How to Change the Vibration Mounts on a Belle PCLX 320 Forward Plate Compactor
As a part of a service you will need to inspect the mounts. The purpose of shock mounts are to absorb vibration, and therefore many issues can arise with constant use. Mounts can deteriorate over time, with cracks and overall damage. If the plate jumps or compacts unevenly the mounts may be loose or damaged. On average, shock mounts should be checked every 2 weeks and changed every year.
