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. The normal slack should be approximately 1O-15mm(1/2”)when the
belts are forcibly depressed in the middle position between the two sheaves. If there is excess belt play,
there could be a decrease in the impact force or erratic vibration, causing machine damage.
Check the engine oil level and if the engine oil level is low, it should be relled. Use the proper motor oil
as suggested in the table on page 3. See Fig. 1
Remove the oil plug in the vibrator assembly and check the oil level. Make sure the compactor is level
when checking. The oil level should be up to the oil plug. Every month or every 200 hours of operation,
replace the oil.
lMPORTANT: Use the motor oil SAE When changing the oil, the old oil can be drained by tipping the unit.
The oil will drain easily while it is hot.
A regular grade gasoline should be used in the engine. When lling the fuel tank, make sure the fuel
lter is used.
CAUTION: Be careful with the operating place and ventilation. Avoid operating the machine in a closed
room, tunnel, or other badly ventilated places since its exhaust contains deadly poisonous carbon
monoxide. If the machine is employed unavoidable operated in such a place, discharge the exhaust out
side the room by a suitable mean.
Observe with the following cautions when transporting: Clamp fuel tank cap securely and turn the fuel
valve OFF at the source during draining gasoline from fuel tank before transporting over a long distance
or on rough roads.
Stop the engine before replenishing fuel tank. Never replenish gasoline while the engine is running or
remains hot otherwise spilled or evaporated fuel is liable to catch re from engine sparks or mufer heat.
Wipe off spilled fuel, if any, before starting engine. Be careful not to spill fuel.
Keep inammables away from the vicinity of the exhaust port. Be careful with gasoline match, straw and
other inammables, since the exhaust port is subjected to a high temperature.
