• Take the compactor to where it is required.
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 serial plate). Attach suitable chains
or slings ONLY to the lifting point on the top of the compactor.
• Having carried out the checks listed in the 'Pre start' section, you may start the engine.
The Belle Group 'RPC' range of compactors are fi tted with a centrifugal clutch, this allows the engine to run at idle without driving
the gearbox.
As the engine speed is increased the clutch will engage and will drive the gearbox. For correct operation, the engine speed
should be set to maximum.
• Set the throttle to maximum and use the control handle for direction and to steer or turn the compactor.
The control handle has been designed so that when it is being used in reverse and the operator lets go for any reason, the
handle automatically moves into forward mode. This is a signifi cant safety feature of the machine.
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.
Caution must be used when operating the compactor in reverse. Ensure that there are no obstructions or trip hazards when
operating in reverse.
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. To stop the engine refer to the relevant start / stop procedure.
