QUALITY ASSURANCE / MACHINE BREAK IN
BCF1570
The Bartell Vibratory Plate Compactor is the product of extensive engineering development
designed to give long life and unmatched performance. The Compactors are shipped completely as-
sembled with the exception of attaching the handle, and only require filling with fuel and a brief check
of lubricant levels in preparation for operation. The exciter housing are pre-serviced with oil at factory.
You can help ensure that your Vibratory Plate Compactor will perform at top levels by observing
a simple routing on first use. Consider that your new Compactor is like a new car. Just as you would
break in a new car to the road or any new machine to the job, you should start gradually and build up
to full use. Learn what your machine can do and how it will respond. Refer to the engine manufactur-
er’s manual for run-in times. Full throttle and control may be used after this time period, as allowed by
material. This will serve to further break in the machine on your specific application, as well as provide
you with additional practice using the machine.
We thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing a Bartell Vibratory Plate
Compactor and wish you many years of satisfied use.
