Maintenance
Checking the Compactor
Shoe
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
Among the most critical elements of the machine is
the compactor shoe. It is also the most subject to
damage and wear. In the course of compacting a wide
array of granular objects, the machine encounters
numerous abrasives and objects, such as dirt, stones,
and occasionally a large rock or buried scrap.
The wear of the compactor shoe can significantly
impair the efficiency and performance of the machine.
Therefore, it is important to make frequent checks of
the condition of the compactor shoe for leaks and
cracks. (

Cleaning
Removing Debris from the
Machine
Regular cleaning and washing will increase the life
span of the machine. Clean the machine immediately
after use, before the dirt hardens.
Check before cleaning that the fuel tank cap is
properly in place to avoid getting water in the tank.
Use care when using a high-pressure sprayer
because it can damage warning decals, instruction
signs, and the engine.
