prevent access to danger areas. Guards are tted to
the Allied equipment to protect against unsafe
situations that could not be eliminated through design
measures. Guards are only effective when properly
installed and in place. Guards shall not be removed
unless for the purpose of inspection and service of
components. Reinstall all guards after service or
adjustments are completed.
Where it was not possible to prevent an unsafe
situation by means of a guard, safety messages
appear on the equipment, warning personnel of a
recognized hazard.
Do not operate the work tool without proper guards
installed. Additional guarding, not included with the
Allied equipment, is necessary at the operator’s
station to protect the operator and other nearby
personnel against ying debris from material being
processed by the work tool.
Prevent accidental activation of the Allied work tool
by locating the control switch in a guarded area.

4.0 Product Information
4.1 Description
The Allied Ho-Pac® is a hydraulic powered, vibratory
plate compactor and driver. It is designed for
mounting on mobile equipment with hydraulic booms,
such as rubber tired or track-type construction
vehicles. The boom mounted Ho-Pac reaches out to
work anywhere the machine can reach and allows
the operator to keep a safe distance from the work
tool.
4.1.2 Application and Use - Typical
The Ho-Pac is used for soil compaction. Applications
include backll compaction, base course preparation,
nish surface treatment and embankment buildup.
The Ho-Pac can also be an effective sheet or pile
driver. Vibration energy is transferred through the
sheet or pile to the soil. Soils with 50% or more
granular content are “liquefied” by the vibration,
which breaks the skin friction, allowing the sheet or
pile to penetrate more easily. Further information is
available in the “Compaction Handbook”. To request
a copy, contact your local dealer or Allied’s Customer
Service. Ask for part number 103392.
4.2 Familiarization of Main Components
Fig. 4-1 Main Components Identied
1. Dynamic Assembly – Consists of the eccentric
mass, bearings and rubber springs. The housing
weldment with weld-on compaction plate is standard.
2. Suspension System – Rubber Springs mounted
between the Top Frame and Dynamic Assembly
isolate the vibratory energy from the carrier.
3. Top Frame – The Top Frame serves as the
connection point used to attach the Ho-Pac to the
stick / linkage of the carrier.
4. Control Valve – A multi-function valve is used to
control the motor. Benets include optimized
operation with improved reliability of critical
components such as the motor and bearings.
NOTE:The valve is factory pre-set and requires no
further adjustments.
The control valve performs the following functions:
xFlow regulator – Protects the bearings from
excessive loads by limiting oil ow that can over-
speed the hydraulic motor.
xPressure control – Protects the hydraulic
components from over-pressure. This is factory
pre-set at the maximum operating pressure plus
200 psi (14 bar).
xAnti-cavitation circuit - Protects the motor
against damage if the return circuit is not set up
with an unrestricted, free-flowing open return.
Also, controls deceleration of the hydraulic motor
and eccentric mass.
xReturn line check valve – Protects the motor
against damage from reverse ow. Also provides
a nominal back-pressure to ensure proper
operation of Allied’s AC40 and AC75 priority ow
control valves.
4.3 Principle of Operation
The vibratory action and impulse force are generated
from the hydraulic motor turning the eccentric mass
at a high rate of speed. Vibrating frequency and the
strength is affected by the rotation speed of the
motor, weight of the eccentric mass and the off-
center distance between eccentric mass and shaft.
The vibratory action and impulse force is transferred
through the attached compaction plate.
Efcient compaction of granular type soils is further
aided by the downward static pressure exerted by the
weight of the carrier pressing against the rubber
springs.

5.0 Product Selection and Application Guide
5.1 Match Type of Compactor to the Application
The Allied Ho-Pac is a vibratory plate compactor,
designed for mounting on mobile equipment with
hydraulic booms, such as rubber tired or track-type
construction vehicles. It is best suited for compacting
granular type soils by combining three actions:
xImpulse Force
xVibration Frequency
xDown Pressure (Static Weight)
5.1.2 Match to Compatible Size Carrier
The Allied work tool is designed to provide
satisfactory operation with reliable service life when
teamed with a compatible carrier. Balance the size of
the Ho-Pac with the size of the carrier. If too small for
the carrier, the compactor will be damaged by the
carrier. Conversely, too large a compactor can
damage an undersized carrier.
5.1.3 Other Considerations
xReach - Select a carrier size having sufcient
reach to compact the deepest area of the trench
or excavation. This will also help minimize the
frequency of repositioning the carrier.
xLift Capacity - Know how your machine is
equipped and if any modications have been
made. Factors such as boom type, stick length,
undercarriage, tracks, counterweights, etc., all
affect the lifting capacity of the carrier. Also take
into account any add-ons, such as a quick attach
coupler. Consult the carrier manufacturer's
manual for specications.
xHydraulic Circuit - Select a carrier equipped
with a one-way hydraulic circuit and unrestricted
free owing return. It must maintain adequate
ow and pressure without loss of hydraulic power
to the Ho-Pac while the carrier applies down-
pressure. If not, motor speed slows and soil
density targets won't be reached.
Undersized compactors (as well as underperforming
compactors) are less economical to use because
compaction is limited to smaller lifts and require
additional passes. This generates other inefciencies
as longer running cycles result in loss of time,
increased energy consumption and component wear.
Optimum efciency is achieved only when proper
operating technique is employed. How many passes
it will take, along with the duration, will vary with
material type and lift. Additional ll material and
repositioning of the carrier may be required to
achieve a nished surface.
5.2 Auxiliary Hydraulic Circuit
CAUTION
Hydraulic circuits differ between
machines. Improper oil ow or pressure
can damage the Ho-Pac or carrier.
Only qualied personnel, having knowledge of the
machine’s systems, proper test equipment and tools
should perform conversion set-up and adjustments.
The Allied Ho-Pac is a hydraulic-driven work tool that
is not self-powered. Satisfactory performance centers
on the hydraulic circuit of the host machine to deliver
proper ow and pressure requirements.
Generally, most machines will require some degree
of conversion to make use of their hydraulic power.
Conversions to machines equipped with a factory or
dealer installed auxiliary circuit, however, may require
little more than minor adjustments to ow and
pressure settings.
Carefully follow all instructions, including those
provided by the machine manufacturer, when making
adjustments.
5.3 Allied Auxiliary Conversion Kits
Fig 5-1 Allied Conversion Kit with AC-Series Valve
Allied conversion kits are available for almost any
carrier. For machines without an auxiliary hydraulic
circuit, the kit may include an "AC" series valve.
These solenoid-operated valves will control ow and
pressure to the work tool.
Requests for further information or assistance with
Ho-Pac selection or conversion kits should be
directed to your Allied dealer or by contacting Allied
Sales or Product Support Departments.
