Setup Product Overview Checking the Engine-Oil Level The machine comes from the factory with oil in the engine crankcase; however, it may be necessary to add oil. Refer to Checking the Engine-Oil Level (page 8). Add only enough oil to raise the level to the Full mark on the dipstick. Checking the Eccentric-Oil Level The machine comes from the factory with eccentric oil in the eccentric housing; however, it may be necessary to add oil. Refer to Checking the Eccentric-Oil Level (page 16).
Controls Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Checking the Engine-Oil Level Service Interval: Before each use or daily Oil type: API CD, CE, CF, CF-4, CG-4 or higher Refer to the table below to determine the correct oil viscosity for the ambient air temperature in which the machine is operated: Figure 4 5.

4. As soon as diesel fuel emerges, tighten the water-trap bolt. 5. Dispose of the water and the fuel according to environmental regulations. Cleaning Debris from the Machine Service Interval: Before each use or daily 1. Set the throttle to slow, stop the engine, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Figure 6 1. Minimum oil level WARNING 2. Maximum oil level Contact with hot parts on the machine can cause severe burns. 4. Unscrew the dipstick and wipe the end clean (Figure 6). 5.
Adding Fuel Diesel Fuel Specifications • The engine runs on clean, fresh ultra-low sulfur diesel Important: Do not mix oil with diesel. fuel with a minimum cetane rating of 40. Use ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel that complies with the following specification. The table lists 7 worldwide specifications for diesel fuels. • Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to ensure fuel freshness. • Use summer grade diesel fuel (No.

Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 25 hours • Change the engine oil. Before each use or daily • • • • Check the engine oil level. Check the water trap. Clean debris from the air-cleaner housing. Inspect the air cleaner element. Every 50 hours • Clean the air filter element. Clean it more frequently in dusty operating conditions. Every 100 hours • Change the engine oil. • Check the battery cable connections.

Note: Never try to brush dirt off the paper element; brushing forces the dirt into the fibers. G024104 5. Wipe dirt from the base and the cover with a moist rag. Figure 19 6. Install the air cleaner cartridge, ensure that it is properly positioned, and secure it with the knurled nut (Figure 18). 1. Fuel-tank cap 2. Fuel filter 4.
Servicing the Engine Oil Crankcase Capacity: RP-1200D – 1.1 liter (37 oz ) Crankcase Capacity: RP-1400D – 1.5 liter (50.7 oz) Oil type: API CD, CE, CF, CF-4, CG-4 or higher Refer to the table below to determine the correct oil viscosity for the ambient air temperature in which the machine is operated: Figure 21 1. Drain plug 3. Remove the drain plug (Figure 21). Note: You may have to tip the compactor backward to drain the oil. 4. When the oil has drained completely, replace the plug.
Cleaning the Oil Filter Servicing the Eccentric Oil Service Interval: Every 1,000 hours Oil capacity: 0.5 liter (6.9 oz ) 1. Drain the engine oil; refer to Changing the Engine Oil (page 15). Oil Type: Detergent oil (API service SJ or higher) 2. Loosen the socket-hex bolt approximately 5 turns counterclockwise (Figure 22). Oil viscosity: 15W-40 Checking the Eccentric-Oil Level Service Interval: Monthly 1. Move the machine to a level surface. 2.

Storage 1. Stop the engine. 2. Remove dirt and grime from the entire machine. Important: You can wash the machine with mild detergent and water. Do not pressure wash the machine. Avoid excessive use of water, especially near the engine. 3. Service the air cleaner; refer to Servicing the Air Cleaner (page 13). 4. Change the engine oil; refer to Changing the Engine Oil (page 15). 5. Fill the fuel tank; refer to Filling the Fuel Tank (page 10). 6. Check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws.
Troubleshooting Problem The engine will not start, starts hard, or fails to keep running. The plate does not vibrate at full speed. The clutch is extremely hot. The plate does not vibrate when the engine is running. Possible Cause Corrective Action 1. The fuel tank is empty. 1. Fill the fuel tank with fuel. 2. The air cleaner is dirty. 2. Clean or replace the air cleaner element. 1. The oil level in the eccentric housing is too high. 1. Check the oil level and drain as necessary. 2.
