GENERAL
BTI compactors are designed to mount on mini-excavators, backhoes and
excavators. BTI compactors combine impulse force, down pressure, and
vibration to work as soil compactors or pile/sheet drivers.
The compactor has 3 basic components:
• Mounting Bracket: attaches the compactor to the carrier boom and is
complete with adjustable mounting pins.
• Rubber Isolators: act as suspension between the base and the mount
& isolate the compactor forces from the carrier.
• Base: includes a hydraulic motor coupled to an eccentric, encased in
a steel housing with the base plate attached.

HAZARD ALERTS
Danger, Warning, and Caution are hazard alerts used in this manual and
on the compactor decals to identify hazards on or near the carrier and
compactor.
Danger - Immediate hazards, which WILL result in severe personal
injury or death if the proper precautions are not taken.
Warning - Hazards or unsafe practices, which COULD result in per-
sonal injury or death if the proper precautions are not taken.
Caution - Hazards or unsafe practices, which COULD result in product
or property damage if the proper precautions are not taken.
BTI cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a
hazard. The hazard alerts in this publication and on the product are there-
fore not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure, work method or operating
technique not specifically recommended by BTI is used, you must satisfy
yourself that it is safe for you and others. You should also ensure that the
compactor and carrier will not be damaged or made unsafe by the opera-
tion, maintenance or repair procedures you choose.

HAZARD ALERTS
Hydraulic fluids are under high pressure. Fluid escaping under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Relieve all pressure before
disconnecting hoses. Do not use your hand to check for hydraulic leaks.
If any fluid is injected into the skin, a doctor must surgically remove it
within a few hours or gangrene may set in.
Do not attempt to repair or modify the compactor unless you are a quali-
fied service technician. Read and understand your owner's manuals.
Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in
severe personal injury or death. Proper care is your responsibility.
Contact your distributor or BTI for replacement parts.
Some compactor components are heavy or awkward, plan carefully how
you will handle them when installing, removing, or disassembling.

SIZING THE COMPACTOR
The compactor must be sized properly for both the carrier on which it
will be mounted and the work to be done.
Sizing the Compactor based on the Type of Work
Most applications require the soil under a road or load bearing surface to
be compacted to 95% or greater than the density of the original material
removed. This can be achieved with a compactor, provided the soil is the
correct type and moisture.
Uniform materials like clay and sand are difficult to compact. Virgin dirt,
pit run gravel, or soil with non-uniform particle size is preferred. The
moisture content in most material should be less than ten percent for best
results.
A typical production rate to compact soils to over 95% their original den-
sity;
TC51: 14- 22 cu yds /hr
TC71: 18- 27 cu yds /hr
TC80: 23- 32 cu yds /hr
TC91S: 25- 35 cu yds /hr
TC151S: 65- 75 cu yds/hr
TC151SH: 65- 75 cu yds/hr
TC301: 110- 130 cu yds/hr
TC301H: 110- 130 cu yds/hr
(11 - 17 cu M/hr)

SIZING THE COMPACTOR
Always use a compactor sized to the carrier. A compactor that is too
small for the carrier will damage the compactor, while a compactor too
big will damage the carrier. Ensure you have the proper installation kit
for attaching the compactor and that the carrier's hydraulic system meets
the compactor flow and pressure requirements.
The carrier that is selected to operate the compactor must have sufficient
reach to compact the deepest area of the trench or excavation. Therefore,
sizing the compactor based on the carrier size becomes the most
important factor in choosing the correct sized compactor.
BTI has assigned a 'Recommended Carrier Weight' range to each com-
pactor. If the operating weight of the carrier falls within this range, the
carrier will safely handle this model. If the desired compactor falls out-
side of the recommended carrier weight range, the carrier's lifting capaci-
ty and oil flow will need to be verified to ensure a proper fit.
Provided the weight of the compactor does not exceed the maximum lift-
ing capacity of the carrier at any position, the carrier is assumed to be
stable. On most loader backhoes and excavators, the maximum lifting
capacity is lowest when the boom is at full reach. This is the value that
must be compared to the operating weight of the compactor.
Carrier
Lifting Capacity
A required oil flow range is specified for each compactor, oil flow to the
compactor within this range is adequate for operation. However, for max-
imum productivity the carrier should be capable of providing the maxi-
mum required flow. Compare the maximum oil flow requirement of the
compactor with the oil flow capacity of the carrier. Remember the com-
pactor will be operating at 1100-2100-psi (75-136 bar), therefore, oil flow
should be evaluated at the operating pressure.

Oil Flow
Below is the Carrier Sizing Chart, outlining the recommended carrier
weight range for the compactor models.

TYPICAL HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS
To run, a compactor needs hydraulic flow in one direction within a work-
ing pressure range. When installing the compactor the carrier hydraulic
circuit must have the following:
• The carrier must have a hydraulic circuit which will provide the
correct flow
• A switch to activate the compactor
• A circuit relief valve
17
Compactor Owner’s Manual
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
TYPICAL HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS
Carrier with Auxiliary Circuit
Often a carrier is equipped with an auxiliary control valve (see Figure 1),
this valve can be adjusted to provide the correct amount of oil flow to the
compactor. A pressure relief cartridge can also be installed to protect the
hydraulic components.
Make sure that oil is not routed back through the return port of this auxil-
iary valve. Instead, send the oil directly back to the tank, via the cooler
and filter.
If the circuit is plumbed using both ports on the auxiliary valve, the
return line should have a bleed line connected to tank, to prevent damag-
ing pressure spikes from the returning oil.
Figure 1, Carrier with Auxiliary Circuit

TYPICAL HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS
Carrier without Auxiliary Circuit
If the carrier does not have an auxiliary control valve (see Figure 2), a
priority flow control valve must be installed to direct oil flow from the
normal circuit to the compactor. The priority flow control valve is usual-
ly equipped with a flow adjustment and pressure relief.
These auxiliary control valves often need a check valve on the regulated
port to completely close the flow. If too much flow is divided, excess
heat is generated in which case the oil needs to be cooled.
Figure 2, Carrier without Auxiliary Circuit

Compactor Owner’s Manual

INSTALLATION
There is no separate pressure adjustment on the compactor.
The compactor's supply oil should be directed out the left side of the
boom and the return line back on the boom's right side. A combination of
hoses and steel tubing is recommended to keep the installation neat and
cost effective.
Hoses and tubes should be secured to the carrier boom with steel clamps.
Attaching mounting clamps or bulkhead fittings to the ends of the tubes
will prevent the tubes from sliding. Check the hoses to ensure they are
not being rubbed or pinched by other components.
BTI recommends the use of high-pressure ball valves at the outer end of
the stick where the hydraulic lines are disconnected to attach the com-
pactor. This allows the line to be disconnected without losing too much
oil. BTI does not recommend hydraulic quick disconnects. However, if
they are installed, ensure the flush face style is used and then only on the
TC91S or smaller models.
Mounting the Compactor
Compactors are easily mounted by doing the following:
Orient the compactor with its hose connections pointed towards the carrier.
Remove the pins and bushings from the compactor top mount bracket
(Note: the compactor mounting pins and bushings are custom made to
match the carrier stick).
Insert the bushings into the boom and link of the carrier. (If Required).
Place the carrier boom into the compactor top mount bracket.
Push the pins through the bracket and boom (do not force the pins, if they
do not enter easily, try realigning).
Insert the pin retainers.
If the carrier is equipped with a Quick Attach system, ensure the device is
securely locking in position before operation.

SETTING FLOW & PRESSURE
For a compactor to operate properly it requires a specific oil flow and
sufficient oil pressure.

To begin, connect a flow meter into the circuit in place of the compactor. Measure
the 'no-load' flow by pressing the compactor fire, which activates the control
valve and simulates the compactor working. While still activating the 'compactor'
fire, adjust the flow meter putting a load on the circuit. Adjust the flow meter
pressure until it falls within the working pressure range:

SETTING FLOW & PRESSURE
Now adjust the oil flow on the carrier, so the flow meter reading equals:
TC51L/FC: 8-12 USgpm (30-45 l/min) TC51H/FC: 12-18 gpm (44-68 l/min)
TC71: 13-17 USgpm (49-63 l/min) TC71FC: 13-22 gpm (49-83 l/min)
TC80: 20-26 USgpm (75-97 l/min)
TC91S: 18-24 USgpm (68-91 l/min)
TC151S: 25-31 USgpm (95-117 l/min) TC151SH: 35-43 gpm (132-163 l/min)
TC301: 35-43 USgpm (132-163 l/min) TC301H: 50-61 gpm (189-231 l/min)
To ensure the carrier's pressure relief valve does not activate while the compactor
is working, the pressure relief must be set at least 350 psi above the maximum
working pressure of the compactor.Continue to load the circuit pressure by adjust-
ing the flow meter. Eventually the carrier's relief valve will activate and the oil
flow will drop to zero. The pressure at which the oil goes over relief will be dis-
played on the flow meter. If this pressure setting is at least 350 psi or greater than
the maximum working pressure of the compactor, your machine is ready. If not,
you need to adjust the carrier's pressure relief setting.
TC51 2200 + 350 psi = 2550 psi (176 + 24 = 200 bar) relief
TC71 2000 + 350 psi = 2350 psi (136 + 24 = 160 bar) relief
TC80 2000 + 350 psi = 2350 psi (136 + 24 = 160 bar) relief
TC91S 2000 + 350 psi = 2350 psi (136 + 24 = 160 bar) relief

If more than one attachment with different flow requirements is to be connected
to this carrier, you will need to measure the flow and note the adjustments of
each. Mark these two locations directly on the flow control valve.
Record the oil flow and relief pressure settings when filling out the BTI
Compactor Installation Notice form.
If you are unable to obtain the proper flow when installing or adjusting the
hydraulic circuit, contact your BTI dealer for technical support.

START-UP
Carrier oil should be clean and in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations.
After mounting the compactor on the boom and connecting the lines,
bleed all air from the hydraulic system.
Initially pump grease to the pins in the bracket until it oozes out around
the pins. Then grease with 10-15 shots daily.
Check torque of bolts and fasteners at installation and again after the first
10 hours of operation.
Operate all boom functions to ensure clearances are good and they allow
the compactor to swivel.

OPERATION
Compaction of Materials
BTI compactors achieve material compaction by using impulse force and
vibration to displace air and water pockets in the material. Compaction
performance depends on 3 items:
• Type and size of material being compacted
• Moisture content of the material
• Depths of lifts being compacted
Use a short trial of the compactor to determine the optimum depth of lift
and speed of boom travel to achieve the required density. This value will
vary depending on the material's composition and size. For example,
marbles being a uniform shape do not pack as well as gravel, which has
uneven shapes allowing the stones to interlock with each other.
Test the
Compactor First
You can reach nearly 100% of the maximum material density with a BTI
compactor by using smaller lifts, and increasing the holding time in each
spot. Typical hourly production rates to compact soil to over 95% its
original density are;
TC51L/FC / TC51H/FC: 14-22 cu yds (11-17 cu M) per hour
TC71 / TC71FC: 18-27 cu yds (14-21 cu M) per hour
TC80: 23-32 cu yds (18-25 cu M) per hour
Hourly
Production Rates
TC91S: 25-35 cu yds (19-27 cu M) per hour
TC151S / TC151SH: 65-75 cu yds (50-57 cu M) per hour
TC301 / TC301H: 110-130 cu yds (84-99 cu M) per hour
Always operate the carrier engine at the minimum speed required to
achieve the desired result. This allows the hydraulic system to run cooler.
Excess flow beyond recommended levels can damage the compactor
motor.
Operate Carrier at
Minimum Speed
Ensure the compactor base plate is in contact with the soil before operat-
ing.
Compactor Base
Must Contact Soil
When using a BTI compactor it is the amplitude (up and down motion)
of the plate, which does the compaction and not the compactor weight or
the carrier boom down-force. As you apply down-force to the compactor,
the carrier will lift slightly giving you an indication that the compactor is
properly pressed onto the material. Too much boom down-force inhibits
the up and down motion, reducing the compactor's impact force.
(Improper operation of the compactor can result in premature failure of
the rubber isolators.)
Use Proper
Boom Down-Force
24

OPERATION
Shut off the compactor and lift it into the air to a new position, or using
minimum boom down-force slide the compactor along the ground. Avoid
dragging the compactor's plate across the material surface ('ironing')
while the motor is running. Forces exerted on the compactor by 'ironing'
can cause premature failure.
Another cause of premature mount failure occurs when working in very
wet soil and/or a very tight trench. Suction or drag when the compactor
is lifted can cause the mounts to tear. In these situations fasten a chain
between the compactor's upper and lower sections to relieve the lifting
strain on the rubber isolators.
Working in Wet Soil
or Tight Trench
Never grade the trench or level backfill with the compactor. Extreme side
forces can damage the rubber isolators.
Do Not Grade
with Compactor
Always keep the plate of the compactor parallel with the material being
compacted. Compactors can operate on an angle if you keep the carrier
Keep Compactor
Parallel with Material
o
boom down-force at 90 to the compactor base.
Start by operating the compactor in one position. Release the down force
and lift the unit to a new spot. Re-apply down-force and start compact-
ing. Two passes are usually required. During the initial pass the com-
pactor should be held in each position for 8-10 seconds or as long as
compaction is apparent. The second-pass should be with greater boom
down-force, focusing on areas missed during the first pass.
Initial Compacting
Compact in lift depths of:
TC51: .5-1 ft (0.15-0.3 M)
TC71: .5-1 ft (0.15-0.3 M)
TC80: 1-2 ft (0.3-0.6 M)
Lift Depths
TC91S: 1-2 ft (0.3-0.6 M)
TC151S / TC151SH: 2-3 ft (0.6-0.9 M)
TC301 / TC301H: 2-4 ft (0.6-1.2 M)
Note: using a higher material lift depth may give less than 95% soil com-
paction. Materials with 5% moisture give better compaction. Narrow
excavations can use higher lifts.

OPERATION
When compaction is complete, shut off compactor before lifting it from
the ground.
Shut-off Compactor
Before Lifting
Do not pound the ground with the compactor.
Do not start in the middle of an un-compacted area. Always start at the
edge, near a solid wall, bank, or a previously compacted area.
Compacting Clay Materials
Clay type materials have a different composition and will not transmit
vibration as well as granular materials; therefore, it is necessary to
decrease the lift height and hold the compactor position for 15 seconds in
each spot. Two passes are usually sufficient.
Sheet or Pile Driving
Compactors are effective in driving timber sheeting, steel sheet piles, 'H'
or 'I' beams, and they drive into most soils including fine sand and rocky
material. Best results are achieved by keeping the compactor base 90O to
the pile and use down-force and vibration to hammer the material. If you
come across excessive resistance, lift the compactor slightly and let it
'bounce' on the pile for a hammering effect. Do not use the compactor to
extract pilings.
Cold Weather Operation
Oils for use in cold weather operation should have a viscosity not
exceeding 7500 SSU at the minimum start up temperature. And the ambi-
ent temperature should be at least 20o F above the pour point of the oil.
Start with a gradual warm-up until the oil reaches a reasonably fluid
state.
Daily Inspection
At the end of each shift check the following:
Check rubber isolators for cracks. Replace as necessary.
Check the mounting pins and bushings for proper fit to the carrier. Check
that the pin locks are in place and secure.
Check that all hose connections are tight and there are no leaks.
If your compactor is equipped with a swivel mount, grease this connec-
tion with 5 shots dependent on the amount of compactor use.
Always use standard EP2 grease.
Check that all bolts are tight. If necessary, remove the bolt and install
using Loctite and tighten to the specified torque.
Bolt Loctite
Requirements
• Red Loctite: motor and eccentric housing bolts
• Blue Loctite: rubber isolator bolts and all others

OPERATION
Maintenance- Every 40 Hours of Operation
Check hoses for wear and leaks, replace and tighten as required.
The eccentric housing is filled with gear oil. This oil must be changed
after the initial 50 hours. Then change oil every year. Use 80W90 gear
oil.
Do not overfill the oil reservoir.
Check the rubber isolators for cracks or fatigue. Clean away any soil and
material that has built up in this area.
Check that mounting pins and bushings are receiving lubrication.
Removal and Storage
Disconnect the pressure and return lines. Cap the lines on the machine
and on the compactor to prevent dirt from entering.
Remove pins to disconnect compactor from boom. Spread grease on pins
and bushings after removal to prevent corrosion.
