USE
SWEPAC FR 95
is used to pack ballast under foundations, on
pavements, in trenches, etc. The rounded base plate
makes the machine very suitable for packing around
pillars, foundations, wells, etc. In places with poor
access, for example in pipe and cable trenches, the
machine is easy to use. The machine is suitable for
packing sand and gravel in thin layers.

Measurement according to the standard EN 500-4
Rev.1: 1998, Annex C: Measurement uncertainty ±
0,5dB (A) i95% of measurements.
In accordance with the conditions in Directive 2000/14/
EC, Annex VI, the following values are reported:
As the sound pressure level at the operator’s ears
exceeds 80 dB (A), ear protectors must be used during
operation!
Hand/arm vibration
Vibration acceleration has been measured according
to the ISO 5349 standard when driving on gravel
substrates. The measured values have been
converted to maximum daily exposure during regular
use. Further information is available in the work
environment regulations AFS 2005:15 on vibration,
valid from 1 July 2005.
Measurement uncertainty ± 0,3 m/s2 in 95% of
measurements.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Before using the machine, the operator must be
informed of the manufacturer’s safety instructions
and instructions for use.
• The machine may only be used outdoors.
• The machine may not be used if protection and
safety devices are not present or not working.
• The operator may not leave the machine unat-
tended when the engine is on. When the vibrator is
connected, the operator must be able to control the
movement of the machine using the operating lever
and the start/stop controls. The machine may only
be operated by a trained operator.
• During maintenance work or other interventions in
the machine, the engine must always be o.
• Switch the engine o before adding fuel. Avoid fuel
spillage and immediately wipe o any spilled fuel.
Add fuel only in well ventilated areas.
• Avoid touching hot engine parts, for example the
silencer.
• Before lifting the machine, check that the lifting de-
vice and its mounting are not damaged and that the
rubber dampers on the base plate are undamaged
and tightened.
• During transportation and storage, the fuel tank
should be empty and the fuel cock switched o.
• When the machine is parked, ensure that it cannot
tip over. The machine must not incline more than
20º. (FR 95 18º)
• The operator must use ear protectors when work-
ing with the machine.
• The operator must ensure that no unauthorised
persons are in the immediate vicinity of the ma-
chine.
• Always wear personal protective equipment as
heavy, non-slip shoes, ear protectors and approved
eye protection.
• The machine may not be used in environments
with potential re or explosion danger.
• Never use the machine if you are tired or have con-
sumed alcohol or are using medication that could
aect your vision, your discretion or your coordina-
tion ability.
• Never use a machine that, in any way, has been
changed from its original design.

TECHNICAL DATA METHOD OF OPERATION
The machine consists of a base plate with vibrating
elements and a top-mounted suspended plate.
The cushioning between the base plate and the
upper part consists of rubber dampers. The
power is transmitted from the petrol 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. On account
of the direction of rotation and the position of the
vibration element at the front end of the base plate,
the vibrator moves forwards under its own power.
The petrol engine is well protected against damage
in connection with use and transportation by a
sturdy protective frame with a protective panel on
the top.
OIL and FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Fuel ........Unleaded petrol or alkylate
Engine oil ....... SAE10W-30
Engine oil change: rst oil change after 20 hours then
every 100 hours of operation.
Note! Vibration element for the FR95 is grease
lubricated. The bearing can not be re-greased, and is
permanently lubricated.
This means that no oil is needed for the vibration
element.

Rubber dampers
Check the condition of the rubber dampers (pos. 1)
regularly.
Replace damaged dampers.
DAILY SUPERVISION
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.
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
3. Rubber washer
Note: Important!
Cleaning
1. Remove the foam plastic element and the paper
element 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
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.
See also the separate engine instructions!
V-belt drive
Check the tension and condition of the V-belt regularly.
Replace a damaged V-belt with a new type SPA 807 for
FR 95.
To increase V-belt tension, do as follows: Loosen the
screws that keep the belt guard in place. Remove the
belt guard.
Loosen the two screws (pos. 1) which attaches the belt
tensioner to the engine plate. Pull the belt tensioner
backwards until the belt feels suciently tight. Tighten
the screws again.
Replace the belt guard.

Transport security
Always secure the machine with a strap as
shown in the illustration on transport.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS
TRANSPORTATION
The vibrating element starts when the throttle is
increased. The best packing is achieved at full engine
RPM. Avoid running the engine at other RPM. The
vibrating element of the machine will stop when the
throttle switch is set to idling.
The machine is only intended for outdoor use. Operate
the machine in daylight or other adequate lighting.
Ballast must be wetted or naturally damp. All other uses
are advised against.
The machine has a lifting eye that can be used for a hook
or rope.
Check before lifting that the lifting eye and its mounting
on the machine are undamaged. Check also that the
transport wheels and the base plate’s rubber dampers
are undamaged and rmly attached.
For transportation by vehicle, the machine must be
secured with, for example, approved straps. Note! Note!
Secure it by the base plate and not the rubber-cushioned
upper part.
