Operation 4. VP 1135A/AW Operation 4.1 Recommended Fuel The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh, clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage fuel system. Consult engine Owner’s Manual for complete fuel specifications. 4.2 Application This plate is designed for compacting loose, granular soils, gravel, and paving stones. It is intended to be used in confined areas and areas next to structures such as walls, curbs, and foundations.
PAGE 16
VP 1135A/AW 4.4 Operation To Start See Graphic: wc_gr000014 4.4.1 Open fuel valve by moving lever to the right (a1). Note: If engine is cold, move choke lever to close position (b1). If engine is hot, set choke to open position (b2). 4.4.2 Turn engine switch to “ON” (e1). 4.4.3 Open throttle by moving it slightly to left (d1). 4.4.4 Pull starter rope (c). Note: If the oil level in the engine is low, the engine will not start. If this happens, add oil to engine.
PAGE 17
Operation 4.6 VP 1135A/AW Operation Run the engine at full throttle and allow the plate to pull itself along at its normal speed. When operating on an incline it may be necessary to assist the plate by pushing it forward slightly. When operating downhill hold the plate back slightly, if it begins to pick up speed. Depending on the material being compacted, three or four passes are recommended to achieve the best compaction.

Maintenance VP 1135A/AW 5.14 Troubleshooting Problem / Symptom Reason / Remedy Plate does not develop full speed. Poor compaction. • Engine throttle control not completely open. • Throttle control not adjusted correctly. • Ground too wet, plate sticking. Allow soil to dry before compacting. • Drive belt loose or worn, slipping on pulleys. Adjust or replace belt. Check that engine mounting bolts are tight. • Exciter bearings binding. Check condition and level of oil in exciter. Add or change oil.
