Put speed control lever to tick-over.
If engine is cold, close the choke (petrol engines only).
Turn engine switch to ON(1) position.
Pull the starter rope toggle lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly using quick
short pull. Do not pull rope to its full extent or allow toggle to snap back against
engine. Return it gently to avoid damage.
When engine is warm open choke.
Position engine speed control lever to give required engine speed (usually full
speed).

to off(0).
Turn the fuel valve to off.

OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS
Read section (1) - Safety.
NOTE: Drive between engine and vibrator is through a centrifugal clutch. Vibration
will commence as engine speed is increased.
Position the engine speed control lever to give required speed (usually full speed).
Commence compaction. The compactor is self travelling. Its speed of travel and the
number of passes required to achieve optimum compaction depends on the type and
condition of material being compacted and the layer depth.
Uniformly graded granular material compacts far more efficiently than wet cohesive
material.
When compacting block paving always use a rubber attachment mat, contact your
agent for details.
When compacting blacktop always use a water spray, contact your agent for details.
