■ 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 car
-
buretor. 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.
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.
