4.3 Forward and reverse motion
The engine speed can be infinitely varied on the throttle control lever.
The direction of travel is determinate with the shift lever (6).
Depending on the position of the shift lever (6), the vibration plate compacts in forward
direction, at standstill or in reverse direction.
The forward and reverse speeds can be varied by selecting intermediate positions of the
shift lever (6) or the machine can be employed for particularly intensive compaction at
standstill.
4.4 Switching off
Never switch off the engine with the automatic decompression (2) as this inevitably results
in damage to the valve drive and decompression mechanism.
Move the throttle control lever (8) to the stop.
4.5 Compaction without extension plates
If the vibration plates are used without extension plates, screw set of protective screws (8
pes) into the threaded boreholes situated in the lower mass, in order to avoid threads from
being damaged.
