DECLARATION OF CONFONFORMITY
5REV 8/26/2014
Congratulations on your purchase of this fine INDECO product. To best utilize the advanced technology engineered into our attachments, we recommend you take the time to famil-iarize yourself with this manual and the attachment. The information in this manual will ensure long life, high productivity and minimum downtime from this attachment. Because we want you to be pleased with your decision to purchase our products, compactor owners should strictly adhere to the information and technical specifications contained within this manual.
The INDECO Hydraulic Compactor is simply a machine, and like any other machine, is de-signed to perform within specified guidelines. The compactor takes the hydraulic energy created by the carrier pumps (excavator, tractor loader backhoe, etc.) and converts this energy into mechanical or kinetic energy. Therefore, the perfect match of hydraulic compac-tor to carrier is essential in order to produce maximum performance of the compactor. If the hydraulic energy (oil pressure, oil flow and return oil pressure between carrier and the com-pactor) is outside the INDECO specifications contained herein, then the compactor’s me-chanical energy will also be incorrect. Statistics show that 90% of all compactor problems can be traced back to incorrect mechanical or hydraulic installation to the carrier.
While every attempt has been made by INDECO to manufacture a superior product, we cannot install the compactor. It is up to the dealer to ensure that compactors are installed within the enclosed correct parameters for their particular carrier.
To further ensure maximum productivity and longevity of INDECO compactors,we recommend:
• Adherence to INDECO’s daily, weekly and annual compactor maintenance programs (enclosed)• Regular replacement of carrier hydraulic filters (especially in dusty conditions)• Always check compactor circuit flows and pressures when the carrier is changed• Annual checks of compactor circuit flows and pressures
If problems with the compactor do occur, we have made every attempt to include any even-tuality in this Owner’s Manual. Most problems can be easily remedied due to the cause-and-effect nature of these machines. We have also done our best to ensure correctness of the information within. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to update this manual subject to the technological development of the product and service.

IV HYDRAULIC MOTORRelief and Check Valve Operation
Release/Check Valve
Optional Case Drain Port
17REV 8/26/2014
The IHC250 hydraulic motor is equipped with a relief valve that limits the maximum operating pressure of the system. The check valve allows hydraulic oil to bypass from the return side of the motor to the supply side of the motor. This is a safety feature to prevent premature failure of the motor if the compactor is shut-off abruptly at high speed (full flow).
The case drain only needs to be connected when the circuit-return pressure exceeds the maximum allowable pressure. Install a hose from the case drain port on the motor to the hydraulic tank on the carrier.
NOTE: The Motor Relief Valve is preset at the factory. For any service issues with the valve, contact the Indeco North America Service Department.
IV HYDRAULIC MOTORRelief and Check Valve Operation
18Compactor Manual
V COMPACTOR INSTALLATIONInstallation Procedures for INDECO Hydraulic Compactors
Prepping the Carrier. Step one: Installing the Flow meter Install a Hydraulic Flow-meter into the Auxiliary Circuit that will be used to run the Compator. The Flow meter should be installed in place of the Compactor and not in line with the Compactor. Also tee a pressure port into the return line if your Flow meter does not have a separate gauge on its Outlet.
Step two: With the Restrictor-valve on the Flow-meter turned to the fully open position, (fully closed on machines with closed center Hydraulics.) Start the machine and run at ½ to ¾ throttle.
Step three: Heating the Hydraulic oil. Engage the auxiliary circuit and turn the Flow-meter Restrictor-valve until the Flow-meter pressure gauge reaches approximately 1500 psi. Continue to run the machine until the hydraulic oil reaches an operating temperature of at least 150 degrees Farenhiet or 66 degrees Celsius. * Write this temperature on line F1 of the Compactor Installation Record on page 4.
The following steps should be done with engine rpm’s set at full throttle.
Step four: Setting the Circuit relief. When the Hydraulic oil has reached operating temperature, turn the Flow-meter Restrictor-valve in until the pressure no longer rises on the Flow-meter pressure gauge. This is the current setting of the relief valve for this auxiliary circuit. If the pressure setting of the relief valve is not in spec, procede as follows. Using the pressure gauge on the Flow meter reset the circuit relief valve to between 500 and 800 psi above the operating pressure of the Compactor you are installing. * Write this pressure on line F2 of the Compactor Installation Record on page 4.
Compactor Circuit Relief SettingsIHC250: 2500 psi
Step five: Setting the operating pressure. Using the Flow-meter Restrictor-valve reset the pressure on the Flow meter gauge to the operating pressure of the Compactor to be installed. * Write this on line F3 of the Compactor Installation Record on page 4.
Compactor Operating PressuresIHC250: 2500 psi
19REV 8/26/2014
Step six: Checking the Flow With the Flow meter pressure gauge set at the operating pressure of the Compactor, read the Oil flow on the Flow-meter flow gauge. This must be with in the range of the Compactor you are installing.
Compactor Flow Specifications IHC250 50-70 gpm
Step seven: Setting the flow. If the Flow is not within the specified range for the Compactor being installed, it must be ad justed to within spec. Depending on the Auxiliary circuit being used, flow may be adjusted several different ways. Consult the carrier manufacturer or auxiliary kit manufacturer for the proper procedure for adjusting the flow. * After setting the flow, write it on line F4 of the Compactor Installation Record on page 4.
Step eight: Checking the Backpressure. With the flow properly adjusted and the Flow-meter pressure gauge still set to the operating pressure of the Compactor being installed, read the gauge, which is teed into the return line. This is the Backpressure reading for the circuit. * Write this pressure on line F5 of the Compactor Installation Record on page 4.
Compactor *Maximum* Back pressuresIHC250 100 psi
If the Backpressure reading is too high, there is too much restriction in the return circuit. A case drain must be installed to prevent damage to the motor. Doing the following can decrease Return circuit pressure. 1) Increase the size of the Return hoses and tubes. 2) Make sure the return line runs directly back to tank and not back through the valve. 3) Make sure any return filters are clean. 4) Remove elbows and/or tight bends from the return circuit. 5) Make sure there are no kinks in the return tubes or hoses.
Setting up the Compactor
Step nine: Check oil level in reservoir To check oil level, remove 3/8” NPT plug from the side of the oil reservoir on the base plate assembly. The operating oil level should be flush with the bottom of the plughole.
V COMPACTOR INSTALLATIONInstallation Procedures for INDECO Hydraulic Compactors
20Compactor Manual
. Step ten: Connecting up the hydraulic whip hoses. On all INDECO Compactors the Inlet on the Compactor is the Supply (pressure) and the Outlet Port is the Return (tank). Make sure when connecting the hoses to the machine that they are installed in this fashion.
Step eleven: Running and checking the Compactor. Start the compactor slowly and check for operation. Check compactor and hydraulic connections for leaks.
Trouble shooting
Operating pressure too low. Recheck the flow and back pressure. Possibly insufficient oil flow Operating pressure too high. Recheck the flow and back pressure. Possibly excess oil flow to compactor and/or excessive restriction in return line.
Compactor does not cycle. Check to make sure Compactor whip hoses are connected correctly. (Left –Return, Right - Pressure)
Compactor runs too fast/slow. Recheck inlet flow with Flow meter.

V COMPACTOR INSTALLATIONCompactor Installation Record
22Compactor Manual
VI COMPACTOR OPERATION
INITIAL OPERATION 1) Start Machine and run at low idle.
2) All bystanders must be clear of machine and compactor.
3) Raise the compactor off the ground with the carrier. Rotate the compactor with the bucket control to assure that the hydraulic hoses will not be pinched or restricted. Swing the backhoe, stretch and curl the boom and stick to check for hose problems.
4) Return compactor to horizontal position and place compactor firmly on the ground.
5) Activate control valve on machine for compactor circuit.
6) Test run compactor at low RPM to purge air from the hydraulic system, gradually increase the machine RPM until compactor is fully powered
7) Observe Compactor performance and inspect for any oil leaks.
8) When temperature is below freezing (32°F), the compactor should be operated at an idle until the hydraulic oil comes up to temperature.
NOTE: THE COMPACTOR ROTATES IN TWO DIRECTIONS. THE COMPACTOR MUST BE BROUGHT TO A FULL STOP BEFORE REVERSING DIRECTION. IF THE DIRECTION IS REVERSED BEFORE IT COMES TO A FULL STOP, DAMAGE CAN BE CAUSED TO THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
NORMAL OPERATION
1) Normal compaction technique is to turn the compactor on and place it on the material to be compacted. Apply boom down pressure deflecting the rubber isolators about half way. The compactor is then slowly passed over the material to be compacted while continuing to apply down pressure.
2) The compactor is very effective in compacting granular materials It will produce excellent results depending on the makeup of the material being compacted and the moisture content of the material. Lifts will vary dependent on these factors.
3) It is necessary to turn the compactor off when it is sitting idle and being transported.
23REV 8/26/2014
VI COMPACTOR MAINTENANCE
DAILY
Check mounting bracket for loose, cracked or missing bolts. Examine hydraulic hoses for leaking of chaffing. Visually inspect compactor for housing damage. Check hydraulic hose quick couplers for full engagement. Check return line connection. If it becomes restricted, (pinched), motor failure could result.
Weekly
Check fasteners for tightness. Replacement fasteners should be the same type and grade as originals. Inspect rubber isolators for condition. Check oil level within compactor reservoir. To check oil level, remove 3/8” NPT plug from the side of the oil reservoir on the base plate assembly. Operating oil level should be flush with the bottom of the plug hole.
500 Hours of operation
Verify carrier hydraulic flow and pressure.
