If using the optional Wheel Kit attachment the handle latch must
ALWAYS
be engaged using the following procedure.
1. Twist the handle latch knob to engage the handle latch and lock the handle.
2. Once the handle is locked into place, pull the wheel kit securing strap upwards to release the wheel kit. Lower the wheel kit to
the
ground.
3. Tip the whole machine forward onto the front edge of the baseplate and allow the wheel kit to slide underneath the baseplate.
4. The machine is now ready to be transported in a backwards direction using the wheel k
ALWAYS pull the machine backwards when using the optional Wheel Kit attachment.
CAUTION
OPERATING THE MACHINE
Having carried out the Pre-Start Checks listed in the Safety Instructions section of this manual, you may start the power unit.
The vibrator will not only cause the baseplate to vibrate but will also cause the machine to travel forward. During normal operation you
should not have to push the machine forwards but allow it to travel at its own pace. The speed of travel will be determined by the
condition of the surface being compacted.
If the surface to be compacted is on a slope, great care must be taken when controlling the machine’s direction of travel. If
necessary, use a suitable rope attached to the machine at a low point on the chassis, to allow a helper to take part of the
machine’s weight. Work up and down a slope not across.
Work the compactor over the surface in an organised pattern until the required compaction has been achieved.
