SAFETY Information – [cont’d]
Operational Safety Program
The safe and efficient use of the Allied equipment
depends upon proper installation, operation,
maintenance and repair. Operational safety programs
must encompass all of these elements.
Accident prevention through operational safety
programs is most effective when the equipment
owner further develops the program by taking into
account his own experience with using and
maintaining equipment.
Developing such programs help minimize equipment
downtime, while maximizing service life and
performance. Most importantly, it will minimize the
risk of personal injuries.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Personal protection equipment (PPE) shall be made
available to any personnel operating or nearby the
equipment that may be exposed to hazards such as
falling, flying and splashing objects, or harmful dusts,
fumes, mists, vapors, or gases. Approved PPE, when
used correctly, helps protect against certain harmful
effects from exposure with the identified hazard.
Examples of PPE include safety eyewear, safety hat,
hearing protection, dust mask, safety footwear, and
gloves. (Shown Pictograms of PPE is not all-
inclusive).
Those responsible for administering PPE shall train
personnel with the proper selection and use of PPE
to protect against misuse.
Safety Guards and Protective Barriers
A safety guard is a physical barrier designed to
prevent access to danger areas. Guards are fitted 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.
Additional guarding, not included with the Allied
equipment, is necessary at the operator’s station to
protect the operator and other nearby personnel
against flying debris from material being cut or
demolished. Do not handle, demolish or cut material
overhead without proper guards installed.
Prevent accidental activation of the Allied work tool
by locating the control switch in a guarded area.
Compatibility and Use With Other Equipment
Allied work tools are designed to deliver satisfactory
performance over a broad range of equipment. In all
instances it first must be confirmed through adequate
research and testing, that the equipment is suitable to
operate the Allied work tool. The technical data as
well as information concerning connecting
requirements can be found in this manual and shall
be strictly observed.
Careful review of the equipment’s specifications
along with thorough knowledge of the system’s
operation, including hydraulic and electric is required.
If in doubt, and further assistance is required, it is the
responsibility of the equipment owner to contact their
authorized Allied dealer or Allied’s Product Support
Department.

4.0 Product Information
4.1 Description and Application - Typical
The Allied Skid-Pac is a skid-steer-mounted,
hydraulic powered, vibrating plate compactor. It is
used for soil compaction. Applications include backfill
compaction, base course preparation, finish surface
treatment and embankment buildup.
Specifically designed for skid-steers, installation of
the Skid-Pac requires no additional mounting or
hydraulic kits. It’s attached to the skid-steer in the
same manner as mounting a bucket. Power to
operate the Skid-Pac is provided by the skid-steer’s
auxiliary hydraulic circuit.
Suitable Skid-steers must have adequate lift and
hydraulic capacities to properly and safely operate
the Skid-Pac. Refer to the Specifications Table for
operating specifications and carrier requirements.
Contact your dealer or Allied if you have any
questions regarding the installation of this equipment.
4.2 Familiarization of Main Components
Fig. 4-1 Main Components Identified
Dynamic Assembly – Consists of the lower
assembly, eccentric mass, bearings and rubber
springs. The strength of vibration 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.
Suspension System – Rubber Springs mounted
between the Top Frame and Dynamic Assembly
isolate the vibratory energy from the carrier.
Top Frame – The Top Frame serves as the
connection point used to attach the Skid-Pac to the
coupler of the skid steer.
Control Valve – The Skid-Pac is standard equipped
with the multi-function control valve. Benefits 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:
Flow regulator – Protects the bearings from
excessive loads by limiting oil flow that can over-
speed the hydraulic motor.
Pressure control – Protects the hydraulic
components from over-pressure. This is factory
pre-set at the maximum operating pressure plus
200 psi (14 bar).
Anti-cavitation circuit - Controls deceleration of
the hydraulic motor and eccentric mass. Also
provides protection against motor damage if
circuits not equipped with an open return.
Return line check valve - Prevents reverse flow
to the hydraulic motor. Also provides a nominal
back-pressure to ensure the proper operation of
auxiliary valves, such as Allied’s AC40 and AC75
priority flow control valves.
4.3 Principle of Operation
The vibratory action and impulse force are generated
by the hydraulic motor turning the eccentric mass at a
high rate of speed. Efficient compaction of granular
type soils is further aided by the static pressure
exerted by the weight of the carrier pressing against
the rubber springs.

5.0 Product Selection and Application Guide
5.1 Match Compactor Type with Application
The Allied Skid-Pac is a vibratory plate compactor,
designed for mounting on skid-steer tired or track-
type vehicles. It is best suited for compacting
granular type soils by combining three actions:
Impulse Force
Vibration Frequency
Down Pressure (Static Weight)
Note: Optimum efficiency is achieved only through
proper operating techniques. How many passes it will
take, along with the duration, will vary with material
type and lift. Additional fill material and repositioning
of the carrier may be required to achieve a finished
surface.
5.1.2 Work Tool Compatibility with Carrier
The Allied work tool is designed to provide
satisfactory operation with reliable service life when
coupled with a compatible carrier. Balance the size of
the Allied work tool to the size of the carrier. If too
small for the carrier, the work tool can be damaged
by the carrier. Conversely, too large a work tool may
damage an undersized carrier.
Poorly-sized 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 inefficiencies
as longer running cycles result in loss of time,
increased energy consumption and component wear.
5.1.3 Lift Capacity - Know how the carrier is
equipped by identifying optional equipment and if any
modifications were made. Factors such as tracks,
counterweights, etc., all affect the lifting capacity of
the carrier. Also take into account any add-ons, such
as a quick attach coupler. Compare the specifications
from the carrier manufacture with those of the Allied
work tool.
5.1.4 Hydraulic Circuit - Select a carrier equipped
with an available auxiliary hydraulic circuit and
capable of delivering adequate flow and pressure
without loss of hydraulic power when the work tool is
activated. The pump must produce enough flow for
both the speed of the motor and the requirements of
the cylinders to maintain down pressure. For optimal
efficiency, allow for some ‘excess flow’ so that the
motor will not be under-sped. Allied recommends an
additional 20-40% be factored into the calculated
total flow for the motor to compensate for variables
such as plumbing restrictions and normal pump wear.

5.2 Auxiliary Hydraulic Circuit
CAUTION
Hydraulic circuits differ between
machines. Improper oil flow or pressure
can damage the Skid-Pac or carrier.
Only qualified personnel, having knowledge of the
machine’s systems, proper test equipment and tools
shall perform conversion set-up and adjustments.
The Allied Skid-Pac is a hydraulic-driven work tool
that is not self-powered. Satisfactory performance
centers on the hydraulic circuit of the host machine to
achieve flow 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 flow and
pressure settings.
Carefully follow all instructions, including those
provided by the machine manufacturer, when making
adjustments.
5.3 Auxiliary Hydraulic Conversions
Fig 5-1 Hydraulic Power Source from Host Machine
The host machines must be equipped with an
auxiliary circuit to supply hydraulic power to the work
tool.
Contact your local Allied dealer or the Allied Sales
Department for assistance with work tool selection or
with questions regarding hydraulic conversion.

8.0 Operation
8.1 Pre-operation Checks
IMPORTANT
Unsatisfactory performance and/or equipment
damage may result if operated below or above the
accepted specifications. The Skid-Pac is designed
to provide optimum performance with reliable
service at the oil flow and pressure specified in
Technical Data Table. Prior to its first use, it’s
important to test the carrier’s hydraulic circuit.
CAUTION
Repair or replace any damaged components prior to
operation. Do not operate Skid-Pac until all faults
are corrected.
For safe and proper operation, perform a thorough
daily inspection of the equipment before use.
Daily, before operating:
1. Ensure Skid-Pac is securely attached to the
carrier. Check mounting pins and hardware for
wear or damage.
2. Excessive dirt and debris on the Skid-Pac can
decrease performance and should be removed.
3. Inspect the following for damage:
Inspect rubber of spring mounts for cracks or
separation from end plate
Inspect hoses, seals, motor and valve for oil
leaks
Check for loose or missing fasteners
NOTE: Further maintenance details are located in
Section 9 of this manual.
8.2 Operation
CAUTION
Injury from flying debris. Do not
operate the Skid-Pac with workers in
close proximity of work zone.
Clear all personnel from work area
before the Skid-Pac is operated.
CAUTION
Injury from flying debris. Personal
protection equipment, including safety
eyewear, must be worn when operating
or servicing this equipment.
Prolonged exposure to high noise levels
may risk hearing impairment or loss.
Hearing protection must be worn when
equipment is in operation.
WARNING
Injury from falls into open excavations.
Establish pedestrian barriers around
open excavations. Ground vibrations
may collapse trench walls.
Excavations must be shored to meet federal, state
and local guidelines.
CAUTION
Never activate the Skid-Pac unless the operator is
seated in the operator’s seat and in full control of the
machine. Follow instructions in the operator's
manual provided with carrier.
1. Position carrier in-line with direction of work.
2. Position the Skid-Pac parallel to the work surface
and within view of the operator. The compaction
plate must be in full contact with the work surface
for maximum effectiveness.
3. Activate the Skid-Pac with the switch located in
the operator’s cab.
4. Use the carrier to push down on the Skid-Pac.
This will not only transfer the vibratory energy
more effectively to the soil but also provides a
static pressure which assists in the compaction.
5. The spring mounts can be stretched to
approximately one-half (1/2) their width.
IMPORTANT
Overstretching the rubber springs will contribute to
early spring failure. Stretch the spring mounts no
greater than approximately one-half (1/2) their width.
