OPERATION
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.
6.1.
Adding fuel/oil.
6.1.1.
Fill the fuel & oil tanks 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.
6.2.
Starting the engine.
6.2.1.
Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
6.2.2.
To start a cold engine, move the choke to the CLOSE position.
6.2.3.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the OPEN position.
6.2.4.
Move the throttle lever away from the SLOW position, about 1/3 of the way
toward the FAST position.
6.2.5.
Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
6.2.6.
Operate the starter.
6.3.
Recoil starter.
6.3.1.
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly, return the
starter grip gently.
6.3.2.
If the choke lever has been moved to the CLOSE position to start the engine,
gradually move it to the open position as the engine warms up.
6.4.
Operating the compacter.
6.4.1.
After engine warms up, pull throttle lever to accelerate engine speed. Plate
will begin vibrating and move forward.
6.4.2.
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 rpm’s will result in a decrease of compaction force and lower travel
speed. It will create excessive “out-of-synch” vibrations resulting in poor
