m ATTENTION!
When you remove or attach the V-belt (19b), make sure
that your fingers do not get caught between the belt
and the pulley.
NOTE!
Product damage
Using the product without or with too little engine and
gearbox oil can result in engine damage.
- Fill with petrol and oil before commissioning. The
product is supplied without engine and gearbox oil.
NOTE!
Environmental damage!
Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently.
The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water
pollution.
- Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces.
- Use a filling nozzle or funnel.
- 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.
12.3 Changing the engine oil (Fig. 11 + 12)
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.
Guide the flexible hose (18) into a suitable tray.
Open the hose clamp (18a) on the flexible hose
(18) and remove the screw cap (18b).
2.
Open the oil dipstick (14) and allow the oil to drain
by tilting the product.
3.
Once the engine oil has been completely drained,
close the flexible hose (18) again using the screw
cap (18b) and the hose clamp (18a).
4.
Fill the oil using a funnel (not included in scope of
delivery).
5.
Check the oil level with the oil dipstick (14). Re-in-
sert the oil dipstick (14) and check the oil level
without screwing the dipstick tight again.
6.
Screw the oil dipstick (14) in again.
7.
Pull the starter cable (8) 5x slowly to distribute the
oil. The on/off switch (23) must be switched off for
this.
12.4 Draining the petrol (Fig. 13 + 14)
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 drain screw
(15a) on the float chamber and open it.
3.
Now remove the tank cover (5) and open the fuel
tap (15).
4.
Once the system has been completely drained,
screw the drain plug (15a) back into place.
12.5 Changing the oil in the eccentric vibration
unit (Fig. 15 + 16)
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 200 operating hours.
Change the eccentric vibration unit's oil only when the
eccentric vibration unit has cooled down.
Recommended low-viscosity gear oil SAE 80W-90 /
75W-90.
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) on the side of the
eccentric housing and tilt the plate compactor to
the side to drain the oil.
4.
Allow the oil to drain into a suitable tray.
5.
Return the plate compactor to its original position
and screw the oil drain plug (22) back in.
6.
Fill the eccentric vibration unit housing (9) with
low-viscosity gear oil (80W-90 / 75W-90) using a
funnel (not included in the scope of delivery). Ob-
serve the maximum filling quantity specified in the
table for technical data.
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.
