3.
Unscrew the inner wing nut (4b) and remove the
filter insert (4c).
4.
Wipe off dirt on the inside of the filter housing with
a clean moist cloth. Make sure that no direct en-
ters the opening. Set the air filter cover (4) on the
filter housing for the duration of the filter cleaning
process.
5.
Remove the filter insert (4c). Check it for damage
and replace it if necessary.
6.
Knock the filter insert (4c) against a hard surface
to remove the dirt. Never try to brush the dirt out
as this will press it into the fibres.
7.
If necessary, clean the filter insert (4c) addition-
ally in warm water and mild soap solution. Rinse
it thoroughly with clean water and let it dry well.
8.
Replace the clean filter insert (4c) and tighten the
inner wing nut (4b).
9.
Put on the air filter cover (4) and secure it with the
wing nut (4a).
m ATTENTION: Never run the engine without an air
filter insert (4c) or with a damaged air filter insert (4c).
This would allow dirt to enter the engine, which would
damage the engine. The manufacturer warranty is then
invalidated.
13.7 Cleaning/replacing the spark plug (Fig. 19)
m ATTENTION: Only replace the spark plug when the
engine is cold!
Check the spark plug for dirt for the first time after 10
operating hours and clean it with a copper wire brush if
necessary. Thereafter, replace the spark plug every 50
operating hours if necessary.
1.
Disconnect the spark plug cable and remove any
dirt in the spark plug area.
2.
Unscrew the spark plug (24) with the supplied
spark plug wrench.
3.
Check the insulation. Replace the spark plug if it
is damaged, e.g. cracked or fragmented.
4.
Clean the spark plug electrodes with a wire brush.
5.
Check the electrode gap and adjust it using a feel-
er gauge. To make sure that the engine remains
efficient, the spark plug must have the right elec-
trode gap (0.7-0.8 mm).
6.
Screw the spark plug (24) back in by hand and
tighten it about 1/4 turn with the spark plug
wrench supplied.
7.
Fit the spark plug cable onto the spark plug (24).

m ATTENTION!
A loose spark plug can overheat and cause damage
to the engine. Tightening the spark plug too much can
damage the thread in the cylinder head.
14. Storage
m DANGER!
Risk of fire and explosion!
Storing the product near potential sources of ignition
can result in a fire or an explosion. This can lead to
severe burns or death.
- Eliminate possible sources of ignition, such as fur-
naces, hot water boilers with gas, gas dryers, etc.
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
If the product is not stored properly, the engine can be
damaged.
- Store the product protected against dirt, dust and
moisture.
14.1 Storage during extended breaks in operation:
If the plate vibrator will not be used for a period of more
than 30 days, follow the steps below to prepare it for
storage.
1.
Empty the fuel tank completely (see section
13.4). Stored petrol containing ethanol or MTBE
becomes stale within 30 days. Stale petrol has a
high rubber content and can thus clog the carbu-
rettor and restrict the petrol supply.
2.
Drain the engine oil from the engine while it is still
warm. Top up with new oil. (See section 13.3.)
3.
Use clean cloths to clean the plate vibrator.
m Do not use aggressive or oil-based cleaning
agents when cleaning the plastic parts. Chem-
icals can damage plastics.
4.
Store the plate compactor in an upright position in
a clean, dry building with good ventilation.
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and
frost-free place that is inaccessible to children. The
optimum storage temperature is between 5 and 30˚C.
Store the device in its original packaging.
Cover the device to protect it from dust or moisture.
Store the operating instructions with the device.
