Check that the switch is in the OFF position
and that the spark plug lead is disconnected
before adjusting, cleaning or performing
maintenance on the machine.
Always switch the motor off when leaving
the machine unattended.
Never stand on the plate compactor.
Note: Remember to tighten the screws on
the machine.
To ensure the machine’s function it is very
important that you regularly check that
the screws and bolts of the machine are
tightened properly.
We recommend that you check this at
delivery and then every day of operation.
Use
Open the petrol cock (16), and place choker
(15) in OFF position.
Set the on/off switch (12) to the ON
position.
Open the throttle using the throttle trigger
(2).
Pull the starter handle (13) to start the
motor.
Set choke to ON after a few seconds.
Increase the motor speed to maximum
using the throttle lever (2).
The vibrations will cause the compactor to
move forwards. Use the handle to control it.
Walk slowly and steadily to avoid losing
control.
Switch the motor off after use by setting the
on/off switch to the OFF position.
Useful advice
The plate compactor is designed to
compact asphalt and grained material, such
as gravel, by means of vibrations.
If possible, smooth over and level the area
to be compacted before starting work.
If the water content of the surface is too
low, it cannot be compacted adequately. If
it is too high, the vibrations will cause holes
full of water, which will reduce the surface’s
load-bearing capacity. Dry surfaces should
be dampened before using the compactor.
If the water content is very high, the motor
will cut out.
Transport and storage
Please remember that the compactor is
very heavy and may therefore be diffi cult to
move up and down slopes.
To save space, the handle can be folded
away for storage by loosening the lock
knobs (3).
Checking the motor oil
The plate compactor must be standing
on a level surface. Unscrew the dipstick
(8), remove and wipe. Re-insert it without
tightening. Take it out and read off the
oil level, which should be between the
markings on the dipstick.
