7.4 OPERATION
4-1. As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke
lever to the
OPEN
position. (Fig-8)
4-2. Move the speed control lever from the LOW to the
HIGH position. When the engine speed reaches
approximately 2,300-2,600 PRM, the centrifugal clutch
engages. If the engine speed increased very slowly, it is
possible that the clutch can slip. Do not operate the
speed control lever slowly. (Fig-9,10)
OIL ALERT SYSTEM (Optional)
The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine
damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the
crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall
below a safe limit, the Oil Alert System will
automatically stop the engine (the engine switch will
remain in the ON position).
NOTICE
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the
engine oil level.
4-3. When compacting asphalt, it is advisable to paint
the bottom face of the vibrating plate with diesel fuel.
This will assist in preventing the plate from sticking to
the asphalt.
4-4. When shutting off the vibrator, turn the speed
control lever from the HIGH to LOW position. Do not
move the speed control lever slowly.
7.5 TRANSPORTATION
5-1. Be sure to stop the engine while transporting.
5-2. Screw up the fuel tank cap securely and close the fuel valve to avoid fuel leaking.
5-3. In transportation by car, fix machine securely not to move nor to fall down.
In case of driving for long distance or at off-road, take out fuel from tank.
