Compactor Shoe
Maintenance
Checking the Compactor Shoe
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Among the most critical elements of the machine is the
compactor shoe. It is also the most subject to damage and
wear. In the course of compacting a wide array of granular
objects, the machine encounters numerous abrasives and
objects, such as dirt, stones, and occasionally a large rock or
buried scrap.
The wear of the compactor shoe can significantly impair the
efficiency and performance of the machine. Therefore, it is
important to make frequent checks of the condition of the
compactor shoe for leaks and cracks. (Figure 25).

Cleaning
Removing Debris from the
Machine
Regular cleaning and washing will increase the life span of the
machine. Clean the machine immediately after use, before
the dirt hardens.
Check before cleaning that the fuel tank cap is properly in
place to avoid getting water in the tank.
Use care when using a high-pressure sprayer because it can
damage warning decals, instruction signs, and the engine.
