Safety operating procedures for vibrating plate compactors

    Everyone knows that rollers are used to compact the road surface, but there are many narrow areas such as pipelines and trench bottoms where rollers cannot be operated, so the plate compactors play a very important role at this time. So what should we pay attention to when using a plate compactor?

    1. Before starting the equipment, check whether there are any irrelevant people in the operation area, set up warning signs, and prohibit non-operating personnel from entering the operation area within two meters. And check whether there are obstacles to avoid accidents and mechanical damage during operation. Check whether the engine oil level has reached the required position. Check whether each screw is loose or lost, and tighten it in time.

    2. After the equipment is started, the operator is prohibited from leaving. The operator must have a certain distance from the machine. When retreating, the operator must control the machine from the side to avoid being sandwiched between the machine and obstacles.

    3. When the plate compactor is working, the clutch of the plate vibrating compactor transmits power, and the throttle should be increased to a large position to avoid medium-speed operation.

    4. Do not use the equipment in unventilated small spaces or flammable and explosive places.

    5. It is best not to start the equipment without safety and protection devices.

    6. Operators should wear protective clothing, goggles and protective shoes when working.

    7. When shutting down, wait for the engine to idle for 3-5 minutes before turning off the electromagnetic switch.

    Correct operation of the flat rammer can increase its service life and reduce the frequency of maintenance.
