3.2 Recommendations on compaction
3.2.1 Ground conditions
The max. compaction depth depends on several factors relating to the
ground condition, such as moisture, grain distribution etc,
it is therefore not possible to specify exact values.
Recommendation: In each case determine the max. compaction
depth with compaction tests and soil samples.
3.2.2 Compaction on slopes
The following points are to be observed when compacting on sloped
surfaces (slopes, embankments):
Only approach gradients from the bottom (a gradient which can be
easily overcome upwards, can also be compacted downwards without
any risk).
The operator must never stand in the direction of descent (see chapter
“safety instructions“).
The max. gradient of 20
o
must not be exceeded.
If this gradient were exceeded, this would result in a failure of the
engine lubrication system and thus inevitably lead to a breakdown of
important engine components.
Right! Wrong!
