REV 8/26/2014
Congratulations on your purchase of this ne INDECO product. To best utilize the advanced
technology engineered into our attachments, we recommend you take the time to famil-
iarize yourself with this manual and the attachment. The information in this manual will
ensure long life, high productivity and minimum downtime from this attachment. Because
we want you to be pleased with your decision to purchase our products, compactor owners
should strictly adhere to the information and technical specications contained within this
manual.
The INDECO Hydraulic Compactor is simply a machine, and like any other machine, is de-
signed to perform within specied guidelines. The compactor takes the hydraulic energy
created by the carrier pumps (excavator, tractor loader backhoe, etc.) and converts this
energy into mechanical or kinetic energy. Therefore, the perfect match of hydraulic compac-
tor to carrier is essential in order to produce maximum performance of the compactor. If the
hydraulic energy (oil pressure, oil ow and return oil pressure between carrier and the com-
pactor) is outside the INDECO specications contained herein, then the compactor’s me-
chanical energy will also be incorrect. Statistics show that 90% of all compactor problems
can be traced back to incorrect mechanical or hydraulic installation to the carrier.
While every attempt has been made by INDECO to manufacture a superior product, we
cannot install the compactor. It is up to the dealer to ensure that compactors are installed
within the enclosed correct parameters for their particular carrier.
To further ensure maximum productivity and longevity of INDECO compactors,
we recommend:
• Adherence to INDECO’s daily, weekly and annual compactor maintenance
programs (enclosed)
• Regular replacement of carrier hydraulic lters (especially in dusty conditions)
• Always check compactor circuit ows and pressures when the carrier is changed
• Annual checks of compactor circuit ows and pressures
If problems with the compactor do occur, we have made every attempt to include any even-
tuality in this Owner’s Manual. Most problems can be easily remedied due to the cause-
and-eect nature of these machines. We have also done our best to ensure correctness of
the information within. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to update this manual
subject to the technological development of the product and service.

REV 8/26/2014
Major compactor components are heavy. Always use an adequate lifting device.
Never mount the compactor on a carrier that cannot adequately handle the
compactor weight.
For nighttime operation, the carrier should oer adequate lighting for safe operation
during compacting, repositioning of transporting (European harmonized standard
EN-500-0 paragraph 5.1).
Never use the compactor as part of a lifting device, additional weight could cause the
carrier to tip over or cause damage to the compactor components
Be cautious of ying metal particles when striking any hardened parts with a hand
held tool.
Operate the compactor aware of the eects the vibrations may have on trench walls
and never operate the compactor in a trench with personal working nearby in the
trench at the same time.
Never service or work on the compactor in an open trench of other unsafe area.
Always clean up oil spills.
Do not over compact near buried utilities or foundations; serious damage to utilities
or foundations could result.
Keep personnel clear of the full range of swing, reach, height, depth of carrier boom
while operating or positioning the compactor. During standby periods, always lower
carrier boom so the compactor rests rmly on the ground and turn o the carrier
engine.

REV 8/26/2014
The IHC250 hydraulic motor is equipped with a relief valve that limits the maximum operating pressure of
the system. The check valve allows hydraulic oil to bypass from the return side of the motor to the supply
side of the motor. This is a safety feature to prevent premature failure of the motor if the compactor is shut-
o abruptly at high speed (full ow).
The case drain only needs to be connected when the circuit-return pressure exceeds the maximum allowable
pressure. Install a hose from the case drain port on the motor to the hydraulic tank on the carrier.
NOTE: The Motor Relief Valve is preset at the factory. For any service issues with the valve, contact the
Indeco North America Service Department.

V COMPACTOR INSTALLATION
Installation Procedures for INDECO Hydraulic Compactors
Prepping the Carrier.
Step one: Installing the Flow meter
Install a Hydraulic Flow-meter into the Auxiliary Circuit that will be used to run the Compator.
The Flow meter should be installed in place of the Compactor and not in line with the
Compactor. Also tee a pressure port into the return line if your Flow meter does not have
a separate gauge on its Outlet.
Step two:
With the Restrictor-valve on the Flow-meter turned to the fully open position, (fully closed on
machines with closed center Hydraulics.) Start the machine and run at ½ to ¾ throttle.
Step three: Heating the Hydraulic oil.
Engage the auxiliary circuit and turn the Flow-meter Restrictor-valve until the Flow-meter
pressure gauge reaches approximately 1500 psi. Continue to run the machine until
the hydraulic oil reaches an operating temperature of at least 150 degrees Farenhiet
or 66 degrees Celsius.
* Write this temperature on line F1 of the Compactor Installation Record on page 4.
The following steps should be done with engine rpm’s set at full throttle.
Step four: Setting the Circuit relief.
When the Hydraulic oil has reached operating temperature, turn the Flow-meter
Restrictor-valve in until the pressure no longer rises on the Flow-meter pressure gauge. This
is the current setting of the relief valve for this auxiliary circuit. If the pressure setting
of the relief valve is not in spec, procede as follows. Using the pressure gauge on
the Flow meter reset the circuit relief valve to between 500 and 800 psi above the operating
pressure of the Compactor you are installing.
* Write this pressure on line F2 of the Compactor Installation Record on page 4.
Compactor Circuit Relief Settings
IHC250: 2500 psi
Step ve: Setting the operating pressure.
Using the Flow-meter Restrictor-valve reset the pressure on the Flow meter gauge to the
operating pressure of the Compactor to be installed.
* Write this on line F3 of the Compactor Installation Record on page 4.
Compactor Operating Pressures
IHC250: 2500 psi

19
REV 8/26/2014
Step six: Checking the Flow
With the Flow meter pressure gauge set at the operating pressure of the Compactor, read
the Oil ow on the Flow-meter ow gauge. This must be with in the range of the Compactor
you are installing.
Compactor Flow Specications
IHC250 50-70 gpm
Step seven: Setting the ow.
If the Flow is not within the specied range for the Compactor being installed, it must be ad
justed to within spec. Depending on the Auxiliary circuit being used, ow may be adjusted
several dierent ways. Consult the carrier manufacturer or auxiliary kit manufacturer for the
proper procedure for adjusting the ow.
* After setting the ow, write it on line F4 of the Compactor Installation Record on page 4.
Step eight: Checking the Backpressure.
With the ow properly adjusted and the Flow-meter pressure gauge still set to the operating
pressure of the Compactor being installed, read the gauge, which is teed into the return line.
This is the Backpressure reading for the circuit.
* Write this pressure on line F5 of the Compactor Installation Record on page 4.
Compactor *Maximum* Back pressures
IHC250 100 psi
If the Backpressure reading is too high, there is too much restriction in the return circuit.
A case drain must be installed to prevent damage to the motor.
Doing the following can decrease Return circuit pressure.
1) Increase the size of the Return hoses and tubes.
2) Make sure the return line runs directly back to tank and not back
through the valve.
3) Make sure any return lters are clean.
4) Remove elbows and/or tight bends from the return circuit.
5) Make sure there are no kinks in the return tubes or hoses.
Setting up the Compactor
Step nine: Check oil level in reservoir
To check oil level, remove 3/8” NPT plug from the side of the oil reservoir on the base plate
assembly. The operating oil level should be ush with the bottom of the plughole.

.
Step ten: Connecting up the hydraulic whip hoses.
On all INDECO Compactors the Inlet on the Compactor is the Supply (pressure) and the
Outlet Port is the Return (tank). Make sure when connecting the hoses to the machine that
they are installed in this fashion.
Step eleven: Running and checking the Compactor.
Start the compactor slowly and check for operation. Check compactor and hydraulic
connections for leaks.
Trouble shooting
Operating pressure too low.
Recheck the ow and back pressure.
Possibly insucient oil ow
Operating pressure too high.
Recheck the ow and back pressure.
Possibly excess oil ow to compactor and/or excessive restriction in return line.
Compactor does not cycle.
Check to make sure Compactor whip hoses are connected correctly.
(Left –Return, Right - Pressure)
Compactor runs too fast/slow.
Recheck inlet ow with Flow meter.
Use this information when lling out the Warranty Registration form (WAR-0001) you received with
the Compactor.
