• Provides a replacement for worn or damaged cables in the compactor's mechanical operating system.
• Helps restore proper mechanical operation and dependable performance during routine laboratory compaction procedures.
• Allows laboratories to service existing soil compactors without replacing the complete equipment.
• Supports preventive maintenance programs by addressing cable wear before it causes unexpected equipment downtime.
• Suitable for geotechnical, construction materials, and quality control laboratories performing Standard and Modified Proctor compaction testing.
• Replacement cable clamps are available separately for installation and maintenance.
  

Included Items

One replacement cable, Part Number 662-75. Cable clamps are not included and must be purchased separately when required.

Lab Manager's Tip

Inspect the compactor cable regularly for fraying, broken strands, kinks, corrosion, or signs of excessive wear. A damaged cable can interfere with the compactor's mechanical operation and should be replaced before additional testing is performed.

When replacing the cable, inspect the associated clamps and attachment points for wear or looseness. Replacement Cable Clamps (HMA Part Number CBL1011) are available separately in packages of 10.

For laboratories performing ASTM D698, ASTM D1557, AASHTO T 99, or AASHTO T 180 testing, verify the compactor's hammer mass, drop height, and operating performance following maintenance to ensure the equipment continues to meet applicable testing requirements.
