OVERVIEW
Equipment description
The illustration gives an overview of the main parts
and components of the hydraulic attachment. Actual
details may differ.
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
A. The hydraulic compactor is connected to the
carrier by the adapter plate. The adapter plate
is not included in the scope of supply of the
hydraulic compactor.
B. The outer housing protects the hydraulic
motor and the rotor housing. The adapter plate
is connected to the outer housing.
C. The rotor runs inside the rotor housing.
D. The hydraulic motor drives the rotor.
E. The tamper plate is fitted to the rotor housing.
It transfers the force to the material to be
compacted.
F. The rotor housing is suspended in the outer
housing through the rubber isolators. The
rubber isolators dampen the impact force
being transferred to the carrier and the carrier
driver.
G. The rotating mechanism (only HC 350 - HC
1055) enables the hydraulic compactor to be
rotated endlessly in a clockwise and/or
anticlockwise direction. The rotating
mechanism is not included in the scope of
supply of the hydraulic compactor.
Function
The hydraulic compactor compacts hard core
(granulate material), clay soil and organic soils. The
impact force is transferred to the ground by means
of the tamper plate working at a high frequency. Any
enclosed water and air are pressed out to compact
the ground.
Its construction enables the hydraulic compactor to
be used in trenches and on slopes where roll-type
compactors cannot be used.
The impact force of the hydraulic compactor can also
be used to drive sheeting, supports or uprights into
the ground.
Hydraulic compactors HC 350 to HC 1055 can be
rotated endlessly if they are fitted with rotating
mechanisms (optionally available).
The carrier driver activates the carrier function
»Rotate cutter«. Oil is supplied to the hydraulic
motor of the rotating mechanism, causing the
hydraulic compactor to turn.
The endless rotation is enabled by a rotary
transmission.
Signs / labels
WARNING Missing warnings
The name plate and the labels on the hydraulic
attachment contain important information about the
hydraulic attachment and for personal safety. A
missing warning can lead to overlooking or
misinterpretation of possible risks and cause personal
hazards. The signs and labels must always be clearly
legible.
►Immediately replace any defective name plates
and labels.
►Use the spare parts list to order new name plates
and labels.

WARNING Hot hydraulic oil squirting out
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. If
hydraulic connections come loose or are
disconnected, hydraulic oil will squirt out under high
pressure. Hydraulic oil squirting out can lead to
serious injury.
►Depressurise the hydraulic system before
connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic circuits
of the hydraulic attachment (see chapter
Depressurising the hydraulic system).
NOTICE Environmental damage due to hydraulic
oil
Hydraulic oil is environmentally harmful and must
not penetrate the ground or enter the water table or
water supplies.
►Collect any hydraulic oil which escapes.
►Dispose of it in accordance with the applicable
environmental regulations.
Media/consumables
The following consumables are used when operating
the hydraulic attachment:
Mineral hydraulic oil
All hydraulic oil brands prescribed by the carrier
manufacturer are also suitable for use when
operating the hydraulic attachment.
However, the oil should comply with viscosity class
HLP 32 or higher.
In summer and in hot climates, oils of viscosity class
HLP 68 or higher should be used.
In all other respects the regulations of the carrier
manufacturer are to be taken into consideration.

Special conditions apply to using the hydraulic
attachment at low temperatures (see section Low
ambient temperature).
♦Check the oil filter!
An oil filter must be integrated in the return circuit of
the hydraulic system. The maximum mesh width
allowed for the oil filter is 50 microns; it must have a
magnetic separator.
Non-mineral hydraulic oil
NOTICE Mixed hydraulic oil
Never mix mineral and non-mineral hydraulic oils!
Even small traces of mineral oil mixed in with
non-mineral oil can result in damage to both the
hydraulic attachment and the carrier. Non-mineral
oil loses its biodegradability.
►Only use one type of hydraulic oil.
If you are using non-mineral oil it is imperative that
the name of the oil in use be indicated when returning
the hydraulic attachment for repair.
In order to protect the environment or on technical
grounds, hydraulic oils are currently being used which
are not classified as HLP mineral oils.
Before using hydraulic oils of this kind it is imperative
to ask the carrier manufacturer whether operations
with such fluids are possible.
Our hydraulic attachments are basically designed
for use with mineral oils. Consult the Atlas Copco
Customer Center/Dealer in your area before using
other hydraulic oils approved by the carrier
manufacturer. Following initial assembly and after
any workshop repairs, our hydraulic attachments are
subjected to a test run on a test bed powered by
mineral oil.

♦When handling oils observe the safety instructions
that apply to these products.
♦Replace the oil in the PermanentLube system by
Atlas Copco Cobra & Compactor Impact-Oil, part
number 9234 0012 03.
