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 descent.
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
to stop engine. Backfire or engine damage may oc-
cur.

Idle speed
Set throttle control lever (1) to its SLOW
position to reduce stress on the engine when com-
pacting 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.
11. Cleaning
m ATTENTION!
Always shut the engine down and remove the spark
plug connector before carrying out any cleaning work.
We recommend that you clean the device directly af-
ter every use.
Remove all debris from the plate compactor with a
soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air.
Clean the bottom of the compactor base as soon as it
begins to pick up soil being compacted. The unit can
not do a good job if the bottom surface is not smooth
and clean.
Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents; they could attack the plastic
parts of the device. Make sure that no water can pen-
etrate the device interior.
m ATTENTION!
Never use a "pressure washer" to clean your plate
compactor. Water can penetrate tight areas of the unit
and cause damage to spindles, pulleys, bearings, or
the engine. The use of pressure washers will result in
shortened life and reduce serviceability.
12. Transport
See technical data for the weight of the machine. To
avoid burns or fire hazards, let engine cool before lift-
ing/transporting machine or storing indoors.
When changing the machine position, it can be
equipped with the enclosed wheel kit (f) (see assem-
bling the wheel kit).
Loading the machine:
Lift unit by lift hook (3) on roll cage. Use a reliable
chain, cable or strap of adequate lifting capacity. The
unit must be transported in the upright position to pre-
vent fuel from spilling. Do not lay machine on its side
or top.
Secure or tie down unit using lift hook (3) or roll cage
when transporting.
m Machine may fall and cause damage or injury if
lifted incorrectly. Lift by lift hook (3) only.
