Servicing - Altrad Belle PCX 20/45 Manuel De L'opérateur

Maintenance
The Altrad Belle 'PCX' range of Single Direction Plate Compactors are designed to give many years of trouble free operation. 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 petrol engined machine, disconnect
the HT lead from the sparkplug. If working on a diesel engine, make sure that the stop switch is in the stop position. Always set the
compactor on level ground to ensure any fluid levels will be correctly read. Only use recommended oils (see chart on following page).
Running In Period
When the compactor is first used from new, the engine oil must be changed after the initial running in period (see engine manual for
full detail). The vibrator shaft case oil must be replaced after the first 100 hours use, then after every 500 working hours. For detail on
vibrator shaft case oil replacement, see 'Vibrator unit'. The belt tension should be checked after 4 hours use.
Drive Belt
Remove the belt guard then check the belt tension by placing light finger pressure on the top of the belt, as near central between the
engine drive and vibrator pulley. The belt should deflect by between 5mm and 10mm. If the belt tension requires adjustment, loosen
the four engine mount bolts enough to allow the engine to be moved. Adjust the engine's position by turning the tension bolt clockwise
to increase belt tension, anti-clockwise to decrease. Once set, retighten the engine mount bolts and check the belt tension a second
time. Finally, replace the belt guard ensuring it is correctly and securely fitted.
