DESCRIPTION Description of function The vibration required for compaction is produced by the exciter (5) which is firmly joinded to the lower mass (4). This exciter (5) is designed as a central vibrator with aligned vibrations. Such a principle permits the direction of vibration to be changed by turning the eccentric weights (13). In this way an infinitely variable transition between vibration in forward motion, at standstill and in reverse motion is possible.
TRANSPORT TO WORK SITE, RECOMMENDATIONS ON COMPACTION Transport to work site Conditions: - To transport the vibration plate, use only suitable lifting equipment with a minimum load-bearing capacity of 250 kg. - Only attach suitable tackle at the central lifting point (15) provided. - Always tie down the vibratory plate by the protective frame (14) and latch the center pole in place during transport of the vibratory plate on the loading area of a transport vehicle.
