USE
SWEPAC FR 85
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.
SWEPAC F 70A / F 90A
are used to pack freshly laid asphalt on pavements and garage
approaches, in connection with roadworks, etc. The machine is
designed to pack small asphalt areas and is particularly suitable
for additional works and repair works. The compact design with
an articulated control handle makes the machine very easy to
manoeuvre. The machine is also suitable for packing sand and
gravel in thin layers.
SWEPAC F 140
is used to pack ballast under foundations, on garage approaches
and on pavements, etc. The machine is also suitable as a com-
plement to larger packing machines, for example rollers, when
packing areas with poor access. The compact design and articu-
lated control handle make the machine very easy to manoeuvre
and also suitable for use in trench works.

STANDARDS
Noise
Measurement in accordance with the standard EN 500-4
Rev. 1:1998, Annex C:
Measurement uncertainty ± 0.5 dB (A) in 95% of the
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 vibrations
The vibration acceleration was measured in accordance
with the ISO 5349 standard during operation on a surface
of macadam. The measurement values were translated
into the maximum daily exposure time for regular usage.
For additional information about vibrations, please confer
the regulation AFS 2005:15 from the Swedish Work
Environment Authority, eective July 1st 2005.
Measurement uncertainty ± 0.3 m/s2in 95% of the
measurements.

TECHNICAL DATA
METHOD OF OPERATION
The machine consists of a base plate with a vibration ele-
ment and an upper part cushioned from the base plate, which
is designed as both an engine plate and water tank (F 70A /
F 90A). 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.
Transport wheels are standard F90A and F140 (Option for
the F70A)
F 70A / F 90A
The water tank holds 12 litres (F 70A) or 21 litres (F 90A).
The water cock is located at the back of the tank, easily
accessible for the operator. The sprinkler system pours water
on the base plate and prevents asphalt from adhering to it.
OIL and FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Engine oil .................................SAE 10W-30
Fuel ...........................................Unleaded petrol or alkylate
Engine oil change: rst oil change after 20 hours then every
100 hours of operation.
Vibration unit F140....................SAE10W-30......0,15 liter
Note! The bearings of the vibrations element of the F70A;
FR85 och F90A machines are fat smeared. The bearings
cannot be greased, since they are life lubricated. This means
that no oil is needed in the vibration element.

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.
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 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. Re-
place a damaged V-belt with the new type A 30 for FR 85 / F
70A / F 90A, B 30 for F 140.
Water Sprinkling System
Use only clean water.
Always empty the tank after use. Risk of freezing! Check that
the nozzles are not clogged up.
Rubber Dampers
Check the condition of the rubber dampers regularly. Replace
damaged dampers.
Polyuretan Pad
A polyuretan pad is used for stone paving work to protect
against stones and ground clinker.

STOPPING
Switch the engine power switch to “on”. Open the fuel cock.
Switch the throttle lever to 1/3 of full RPM.
Adjust the choke. If the engine is cold, close the choke com-
pletely. Do not use the choke if the engine is warm or if the
air temperature is high.
Start by pulling the starting handle. Pull it rst until the
mechanism engages. Then pull it hard and fast.
Switch the throttle lever to idle.
Open the choke gradually.
Run the engine warm for around 5 minutes.
Switch the engine to idle and let it run for a few minutes.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TRANSPORTATION
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
idle.
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.
Maximum inclination: 20º (FR 85: 18º)
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! Secure it by the
base plate and not the rubber-cushioned upper part.
The machine has transport wheels (only F 90A and F140) as
standard equipment. When the wheels are not being used,
they are located on brackets on the control handle.
Check that all (4) drains at the front of the plate let water
out.
F 70A / F 90A
Before operation, ll the water tank with clean water and
open the water cock (lever horizontal).
1. Add water here
2. Water cock
Check that all (4) drains
at the front of the plate let
water out.
Before moving out onto freshly laid asphalt, you must ensure
that the entire base plate has been covered with water by
rst moving over another surface with the water cock open.
You should avoid running out of water as the asphalt may
then adhere to the base plate, which must then be carefully
scraped clean.
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.
