Exposed belts and belt pulleys are dangerous and can cause serious injuries if
they pull in any part of your body or if parts are ejected.

Danger of falling over

Operate the machine so that it cannot tip over or fall down from bordered areas,
edges and steps.

Load-carrying capacity of the ground

Keep in mind that the load-carrying capacity of the earth to be compressed or
bed can be greatly reduced by the effects of vibration, for example near slopes.

Avoiding crushing
When operating the machine, pay particular attention to avoid being squeezed
between the machine and an obstacle. Always look in the direction of travel!

12 Operator's manual
DPU 100-70 2 Safety

Compacting on slopes
The following points must be observed if you plan to compact inclined surfaces
(slopes, escarpments):
„ Always stand above the machine on a slope.
„ Start at the bottom of a slope (slopes that can be easily managed in an up-
ward direction can be safely traveled in a downward direction also).
„ Never stand in a position where the machine could possibly fall. A slipping or
tipping machine can cause serious injuries.

Not exceeding the maximum tilt position

„ Do not exceed the maximum tilt position (see chapter Technical Data).
„ Only operate the machine at maximum tilt for short periods of time.
If you exceed the maximum tilt, the engine lubrication system will fail and thus
inevitably damage important engine parts.

Check the effects of vibration

Compacting work in the vicinity of buildings can lead to structural damage. For
this reason you must always check the possible effects of vibrations on surround-
ing buildings in the run-up to work.
You must take the following points into special consideration when evaluating the
effects of vibration:
„ Vibration behavior, sensitivity and resonance frequency of surrounding build-
ings.
„ Distance of the buildings from the vibrationsite (= worksite).
„ Condition of the soil.
You may need to carry out measurements to determine the vibration speed.
You must also comply with the relevant guidelines and regulations, particularly
DIN 4150-3.
The foundation must also have sufficient load-bearing capacity to withstand the
compaction energy. In case of doubt involve a soil mechanics specialist in the
evaluation.
Wacker Neuson is not liable for any structural damage.

2.7 Safety during the operation of combustion engines

Checking for signs of damage

Check the engine while switched off for leaks and cracks in the fuel line, tank and
fuel cap at least once per work shift.

2. Description
2.1 Dimensions

2.2 Recommendations on compaction

2.2.1 Ground conditions

The max. compaction depth depends on several factors relating to the
ground condition, such as moisture, grain distribution etc,
it is therefore not possible to specify exact values.
Recommendation: In each case determine the max. compaction
depth with compaction tests and soil samples.
2.2.2 Compaction on slopes
The following points are to be observed when compacting on sloped
surfaces (slopes, embankments):
∗ Only approach gradients from the bottom (a gradient which can be
easily overcome upwards, can also be compacted downwards without
any risk).
∗ The operator must never stand in the direction of descent.
∗ The max. gradient of 25o must not be exceeded.
A tilt in excess of this angle could lead to a stopping of the engine due
to the automatic low oil shut-off system. A restarting of the engine can
only take place after the valve lever at the oil filter housing has been
actuated once.

 Description

Right ! Wrong!

2.3 Compaction without extension plates

If the vibration plates is used without extension plates, screw set of

protective screws (8 pes) into the threaded boreholes situated in the
lower mass, in order to avoid threads from being damaged.

2.4 Max. admissible inclination

T01009GB.fm 23
Description

2.5 Description of function

2.5.1 The vibration required for compaction is generated via the exciter (6)
which is firmly connected to the base plate (5). The exciter (6) has
been designed as a centrally mounted exciter with single plane
(directional) oscillations. This principle allows for the changing over of
the direction of the oscillations by changing the relative position of the
eccentric weights (12). Said principle also makes it possible to pass
from forward travel to reverse travel motion.

Forwards Reverse

2.5.2 This procedure is hydraulically controlled by way of the operating

control handle (7) situated at the upper end of the center pole (8) and
an electrically operated disable switch (9), which receives a switch
signal from a roll touch switch (10) placed at the center pole head. An
oil flow governor valve (15) supplies the steering line with a partial oil
flow.

T01009GB.fm 24
 Description

2.5.3 The exciter (6) is driven by an hydraulic motor (14). The oil flow
required for the motor (14) comes from the pump (13), which in turn is
driven by the drive engine (1). The oil cooler (2) cools the hydraulic oil.

2.5.4 The rpm's of the drive engine (1) can be adjusted by way of the remote
throttle lever (16) (normally in the full throttle position).

2.5.5 The upper mass (11) and the base plate (5) are connected to each
other by way of 4 vibration damping shock mounts (17). The damping
effect reduces to a high degree the vibrations being transmitted from
the base plate (5) to the upper mass (11), thereby protecting the
engine and simultaneously providing for an easy maneuverability of
the machine by the operator.

T01009GB.fm 25
Transport to work site
3. Transport to work site

Conditions:
∗ To transport the vibration plate, only use suitable lifting equipment with
a minimum load-bearing capacity of 800 kg.
∗ Always switch off engine before transporting the machine!
∗ Only attach suitable tackle at the central lifting point (18) provided. The
central lifting point is located exactly above the centre of gravity of the
machine. The central lifting point can be displaced rearwards (19),
given an application in which the height of the machine is of
importance (torque wrench setting = 85 Nm).
∗ Be sure to tie down the machine at the appropriate points during
transportation on transport vehicles.
Note: Also observe the regulations in the “safety instructions“.

5.2 Oil bath air cleaner
Examination of dirt accumulation within the transparent preliminary
filter (cyclone); Remove clamp if cleaning is necessary, then off the
cyclone and tap clean..

Cyklone
Control and oil quantities:
The cover of the air cleaner must be removed for an oil level check.
Open both clamps for this purpose. The oil volume has been defined
by the engine manufacturer (0,3 Liter 10W40). For this purpose a
stamped marking for the oil level has been included at the cover of the
oil bath filter. For all practical purposes it is easier to determine the
quantity of oil by way of the borings included in the ring integrated in
the cover.
The poil quantities have been defined as follows:
∗ Minimum -Oil up to lower edge of boring
∗ Standard -Oil up to upper edge of boring
∗ Maximum -Oil up to upper edge of ring
Attention: Do not fill oil above maximum mark under any
circumstances.
