WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY
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 machine, consult your supervisor or Altrad Belle.

are not clearly recognizable, and may cause personal injury or property damage, and possible death. If such unpredictable and
unrecognizable risks become apparent, the machine must be stopped immediately, and operator or his supervisor must take
appropriate measure to eliminate such risks. It is sometimes necessary that the manufacturer must be informed of such event for
future counter measuring.
ALWAYS keep the Operator’s Manual and any other manuals that accompany this machine to hand. Immediately replace any
manuals that may have been lost or are now illegible.
PRE-START CHECKS
The following Pre-start-up inspection must be performed before the start of each work session or after every four hours of use,

plenty of water. After that, IMMEDIATELY seek medical care.
• DO NOT allow children to use the Battery Pack. Store the Battery Pack out of the reach of children.
• DO NOT store the Battery Pack in a damp location. Doing so can cause a malfunction.

• The Battery Pack will deteriorate if it is repeatedly charged and discharged, as well as if it is stored and not used.
• As the Battery Pack deteriorates, its full-charge capacity decreases and the length of time it can be used shortens. Once the full-
charge capacity is reduced by deterioration, it cannot be recovered and cannot reach the charging capacity of a new Battery Pack.
• ALWAYS remove the battery pack from the power unit when carrying or checking it.
• ONLY charge the battery pack in a recommended charging unit.

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.

CAUTION
OPERATING THE MACHINE
Having carried out the Pre-Start Checks listed in the Safety Instructions section of this manual, you may start the power unit.
The vibrator will not only cause the baseplate to vibrate but will also cause the machine to travel forward. During normal operation you
should not have to push the machine forwards but allow it to travel at its own pace. The speed of travel will be determined by the
condition of the surface being compacted.
If the surface to be compacted is on a slope, great care must be taken when controlling the machine’s direction of travel. If
necessary, use a suitable rope attached to the machine at a low point on the chassis, to allow a helper to take part of the
machine’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.
