Safe Disposal.
Instructions for the protection of the environment.
The machine contains valuable materials. Take the
discarded apparatus and accessories to the
relevant recycling facilities.
Soil, which has been disturbed or new in ll, subbase and blacktop, will have small voids or air pockets which, if not compacted, will
lead to one or more problems occurring.
1. As traf c crosses the surface of an uncompacted area, the material is compressed. This leads to subsidence of the top
surface as the material lls 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.
For your own personal protection and for the safety of those around you, please read and ensure you fully understand the following
safety information. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that he/she fully understands how to operate this equipment safely.
If you are unsure about the safe and correct use of the 'PCX 60A' Plate compactor, consult your supervisor or Altrad Belle.
