- Collect drained oil in a suitable container.
- Wipe up spilled oil carefully immediately and dis-
pose of the cloth according to local regulations.
- Dispose of oil as per local regulations.
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
If incorrectly stored or undrained fuel is used, the car-
burettor may become clogged or engine operation may
be affected.
- Put unused fuel in an airtight vessel and store it in
a dark, cool room.
Check before operation
• Check all sides of the engine for oil or fuel leaks.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the fuel level – the tank should be at least
half-full.
• Check the condition of the air filter.
• Check the condition of the fuel lines.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all protective covers are in place and all
screws, nuts and bolts are tightened.
9.1 Filling up with engine oil (Fig. 12)
m Attention!
The plate compactor is delivered without engine
oil. Therefore, ensure that you add oil before start-
ing it up. Use multigrade oil (SAE 10W-30 or 10W-
40 (depending on the operating temperature)) for
this.
Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An
oil level that is too low can damage the engine.
1. Place the plate compactor on a level, even sur-
face.
2. Unscrew the oil dipstick (14).
3. Fill the tank with engine oil using a funnel (not in-
cluded in scope of delivery). Do not exceed the
maximum filling level from the Technical Data.
Carefully fill the oil up to the lower edge of the fill-
ing port.
4. Wipe the oil dipstick (14) with a clean, lint-free
cloth.
5. Re-insert the oil dipstick (14) and check the oil lev-
el without screwing the dipstick tight again.
6. The oil level must be within the middle mark on
the oil dipstick.
7. If the oil level is too low, add the recommended
amount of oil. In doing so, note the max. filling ca-
pacity from the Technical Data
8. Then screw the oil dipstick (14) in again.
9.2 Filling up with petrol (Fig. 13)
m Attention!
The plate compactor is delivered without petrol. It
is therefore essential to fill with petrol before com-
missioning. Use Super E5 / E10 petrol for this.
1. Clean the area surrounding the filling area. Impuri-
ties in the tank lead to operational faults.
2. Carefully open the tank cover (5) so that any possi-
ble overpressure can be relieved.
3. Fill the tank with petrol (Super E5 / E10) using a
funnel (not included in scope of delivery). Observe
the maximum filling quantity as specified in the
technical data. Carefully fill the petrol up to the
lower edge of the filling nozzle.
4. Close the tank cover (5) again. Ensure that the fuel
cap is tightly sealed.
5. Clean the fuel cap and the surroundings.
6. Check the tank and fuel lines for leaks.
7. Move at least three meters away from the refuel-
ling area before starting the engine.
• Do not use petrol that has already been used or that
is contaminated. Do not allow dirt or water to enter
the fuel tank.
10. Starting up
10.1 Starting the engine (Fig. 1+2+9+10)
On/off switch (23) (Fig. 10)
The ON/OFF switch (23) activates and deactivates the
ignition system. The ON/OFF switch (23) must be in the
ON position for the engine to run.
The engine stops when the ON/OFF switch (23) is
moved to the OFF position.
Throttle (2)
The throttle (2) controls the speed of the machine. If the
lever is moved in the directions shown, the engine runs
faster or slower.
Fast / working position =
Slow / Idle =
Shift lever (26)
Move the shift lever (26) forward and the machine will
move forward. Move the shift lever (26) back, and the
machine will move backwards. Move the gear lever (26)
to the centre, i.e. to the neutral position, and the ma-
