3.04 Driving with vibration / oscillation
General
WARNING
Explosion!
Risk of injury due to burns and moving parts.
■
Prior to switching on the vibration function, it must be ensured that
there are no lines laid in the underground.
002-19
WARNING
Reduced road adhesion!
Risk of falling or tipping due to reduced lateral stability when having
switched in vibration.
■
Do not switch in vibration function when driving across inclines or
on hard underground.
002-20
NOTICE
Collapse or damage!
Risk of collaps or damage at buildings or on the pipe system in the
ground.
■
Do not switch on the vibration system near buildings!
■
Prior to switching on the vibration function, ensure that there are
no lines (e.g. gas, water, electricity, sewage lines) are laid in the
underground.

When the vibration system is switched on, the roller drum will vibrate
according to the speed of the vibrator. These hammering impacts
produce a manifold increase in the compaction force of the machine.
In the oscillation mode the roller drum is shifted to tangential oscillations.
The compression of the material to be compacted is conducted by flexing
movements.
Vibration / oscillation may only be used at maximum diesel engine speed
and can be operated as single or double vibration.
An elastic suspension of the roller drums prevents the transfer of
vibration oscillations to the machine frame.
Vibrations
Vibration oscillations can spread in the ground over a wide area. They
are generated in circles around the roller drum and effect also the deeper
ground. This may cause a damage to buildings or pipe systems under the
machine.
Oscillation vibrations are developed predominantly on the surface of the
ground and spread only in front of the roller drum and on its rear. Thus
the damaging force is reduced considerably.
