Operation Information
SMCS - 7000

Operate the engine at full rpm for maximum braking, steering and
propel control response. Operation below full throttle will adversely
affect response.

When climbing a steep grade, the propel control lever must be moved
SLOWLY in order to avoid engine stall and possible loss of machine
control.

Set the throttle control to the HIGH position. Attain the desired travel speed before you engage the
vibratory system. In order to achieve optimum compaction, low range should be used.

Stop the vibration system when you travel over concrete or pavement that is hard.

NOTICE
The bearings in the vibratory reservoir for the weight shaft are
lubricated by rotating the drum assembly. Turning the vibratory
system on with the machine not propelling may shorten the vibratory
bearing life.

Begin the first pass of the compaction along the side of the work. Gradually make subsequent passes
toward the center. Overlap the previous pass by 200 mm (8.0 inch) in order to eliminate uncompacted
areas.

NOTICE
Before changing the vibratory amplitude selection, the system must be
completely stopped.

High Amplitude

In order to increase the height of the drum movement, place the vibratory system in high amplitude.

High amplitude is used in the following situations:

z The job site requires higher compacting force in order to meet the required density.

z In order to compact material with a depth of 250 mm (10.0 inch) or more, use high amplitude.

Note: Once you have achieved the desired density of the material, continued operation at high amplitude
can crush the aggregate.

Note: Every job site is different due to the various conditions of the soil. Moisture content and the type
of material vary from job site to job site. In order to determine the amplitude that is needed, establishing
a test location at each job site is recommended.

1. In order to place the vibratory system in high amplitude, depress the top of vibratory amplitude
control (2) downward.

2. Move the propel lever to the FWD position or the REV position.

3. Start the vibratory system by pressing vibratory on/off control (1). The control is located on the
top of the propel lever.

4. In order to stop the vibratory system, press vibratory on/off control (1) .

5. Return the propel control to the STOP position.

Low Amplitude

In order to decrease the height of the drum movement, place the vibratory system in low amplitude.

Low amplitude is used in the following situations:

z When operating the machine in high amplitude and the drum separates from the soil, use low
amplitude in order to reach the desired soil density.

z The thickness of the material is less than 250 mm (10.0 inch).

z Objects such as sewer systems or water systems may be damaged due to high amplitude.

1. In order to place the vibratory system in low amplitude, depress the bottom of vibratory amplitude
control (2) downward.

2. Move the propel lever to the FWD position or the REV position.

3. Start the vibratory system by pressing vibratory on/off control (1). The control is located on the
top of the propel lever.

4. In order to stop the vibratory system, press vibratory on/off control (1) .

5. Return the propel control to the STOP position.
