PLATE COMPACTOR
11
In operation, guide the machine, but let
the compactor do the work. Bearing down
on the handle is unnecessary and causes
shock absorber wear.
On level surfaces the compactor moves
forward rapidly. On uneven surfaces or
inclines, light forward pressure on handle
may be required to assist the compactor in
moving forward.
The number of passes required to reach
a desired compaction level will depend
on the type and moisture content of
soil. Maximum soil compaction has been
reached when excessive kickback is
noticed.

When using a compactor on asphalt,
Water Sprinkler Kit is required to
help prevent the bottom plate from
adhering to the hot asphalt surface.
When using plate on paving stones,
attach a pad to the bottom of
the plate to prevent chipping or
grinding surface of the stones. A
special urethane pad designed
for this purpose is available as an
optional accessory.
While a certain amount of moisture
in the soil is necessary, excessive
moisture may cause soil particles
to stick together and prevent good
compaction. If soil is extremely wet,
allow it to dry somewhat before
compacting.
If soil is so dry as to create dust
c l o u d s w h i l e o p e r a t i n g p l a t e ,
some moisture should be added
to the ground material to improve
compacting. This will also reduce
service to the air filter.
Stopping Engine
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply
turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
Under normal conditions, use the following
procedure.
Move the throttle lever to the SLOW
position.
Let engine idle for one or two minutes.
Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF
position.
Idle Speed
Set throttle control lever to its “low” position
t o r e d u c e s t r e s s o n t h e e n g i n e w h e n
compacting is not being performed. Lowering
the engine speed to idle the engine will
help extend the life of the engine, as well as
conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the
machine.
Do not move choke control to
CLOSE to stop engine. Backfire or
engine damage may occur.
