Water ingress may also cause the soil to expand during freezing temperatures and contract during dry spells. Expansion and contraction is a major cause of damage to building foundations and normally leads to the structure requiring underpinning. Compaction increases the density of the material and therefore increases its load bearing capacity. Reduces air voids and therefore reduces the risk of subsidence, expansion and contraction, due to ingress of water.

1. Open the fuel tap by moving the fuel ON / OFF lever fully to the right.

2. If starting the engine from cold, set the choke ON by moving the choke lever fully to the left. If

restarting a warm engine, the choke is usually not required, however, if the engine has cooled to a degree, partial choke may be required.

3. Turn the engine ON / OFF switch clockwise to the ‘I’ position.

Caution must be used when operating the compactor in reverse. Ensure that there are no obstructions or trip hazards when operating in reverse. If the surface to be compacted is on a slope, great care must be taken when controlling the compactor’s direction of travel.

It is, however, important that the simple regular maintenance listed in this section is carried out. It is recommended that an approved Altrad Belle dealer carries out all major maintenance and repairs. Always use genuine Altrad Belle replacement parts, the use of spurious parts may void your warranty. Before any maintenance is carried out on the machine, switch off the engine. If working on a diesel engine, make sure that the stop switch is in the stop position.
