUC.
  • The nature of cohesive materials makes plate compaction difficult. Optimum compaction is not guaranteed and not recommended by HAUC

COMPACTION SPECIFICATION

  • Various methods have been employed in the past to specify the compaction required for various applications. The factors to consider are material properties, layer thickness, pressure applied, vibration and number of passes. A greater understanding of how compaction works has led to new compaction specifications being introduced. The most up-to-date specification is part of the U.K.’s NRSWA (New Roads & Street Works Act). Civil Engineers are now adopting these specifications to ensure good compaction for all site work.

NRSWA (HAUC specification).

  • The specification was compiled by HAUC (Highways Authorities & Utilities Committee). The ‘New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, set a new standard for road repairs and reinstatements in the UK. It covers materials, methods, equipment and safety when carrying out reinstatements on roads and footways. The reason for the act is to ensure repairs and reinstatements are carried out to a higher standard and ultimately last longer. This in turn will reduce the need for costly remedial work and reduce traffic delays.

There are two categories specified for plate compactors.

  1. 1400 to 1800kg/m?
  2. Over 1800kg/m?
  • These figures relate to the static pressure applied by the machine
  • NOTE: No standard single-direction plate compactors comply with this minimum specification. For highways work always use a ‘Dual Force’ plate compactor.

DUAL FORCE

  • Altrad Belle studied the act and then developed equipment to enable contractors to comply with the act’s requirements. The NRSWA legislation requires that compaction equipment meets the minimum specification. By purchasing an Altrad Belle ‘Dual Force’ plate, you are immediately complying with this part of the act. To comply with the specification and maintain surface tolerance, Altrad Belle ‘Dual Force’ base plates are divided into two areas providing two stages of compaction.ALTRAD-PCLX-32-Belle-Compaction-Plates-FIG-8
  • Stage 1 The full base area compacts the material like a standard machine.
  • Stage 2 The base rises onto the ‘Dual Force’ section to give 3 to 4 times the compaction force of standard plates.

STOPPING THE ENGINE – HONDA GX120

  • Suitche fue tap to the CLOSED position.
  • Turn the fuel tap to the CLOSED position.

STARTING THE ENGINE – HONDA GX120

  • Open the fuel tap by moving the fuel ON / OFF lever fully to the right.
  • If starting the engine from cold, set the choke ON by moving the choke lever fully to the left. If restarting a warm engine, the choke is usually not required, however, if the engine has cooled to a degree, partial choke may be required.
  • Turn the engine ON / OFF switch clockwise to the “† position.
  • Set the throttle to the idle position by moving the throttle lever fully to the right.
  • Taking a firm hold of the frame with one hand, grasp the recoil starter handle
  • Taking ate no to i resisters rope ely out, put ane state ancestarter return.
  • Repeat until the engine fires.
  • Once the engine fires gradually set the choke lever to the OFF position by moving it to the right.
  • If the engine fails to fire after several attempts, follow the Troubleshooting Guide.
  • To stop the engine, set the throttle to idle and turn the engine ON / OFF switch anticlockwise to the ‘O’ position.

TRANSPORTATION

  • WARNING SERIaNe the engine running whist transporting or moving the plate compactor, even if only a
  • Transporting the machine is a 2-person operation. Use the provided Hand Lifting Points (See Machine Description section)
  • DO NOT use a Mechanical Hoist on the Hand Lifting Points.
  • Where it is necessary to use lifting equipment to transport the machine, make sure the lifting equipment has a WLL (Working
  • Load Limit) suitable for the weight of the machine (see Technical Data section). Attach suitable chains or slings ONLY to the lifting point on the top of the machine.
  • If using the optional Wheel Kit attachment to transport the machine ALWAYS ensure the wheels are fully engaged underneath the baseplate before moving.
  • SAUTION ALWAYS Ul the machine backwards when using the optional Wheel Ki aachment.

OPERATING THE MACHINE

  • Having carried out the Pre-Start Checks listed in the Safety Instructions section of this manual, you may start the power unit.
  • The vibrator will not only cause the baseplate to vibrate but will also cause the machine to travel forward. During normal operation, you should not have to push the machine forward 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 machine’s direction of travel. If necessary, use a suitable rope attached to the machine at a low point on the chassis, to allow a helper to take part of the machine’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.

Storage

  • If the machine is not to be used for a long period of time it must be stored correctly to prevent deterioration or damage occurring during this period.
  • Store the machine in a clean dry building with plenty of ventilation if possible. If you can only store it outdoors, cover it with a waterproof sheet/tarpaulin.

PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR STORAGE

  1. Clean the machine and remove all unwanted material/debris.
  2. Dry the machine to remove any moisture.
  3. Apply grease to any moving parts/grease points.
  4. Examine the machine for any worn/damaged parts. Replace if necessary.

STORING THE MACHINE

  1. Place the machine safely on stable, level ground. ENSURE there is sufficient room around the machine to be able to carry out any service or maintenance procedures during the storage period.
  2. Loosen the operating handle clamp/release knobs and place the handle in the storage position (see below)

To prevent the build-up of rust and to minimise the risk of seizures, periodically operate all machine functions during storage.
