! CHEMICAL HAZARDS
DO NOT operate or refuel a petrol or diesel motor in a
confined area without adequate ventilation．
CARBON MONOXIDE exhaust gases from internal
combustion motor driven units can cause death in
confined spaces．
! NOISE HAZARDS
EXCESSIVE NOISE can lead to temporary or
permanent loss of hearing．
WEAR an approved hearing protection device to limit
noise exposure．As required by Occupational Health
and Safety regulations．
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
ALWAYS wear approved hearing protection when
working in a confined work space．Protective goggles
and a dust mask should be worn when working in a
dusty environment．Protective clothing and footwear
may also be desirable when working with hot mix
bitumen．
! ADDITIONAL HAZARDS
Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or
death．Beware of uneven or slippery work surfaces.
Exercise carew when working in the vicinity of
unprotected holes or excavations．
OPERATION
Pre-start-up Inspection
The following Pre-start-up inspection must be
performed before the start of each work session or
after every four hours of use．whichever is first．If any
fault is discovered, the compactor must not be used
until the fault is rectified．
1．Thoroughly inspect the compactor for signs of
damage ． Check components are present and
secure ． Pay special attention to the belt drive
safety guard fitted between the engine and the
vibrator unit．
2．Check the engine oil level and top up as necessary.
3．Check the engine fuel level and top up as necessary．
4．Check for fuel and oil leaks．

6．Hold the recoil starter handle with two hands and
pull it hardly．
7．it is difficult to start the engine at cold weather.
Remove the rubber plug on the cylinder head and
fill about 2CC engine oil before starting．
8．To stop the engine, set the governor lever to the
low speed position, then run the engine at zero
load five minutes．
9．Set the governor lever to the "STOP" position．Do
not stop the engine with the decompression lever．
10．Set the fuel cock the "OFF" position．
11．Pull the recoil starter handles slowly, until you feel
resistance．(At this point,the decompression just
begins and intake/exhaust valves are both closed,
thus the cylinder can be prevented from rust.)
12．Concerning the electric starting engine，directly
turn the starting key to "CLOSE" position．
