3.4 To Stop

3.4.3 Close fuel valve by moving lever to the left (a2).
3.5 Application
This plate is designed for compacting loose, granular soils, gravel, and paving stones. It
is intended to be used in confined areas and areas next to structures such as walls, curbs,
and foundations. Plates equipped with water tanks can be used for compacting asphalt.
3.6 Operation
(Fig.2)
Run engine at full throttle and allow plate to pull itself along at its normal speed. When
operating on an incline it may be necessary to assist plate by pushing it forward slightly.
Depending on the material being compacted, three or four passes are recommended to
achieve the best compaction.
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 clouds while operating plate, some moisture should be
added to the ground material to improve compaction. This will also reduce service to
the air filter.
When using the plate on paving stones, attach a pad to the bottom of the plate to pre-
vent chipping or grinding surface of the stones. A special polyurethane pad designed for
this purpose is available as an optional accessory.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate plate on concrete or on extremely hard, dry, compacted
surfaces. The plate will jump rather than vibrate and could damage both plate and
engine.
