 Do not move choke control to CLOSE to stop engine. Backfire or engine damage 

may occur.

Idle Speed 

Set throttle control lever to its "low" position to reduce stress on the engine when 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.

Maintenance

Maintaining your compactor will insure long life to the machine and its components.

Preventive Maintenance

1. Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.

2. Keep the engine's throttle lever in its SLOW position, and remove spark plug wire from spark 

plug and secure.

3. Inspect the general condition of the plate compactor. Check for loose screws, misalignment 

or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other condition that may affect 

its safe operation.

4. Remove all debris from the plate compactor with a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air. 

Then use a premium quality lightweight machine oil to lubricate all moving parts.

5. Clean the bottom of the compactor base as soon as it begins to pick up soil being compact-

ed. The unit can not do a good job if the bottom surface is not smooth and clean.

6. Replace spark plug wire.

Never use a "pressure Washer" to clean your plate compactor. Water can 

penetrate tight areas of the unit and cause damage to spindles, pulleys, bearings, 

or the engine. The use of pressure washers will result in shortened life and 

reduce serviceability.

Checking V-Belt

To ensure optimum power transmission from the engine to the eccentric shaft, the V-belt

must be in good condition and operate under proper tension.

1. Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.

2. Remove the belt guard to access the V-belt.

3. Check the condition of the V-belt. If any V-belt is cracked, frayed, or glazed, it should 

be replaced as soon as convenient.

4. Check the V-belt tension by squeezing them in the center. The normal deflection 

on each side should be 9mm (3/8") to 13mm(1/2") with moderate pressure from

 your thumb or finger.

• On new machines or after installing a new belt, check belt tension after first 

20 hours of operation. Check and adjust belt every 50 hours thereafter.

Tensioning V-Belt

Proper belt tension is critical to good performance.

Proper adjustment will assure long belt life.

Too much or too little belt tension will cause 

premature belt failure.

1. Loosen 4 engine mount bolts (do not 

remove) only enough to move the 

engine forward.
