15.3.2 Checking the fuel tank level

Observe the safety regulations for fuel control. Filter the fuel during refuelling to pre-
vent foreign particles from entering the combustion chamber. Wipe up leaked fuel.
1. Screw on the tank cap (sits on the fuel tank).
2. Level check in the form of a visual inspection. If necessary, top up with fuel with the appro-
priate octane number (RON 95).
3. Close the fuel filler cap tightly after refuelling.

OPERATION


Save the working environment before you start compressing.
 Only put the machine into operation after you have read and understood the safety instruc-
tions and carried out the necessary measures before initial commissioning.
 The correct moisture content of the soil is very important for correct compaction. Compac-
tion of dry materials is facilitated by moistening the material. Too much moisture, on the
other hand, leaves water-filled cavities which weaken the load-bearing capacity of the soil.
 Wetness or excessive irrigation can lead to overloading and engine death.

Information on Initial Start-up

Note that the machine is delivered without fuel. Make sure that this equipment is
filled up before the machine is put into operation for the first time.
ATTENTION: The machine does not start until the engine oil has been refilled to the
upper limit.
16.1.1

Test Run Initial Start-up


Let the machine run idle for about 3 minutes.

Pay attention to abnormal noises.
 Pay attention to the exhaust fumes (too black, too white)?

16.1.2 Notes on the first 20 operating hours

In order to optimize the life expectancy of your machine, the following points should be observed:
 Do not operate the engine for the first 20 operating hours @ maximum load (this also applies
to used engines after extensive maintenance). This means lower speed and lower maximum
working load than during normal operation.
 Change the engine oil after the first 20 hours of operation.
16.2

Operating Instructions


Never use the recoil-starter while the engine is running. This will damage the engine.
 The pull mechanism for changing the engine speed is limited by an adjusting screw. This is
factory set. Never change this setting on your own, you could overload the motor.
 Do not operate the machine on slopes of more than 20°, as even with an optimum oil level
the engine may not be supplied with sufficient lubrication.
 In the direction of the vibratory plate and within a range of one meter around the vibrator,
nobody but the operator must stand.
 During the compaction the soil should first be compacted about 10 to 15 cm inside the edge
two to three times, then the edge should be compacted.
 When working inside the building, the vibrating plate or eccentric block must not attach the
walls.
 If several vibrator plates are used simultaneously on one surface, the parallel distance be-
tween the machines should not be less than five metres and the distance between the front
and rear machines should not be less than ten metres.

4. Pull out the oil dipstick again and read off the oil level.
There are two markings for this - see illustration on the
left.
5. If the oil level is low, refill the recommended oil up to the
upper edge (maximum filling volume: approx. 0.5 litres).
6. Push in the oil dipstick again and tighten.
