Whichever is first. If any fault is discovered, the
compactor must not be used until the fault is
rectified. Immediately upon taking delivery of
your new equipment and before putting it into
service:
Read the handbook completely-it could save a
great deal of unnecessary expense.
Read the engine manual supplied.
1. Check the general condition of the equip-
ment-has it been damaged during delivery?
2. Check engine oil level.
3. Check fuel levels.
4. Recommend lubricants are detailed in the
CARE AND MAINTENANCE section.
INSTALLING BLADE
1. Be certain that the spark plug is disconnect-
ed or saw is unplugged.
2. Remove the blade shaft nut, and take off
outside blade shaft flange.
3. Clean off any foreign particles on the clamp-
ing surfaces of flanges and on the mounting
surface of the blade.
4. Place the blade on the blade shaft, lining up
the offset drive pin in the blade with the drive
pin in the mounting collar (if the pin system is
available on the machine). If your blade has a
directional rotational arrow, position arrow for
down cut (diamond tail trailing for down cut).
5. Replace the outside blade shaft flange on
the blade shaft. Drive pin on the inside col-
lar must project through the drive hole in the
blade and into the outside collar (if the pin sys-
tem is available on the machine).
6. Tighten the blade shaft nut securely against
star washer and outside flange, using wrench
supplied.
7. Reconnect the spark plug or (with switch
”off”) plug in the electric supply cord.
TYPES OF CUTTING
Cut speed depends entirely on using the cor-
rect blade for the material to be cut. Wet or
dry, diamond blades of various specifications
are available for cutting concrete or asphalt.
BEFORE STARTING
1. Use correct blade for cutting conditions.
2. Ensure arbors and flanges are clean and un-
damaged.
3. Mount blade and tighten securely using
wrench.
4. When wet cutting, check water jets for ad-
equate flow.
5. Align pointer with cutter blade.
CAUTION: Set unit up in an open area.
Avoid close proximity to structures or other
equipment. Failure to do so may cause inad-
vertent injury to operator or other persons in
the area.
COLD START
1. Open the fuel valve under the gas tank all
the way.
2. Position the engine stop switch, located on
the engine, to run.
3. Open the throttle approximately half way
and apply the choke.
4. Pull the starter rope sharply.
5. When the engine start, open the choke and
adjust the throttle as necessary to keep it run-
ning.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few
minutes before placing it under the load. If the
engine doesn’t start after 3 pulls, open choke
slightly to prevent flooding. Always operate
the engine at full throttle when under load.
HOT START
Open the valve under the gas tank all the way
if it has been shut off. Open the throttle ap-
proximately half way. Do not apply the choke.
Pull the starter rope sharply until the engine
starts. When the engine starts, adjust the
throttle. Always operate the engine at full
throttle when under load.
NOTE: These starting instructions are general
guidelines only. Since many engine options are
available, consult the Engine Manual included
with this unit for specific instructions.
CAUTION: Gasoline Engines-To improve the
engine service life, allow the engine to idle
without load for 2 to 5 minutes before shut-
ting it down. When the idling period is up, use
the stop switch located on the engine and turn
it to stop. Close the fuel valve under the gas
tank. Engine flooding can occur if the valve is
left open during transport.
TO START CUTTING
1. Start engine and let engine warm up. All cut-
ting is done at full throttle.
2. Align blade and cutter with cut. If wet cut-
ting, open water valve and turn water safety
switch on.
