compaction, manoeuvrability, excessive wear to the machine, and discomfort
to the operator.
6.4.3.
In operation, guide the machine, but let the compactor do the work. Bearing
down on the handle is unnecessary and causes shock absorber wear.
6.4.4.
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.
6.4.5.
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 a water sprinkler kit (optional extra) 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 (optional extra) 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.
6.5.
Stopping the engine.
6.5.1.
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the engine switch to the OFF
position. Under normal conditions, use the following procedure.
6.5.2.
Move the throttle lever to the SLOW position.
6.5.3.
Let engine idle for one or two minutes.
6.5.4.
Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
6.5.5.
Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
DO NOT move choke control to CLOSE to stop engine. Backfire or
engine damage may occur.
6.6.
Idle speed.
6.6.1.
Set throttle control lever to its “low” position to reduce stress on the engine
when compacting is not being performed. Lowering the engine speed to idle
the engine will help extend the life of the engine, as well as conserve fuel and
reduce the noise level of the machine.
