7. Fill the exciter housing with exciter oil.

Engine maintenance
Refer to the engine manual included in your plate compactor for the information on engine maintenance. Your engine manual
provides detailed information for performing the tasks.
8 Storage
If the plate compactor will not be used for a period longer than 30 days, follow the steps below to prepare your unit for
storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel containing ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30 days. Stale fuel has high
gum content and can clog the carburetor and restrict fuel flow.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. This ensures no fuel is left in the carburetor. Run the engine until it stops.
This helps prevent deposits from forming inside the carburetor and possible engine damage.
3.
While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of the grade recommended in the engine
manual.
4. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 60 ml of SAE-30 of high quality engine oil into the cylinder. Pull
the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Replace the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder before attempting to start the
unit after storage.
5. Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the compactor and to keep the air vents free of obstructions.
Do not use strong detergents or petroleum based cleaners when cleaning plastic parts. Chemicals
can damage plastics.
5. Remove pipe plug from top of exciter housing. Tilt housing upside down so oil drains from exciter. Examine oil for metal
chips as a precaution to future problems.
6. Return plate housing to the upright position.
