OPERATION RP850G / RP850D
The control lever serves for adjustment of the
unbalances in the exciter and in turn for continuous
regulation.
- Forward (I) / point compacting (0) / reverse (II)
- the speed of the machine
Important: The control lever remains automatically in
position only when set to the maximum forward travel
setting (I). In any other position, the control lever
moves in the direction of maximum forward travel
when released. If the control lever is operated too
quickly several times, the shift lever will block in
reverse travel. In this case:
- Release lever in forward travel position up to
maximum forward travel position.
- Blocking is cleared within a few seconds and
perfect shifting is possible.
The control lever can be operated only with the engine
running. The lever blocks if operated when the
machine is stationary. Blocking is immediately cleared
when the engine is restarted.
ADJUSTING THE TOW-BAR
By turning adjustment screw (2), the tow-bar can be set
to any position so as to obtain the best working height
on the tow-bar grip.
In case of loading and transport, the tow-bar has to be
locked in an upright position by turning up the locking
bolt.
When loading and transporting, the tow-bar must be
located vertical by moving the latch (1).
OPERATING THE ENGINE (Honda)
Starting the engine
Important: To prevent engine damage through oil
deficiency, the engine is provided with a low oil
warning system. If the oil level is too low, the engine
switches off automatically (the engine switch remains
in the ON position).
1. Move fuel tap (3) to “ON”.
2. Move choke lever (2) to “CLOSE”.
3. Adjust engine speed control lever (1) to full
load.
4. Move engine switch (5) to “ON”.
5. Pull starter handle (4) slightly until a resistance
is felt, then pull out sharply.
6. Allow engine to warm up for 1 to 2 minutes.
7. As the engine warms up, gradually move the
choke lever to the “OPEN” position.
Attention:
- DO NOT allow starter handle to rebound
against the engine. Guide starter cable back by
hand to the rest position.
- DO NOT operate choke lever if engine is warm
or at high outside temperature.
