12.3 Changing the engine oil (Fig. 12, 13)
After 25 working hours, the 1st oil change must be car-
ried out. Thereafter, after 100 operating hours.
Recommended engine oil SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 (de-
pending on the operating temperature).
To drain the engine oil, please proceed as follows:
1. Remove the flexible hose (18) with an open-end-
ed 17 mm spanner (not included in the scope of
delivery) and drain the engine oil into a suitable
tray. Make sure that the sealing ring installed in
the flexible hose (18) does not get lost.
2. When the engine oil is completely drained, secure
the flexible hose (18) to the device again.
3. Unscrew the engine oil dipstick (14). Fill the oil
using a funnel (not included in scope of delivery).
4. Check the oil level with the engine oil dipstick
(14). Re-insert the oil dipstick (14) and check the
oil level without screwing the dipstick tight again.
5. Screw the engine oil dipstick (14) in again.
6. Pull the starter cable (8) 5x slowly to distribute the
oil (without ignition).
12.4 Drain petrol with a petrol extraction pump
(Fig. 14, 15)
The petrol must be drained in the event of storage over
a longer period of time or if the oil in the eccentric vi-
bration unit is being replaced.
1. Close the fuel valve (15).
2. Hold a collection bucket under the hose of the pet-
rol extraction pump (not included in the scope of
delivery).
3. Unscrew and remove the fuel filler cap (5).
4. Remove the fuel filter insert (5a).
5. Push the hose of the petrol extraction pump into
the fuel tank and drain the petrol completely using
the petrol extraction pump.
6. Reinsert the fuel filter insert (5a).
7. Retighten the fuel filler cap (5).
8. To ensure that no petrol remains in the carburet-
tor, the remaining petrol must be drained out of the
carburettor. To do this, place a suitable container
(not included in the scope of delivery) under the
carburettor and open the carburettor screw (15a).
12.5 Changing the oil in the eccentric vibration
unit (Fig. 16, 17)
Due to the weight, we advise you to carry out this work
with two people! We recommend changing the eccen-
tric vibration unit's oil after 300 operating hours.
Change the eccentric vibration unit's oil only when the
eccentric vibration unit has cooled down.
Recommended low-viscosity gear oil SAE 10W-40.
1. Drain the petrol as described in 13.4.
2. Drain the engine oil as described in 13.3.
3. Remove the oil drain screw (22) at the top of the
eccentric vibration unit housing and tilt the plate
compactor forward.
4. Allow the oil to drain into a tray.
5. Return the plate compactor to its original position.
6. Fill the eccentric vibration unit housing (9) with
low-viscosity gear oil (10W40) using a funnel (not
included in the scope of delivery). Note the max.
filling capacity of 80-100 ml.
7. Screw the oil drain screw (22) back in.
m ATTENTION!
Do not overfill the tank! Too much oil in the eccentric
vibration unit can reduce performance and overheat
the eccentric vibration unit.
Eccentric vibration unit
An eccentric weight on the eccentric shaft inside
the eccentric vibration unit housing is driven, at high
speeds, by a clutch and belt drive system.
These high rotational speeds of the shaft cause the
rapid up and down movements of the machine as well
as the forward movement.
12.6 Air filter maintenance (Fig. 18)
m DANGER!
Risk of fire and explosion!
If not cleaned correctly, fuel may ignite and even ex-
plode. This can lead to severe burns or death.
- Clean the air filter only by knocking it out.
- Never clean the air filter with petrol or flammable
solvents.
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
Operating the engine without the filter element in place
can cause engine damage.
- Never run the engine without the air filter element
in place.
A fouled filter insert (4b, 4c) diminishes the engine out-
put due to reduced air supply to the carburettor. Regu-
lar inspection is therefore essential.
The air filter should be checked every 50 operating
hours and cleaned as required.
1. Undo the fixing screw (4a) by turning it anti-clock-
wise.
