Operation
Adding Fuel
Fill the fuel tank as instructed in the separate Engine Manual packed with the Plate Compactor.
More detailed description of the engine operation and all related precautions and procedures can be found in the
Engine Manual packed separately with the unit.
Starting the Engine
1. Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
2. To start a cold engine, move the choke to the CLOSE position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the OPEN position.
3. Move the throttle lever away from the SLOW position, about 1/3 of the way toward the FAST position.
4. Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
5. Operate the starter.
Operating the Plate Compactor
Do not operate plate on concrete or on extremely hard, dry, compacted surfaces. The plate will
jump rather than vibrate and could damage both plate and engine.
1. After engine warms up, pull throttle lever to accelerate engine speed. Plate will begin vibrating and move
forward.
2. The plate compactor is designed to run at an engine speed (engine take off shaft) of 3600 rpm (Normally
considered full throttle). Running the engine at lower rpms will result in a decrease of compaction force and
lower travel speed. It will create excessive “out-of-synch” vibrations resulting in poor compaction,
manoeuvrability, excessive wear to the machine, and discomfort to the operator.
3. In operation, guide the machine, but let the compactor do the work. Bearing down on the handle is
unnecessary and causes shock absorber wear.
4. On level surfaces the compactor moves forward rapidly. On uneven surfaces or inclines, light forward
pressure on handle may be required to assist the compactor in moving forward.
5. The number of passes required to reach a desired compaction level will depend on the type and moisture
content of soil. Maximum soil compaction has been reached when excessive kickback is noticed.
When using a compactor on asphalt, Water Sprinkler Kit is required to help prevent the bottom
plate from adhering to the hot asphalt surface.
When using plate on paving stones, attach a pad to the bottom of the plate to prevent chipping or
grinding surface of the stones. A special urethane pad designed for this purpose is available as an
optional accessory.
While a certain amount of moisture in the soil is necessary, excessive moisture may cause soil particles
to stick together and prevent good compaction. If soil is extremely wet, allow it to dry somewhat before
compacting.
If soil is so dry as to create dust clouds while operating plate, some moisture should be added to the
ground material to improve compacting. This will also reduce service to the air filter.
