3. Operation
3.1 Description
The APH 6530-/100-20 ACEforce is a reversible vibrating plate
operating on the basis of the three-shaft vibration system princi-
ple. The Engine drives the exciter on the baseplate via hydraulic
components.
The exciter produces the vibration required for compaction owing
to the incorporated out-of-balance weights.
The machine is guided at the tow-bar grip. It is operated with the
operating controls on the tow-bar.
The APH 6530-/100-20 ACEforce is suitable for all heavy com-
paction work in the fileds of civil Engineering and road construc-
tion.
It can be used to compact all ground materials such as sand,
gravel, slag, crushed stone, asphalt and composite sett paving.
Take great care on downslopes. The machine
could slip down owing to loose material or if the
surface is slippery.
Danger
Do not work on hard concrete or set asphalt sur-
facing.

3.2 Operating controls on the tow-bar
1
Engine speed control lever
STOP
Switching off the engine
MIN
Idle (detent position)
MAX
Full load
The Engine speed can be adjusted steplessly with the control le-
ver. At minimum Engine speed (MIN), the drive to the exciter is
disconnected at the centrifugal clutch and the Engine idles.
2
Drive lever
a
Forward
b
Reverse
The drive lever serves to adjust the movements in the exciter and
therefore provides a stepless control
• of the travel direction forwards (a) / backwards (b)
• of the speed
3
Emergency stop connection
The emergency stop switch serves to immediately halt the ma-
chine in emergency situations.
Once the switch knob is pressed the power transmission is inter-
rupted and the machine itself stops though the Engine continues
to run.
Following the pressing of the switch during operation:
• The switch is released by withdrawing it.
• Normal operation can then be immediately resumed. (The
travel direction and speed do not need to be reselected).
Engine start is possible with the switch depressed.
