Start and Stop Procedure
Honda GX120 & GX160
1. Open the fuel tap by moving the fuel ON / OFF lever fully to the right.
2. If starting the engine from cold, set the choke ON by moving the choke lever fully
to the left. If restarting a warm engine, the choke is usually not required, however,
if the engine has cooled to a degree, partial choke may be required.
3. Turn the engine ON / OFF switch clockwise to the ‘I’ position.
4. Set the throttle to the idle position by moving the throttle lever fully to the right. Do
not start the engine on full throttle, as the compactor will vibrate as soon as the
engine starts.
5. Taking a firm hold of the control handle with one hand, grasp the recoil starter
handle with the other. Pull the recoil starter until engine resistance is felt, then
let starter return.
6. Taking care not to pull the starter’s rope fully out, pull the starter handle briskly.
7. Repeat until the engine fires.
8. Once the engine fires gradually set the choke lever to the OFF position by moving it to the right.
9. If the engine fails to fire after several attempts, follow the trouble-shooting guide on page 8.
10. To stop the engine, set the throttle to idle and turn the engine ON / OFF switch anticlockwise to the ‘0’ position.
11. Turn the fuel off.

Improper maintenance can be hazardous. Read and Understand this section before you perform any
maintenance, service or repairs.
CAUTION
Reasons For Compaction
Soil, which has been disturbed or new infill, subbase and blacktop, will have small voids or air pockets which, if not compacted, will
lead to one or more problems occurring.
1. As traffic crosses the surface of an uncompacted area, the material is compressed. This leads to subsidence of the top
surface as the material fills the voids.
2. A similar situation occurs with static loads on uncompacted ground. The load (e.g. a building) will sink.
3. Materials with voids are more susceptible to water seepage, leading to erosion. Water ingress may also cause the soil
to expand during freezing temperatures and contract during dry spells. Expansion and contraction is a major cause of
damage to building foundations and normally leads to the structure requiring underpinning.
Compaction increases the density of the material and therefore increases its load bearing capacity. Reduces air voids
and therefore reduces the risk of subsidence, expansion and contraction, due to ingress of water.

Applications
Applications/materials fall into three categories:
1. Cohesive materials (less than 20% granular) e.g clay, silt & heavy soils.
2. Granular materials (more than 20% granular) e.g hard core, sand & light soils.
3. Bituminous materials e.g asphalt (tarmac), cold lay (bitumin emulsion products).
Moisture content of cohesive & granular materials is critical to effective compaction. If granular material is too dry it will flow around the
plate instead of compacting. If the moisture content is too high the material may dry out after compaction and shrinkage will occur.
