Checking the engine oil (fig. I -R)
• Take the oil dipstick (16) and clean.
• Insert the oil dipstick (16) in and check the oil lever
without screwing down.
• If the oil is too low, add the recommenced oil in.
• After finishing, reassemble and screw the oil dip-
stick (16) down.
Check fuel (fig. S)
• First stop the engine, open the fuel cover (12), and
check oil level. If the oil level is too low, add the fuel
to full, after finishing, screw the fuel cover down.
• Don't add the fuel over the shoulder of the carburet-
tor when fueling (maximum oil level).
• Recommended octane rating over 90 unleaded
gasoline For unleaded gasoline, can make carbon
deposit muck less and enhance exhaust system
service life.
• Don't use used and contaminated or gasoline with
oil , Avoid the dirt and water entering into fuel tank.
Starting engine (fig. I + K)
• Move the fuel valve lever (11) to the ON position.
To start a cold engine, move the choke (10) to the
CLOSE position
• If the choke lever (10) has been moved to the
CLOSE position to start the engine, gradual-
ly move it to the OPEN
warms up.
• To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever (10)
in the OPEN position.
• Turn the engine switch (17) to the ON position.
• Operate the recoil starter (14).
Recoil starter (5) (fig. A)
Pull the starter grip (14) lightly until you feel resistance,
then pull briskly, return the starter grip (14) gently. If
the choke lever (10) has been moved to the CLOSE
position to start the engine, gradually move it to
the OPEN position as the engine warms up. After
engine warms up, pull throttle lever (1) to accelerate
engine speed. Plate will begin vibrating and proceed
with compacting.
Forward motion
The plate compactor moves forwards automatically
when the throttle is opened fully.
m ATTENTION!
Do not operate plate on concrete or on extremely
hard, dry, compacted surfaces. The plate will jump
rather than vibrate and could damage both plate and
engine.
The number of passes required to reach a desired
compaction level will depend on the type and mois-
ture content of soil. Maximum soil compaction has
been reached when excessive kickback is noticed.

When using plate on paving stones, attach a rubber
pad (c) to the bottom of the plate to prevent chipping
or grinding surface of the stones.
While a certain amount of moisture in the soil is nec-
essary, excessive moisture may cause soil particles
to stick together and prevent good compaction. If
soil is extremely wet, allow it to dry somewhat before
compacting.
If soil is so dry as to create dust clouds while oper-
ating plate, some moisture should be added to the
ground material to improve compacting. This will also
reduce service to the air filter.
The following points are to be observed when com-
pacting on sloped surfaces (slopes, embankments):
Only approach gradients from the bottom (a gradient
which can be easily overcome upwards can also be
compacted downwards without any risk).
The operator must never stand in the direction of de-
scent.
The max. gradient of 25° must not be exceeded.
m ATTENTION!
If this gradient were exceeded, this would result in
a failure of the engine lubrication system (splash lu-
brication and thus inevitably lead to a breakdown of
important engine components.
Stopping engine
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the
engine switch (17) to the OFF position. Under normal
conditions, use the following procedure.
• To stop the compactor from traveling, return the en-
gine throttle lever (1) to idle
• Allow engine to cool down for one or two minutes
before stopping.
• Turn the engine switch (17) to ''OFF" position.
• Turn off the fuel valve (11) where applicable.
m ATTENTION!
Do not move choke control (10) to CLOSE
engine. Backfire or engine damage may occur.
Idle speed
Set throttle control lever (1) to its SLOW
tion to reduce stress on the engine when compacting
is not being performed.
Lowering the engine speed to idle the engine will help
extend the life of the engine, as well as conserve fuel
and reduce the noise level of the machine.
