USE
SWEPAC FB160 / FB170 / FB 175 / FB 235 / FB 255 /
FB 265
are used to pack ballast under foundations, in connection with
road building, in trenches, etc. On account of the forward/reverse
function, the machine is very suitable for packing in tight spaces
and as a complement to larger packing equipment in places with
poor access

Before use, carefully read the manual and its safety
instructions so that you can handle the machine safely.
Ensure that the manual is always accessible.
Belt drive: Keep hands, tools and other objects away
from the belt drive when the machine is on to avoid
injury and damage. See the safety instructions in the
manual.
As the sound pressure level at the operator’s ears
exceeds 80 dB (A), ear protectors must be used when
working with the machine to prevent hearing damage.
Engine and silencer: to avoid burns or discomfort, do
not touch hot engine parts when the engine is on or
when the machine has recently been used.

METHOD OF OPERATION
The machine consists of a base plate with a vibration element and an upper
part cushioned from the base plate. The cushioning between the base plate
and the upper part consists of rubber dampers. The power is transmitted
from the engine to the vibration element via a V-belt which can be adjusted
with a belt tensioner. The engine V-belt pulley is tted with an integrated
centrifugal clutch, which allows the engine to be started and run idle without
the vibrator being connected. The engine is well protected against damage in
connection with use and transportation by a sturdy protective frame with a
protective panel.

DAILY CHECKS
Fuel Check
Check that there is fuel in the tank. Top up if necessary.
Engine Oil Level Check
Check the oil level in the crankcase every day. The
oil must reach the edge of the lling hole when the
machine is on a level surface.
Oil/Fuel Leakage
Check every day that the engine is not leaking oil or
fuel. If a leak is discovered, the machine may not be
operated until the fault has been remedied.
Air Filter Check
The air lter must be checked at least once every
working week. When working in dusty conditions,
check daily.
1. Paper element
2. Foam plastic element
Cleaning
1. Remove the foam plastic element and the paper ele-
ment and check that they are undamaged. Replace
damaged parts.
2. Wash the foam plastic element in liquid with a high
ashpoint and let it dry properly. Dip in engine oil
and squeeze dry.
3. Strike the paper element against a hard object a few
times to loosen any dirt.

Hydraulic Oil Level Check
Check every day that the hydraulic connections do not
leak or wear during operation. Check the oil level with
the dipstick on the top of the tank. The level must be
between “MIN” and “MAX”. Fill up when required.
V-belt Drive
Check the tension and condition of the V-belt regularly.
Replace a damaged V-belt with the new type according
to the table below
Rubber Dampers
Check the condition of the rubber dampers regularly.
Replace damaged dampers.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The machine’s vibration elements start when the
throttle is increased. The best packing is achieved at
full engine RPM. Avoid running the engine at other
RPM. The machine’s vibration element stops when the
throttle lever is switched to stop.
To move forwards, do not touch the forward/reverse
control. To reverse, pull the hoop towards the control
handle.
The machine is only designed to be used outdoors.
Work with the machine in daylight or other adequate
lighting. Ballast must be wetted or naturally damp. All
other use is discouraged.
NOTE! When moving up a slope, the machine should
be reversed.
The machine may not incline more than 20º when in
use or parked.

TRANSPORTATION
The machine has a lifting eye that can be used for a
hook or hawser.
Check before lifting that the lifting eye and its
mounting on the machine are undamaged. Check also
that the base plate’s rubber dampers are undamaged
and rmly attached.
For transportation by vehicle, the handle must be
folded forwards and locked with the transport locking
device. The machine must then be secured with, for
example, approved straps. Note! Secure it by the base
plate and not the rubber-cushioned upper part.
Handle heater
FB 250 has a heated handle for increased comfort.
Push the button (1) to activate the heated handle.
Polyuretan Pad
A polyuretan pad is used for stone paving work to
protect against stones and ground clinker
Transport locking
Secure the machine with straps accorrding to
illustration during transportation
Note! Secure it by the base plate and not the rubber-
cushioned upper part.

Measurement of hydraulic pressure at direction change
The hydraulic pressure at direction change to be measured is necessary to remove the cover plate at the
rear of the handle.
The hydraulic pressure when direction changes must be between 20-22 bar and with a hydraulic meter
that is to be connected to the valve assembly as shown below. The measuring point is factory-locked.
To be able to measure this obstruction, it must be released and the connector corresponding to the
measuring instrument must be bolted there. A measuring instrument and connector can be ordered from
Swepac.
