FORWARD PLATE COMPACTOR 79CC 2000LBS ITEM: 61014 OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THIS MANUAL: KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR SAFETY WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS, ASSEMBLY, OPERATING, INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING PROCEDURES.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Operate the plate compactor on flat, level surfaces only. Turn the engine OFF when the compactor is not in use. DO NOT operate or service this machine before reading this entire manual. Never operate this equipment without proper protective clothing, shatter proof ANSI-approved glasses, steel-toed boots, and other protective job site devices. NEVER operate the equipment while under the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol.
OPERATION The machine is best suited to the compaction of bituminous and granular materials e.g. granular soils, gravels and sands or mixtures of both. Cohesive soils such as silt and clay are best compacted using the impact force produced by a vibrating rammer. Where possible the site should be graded and levelled before commencing compaction. Correct moisture content in soil is vital to proper compaction. Water acts as a lubricant to help slide soil particles together.
OPERATION PRIOR TO OPERATION Make sure that all dirt, mud, etc., are thoroughly removed from the unit prior to operation. Special effort should be given to the button face of the vibrating plate and those areas adjacent to the cooling air inlet of engine, carburetor, and air cleaner. Check all bolts and screws for tightness and make sure all bolts and screws are securely tightened. Loose bolts and screws may cause damage to the unit. Check the V-belt for tightness.
OPERATION GASOLINE ENGINE STARTING THROTTLE LEVER 1. Turn the STOP SWITCH clock-wise to the position “1”(ON). FIG. 5D 2. Open the fuel cock. OPEN 30 DEGREES 3. Set the speed control lever 1/3 to 1/2 of the way towards the high speed position. 4.Close the choke lever. If the engine is warm or the ambient temperature is high, open the choke lever half-way, or keep it fully open. If the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is low, close the choke lever fully. STOP SWITCH 5.
OPERATION When compacting asphalt, it is advisable to paint the bottom face of the vibrating plate with diesel fuel. This will assist in preventing the plate from sticking to the as halt. When shutting off the vibrator, turn the speed control lever from the HIGH to LOW position. Do not move the speed control lever slowly. Transportation Be sure to stop the engine while transporting. Screw up the fuel tank cap securely and close the fuel valve to avoid fuel leaking.
MAINTENANCE Monthly Service Change the oil in the vibrator assembly. Storage When storing the compactor for long periods after operation. Thoroughly drain the fuel from the fuel tank fuel pipe and carburetor. Pour a few drops of motor oil into the cylinder by removing the spark plug. Rotate the engine several times by hand so that the cylinder interior is covered with oil. Clean the outer surface of the machine with an oil moistened cloth. Cover the unit and store in a humidity-free, dust-free area.
