■ FUEL SAFETY

Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapours
can explode if ignited. Take precautions
when using to reduce the chance of serious
personal injury. When refilling or draining
the fuel tank, use an approved fuel storage
container while in a clean, well-ventilated
outdoor. Do not smoke, or allow sparks,
open flames or other sources of ignition
near the area while adding fuel or operating
the unit. Never fill fuel tank indoors. Keep
grounded conductive objects, such as tools,
away from exposed, live electrical parts and
connections to avoid sparking or arcing.
These events could ignite fumes or vapours.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool
■ MACHINE USE AND CARE
Never pick up or carry a machine while the
engine is running. Do not force the machine.
Use the correct machine for your applica-
tion. The correct machine will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed. Do not change the engine gover-
nor settings or over-speed the engine. The
governor controls the maximum safe oper-
ating speed of the engine. Do not run the
engine at a high speed when you are not
compacting. Do not put hands or feet near
rotating parts. Avoid contact with hot fuel,
GB
oil, exhaust fumes and hot surfaces. Do not
touch the engine or muffler. These parts get
extremely hot from operation.
■ SERVICE
Before cleaning, repair, inspecting, or ad-
justing shut off the engine and make cer-
tain all moving parts have stopped. Always
make sure the engine switch is in its "OFF"
To avoid injury, keep hands, fingers and
feet away from the base plate. Grip the han-
dle of the plate compactor firmly with both
hands. If both hands are holding the han-
dle and your feet are clear of the compactor
base, your hands, fingers and feet can not
be injured by the compactor base. Always
operate the machine from behind, never
pass or stand in front of the machine when
the engine is running. Never place tools or
any other item under the plate compactor. If
the unit strikes a foreign object, stop the en-
gine, disconnect the spark plug, thoroughly
inspect the machine for any damage, and

improve your footing on slippery surfaces.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the machine
in unexpected situations. Avoid accidental
starting. Be sure the engine switch is off
before filling the fuel tank. Never remove the
cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the en-
gine is running or when the engine is hot. Do
not operate the machine with known leaks
in the fuel system. Loose the fuel tank cap
slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
Never overfill fuel tank (there should be no
fuel above the upper limit mark) Replace all
fuel tank and container caps securely and
wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit
without the fuel cap securely in place. Avoid
creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel.
If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine.
Move the machine away from the area of
They remain hot for a short time after you
turn off the unit. Allow the engine to cool
before doing maintenance or making adjust-
ments. If the machine should start to make
an unusual noise or vibration, immediately
shut off the engine, disconnect the spark
plug wire, and check for the cause. Unusual
noise or vibration is generally warning of
trouble. Use only attachments and accesso-
ries approved by the manufacturer. Failure
to do so can result in personal injury. Main-
tain the machine. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
machine's operation. If damaged, have the
position. Disconnect the spark plug wire,
and keep the wire away from the plug to pre-
vent accidental starting. Have your machine
serviced by qualified repair personnel using
Specific Safety Rules m
repair the damage before restarting and
operating the machine. Do not overload the
machine capacity by compacting too deep
in a single pass or at too fast a rate. Never
operate the unit at high transport speeds on
hard or slippery surfaces. Exercise extreme
caution when operating on or crossing grav-
el drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hid-
den hazards or traffic. Do not carry passen-
gers. Never leave the operating position and
leave the plate compactor unattended when
the engine is running. Always stop the en-
gine when compacting is delayed or when
walking from one location to another.

designed and approved for this purpose.
Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area,
safely away from sparks, open flames or
other sources of ignition. Never store fuel or

like. Allow the engine to cool before storing

cidents are caused by poorly maintained
equipment. Keep the engine and muffler
free of grass, leaves, excessive grease or
carbon build up to reduce the chance of a
fire hazard. Never douse or squirt the unit
with water or any other liquid. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from debris. Clean af-
ter each use. Observe proper disposal laws
and regulations for gas, oil, etc. to protect
the environment. Store idle machine out of

Stay away from the edge of ditches and
avoid actions that may cause the plate com-
pactor to topple over. Always ascend slopes
carefully, in a direct path and in reverse to
prevent the plate compactor from toppling
over onto the operator. Always park the unit
on a firm and level surface and shut the tool
off. To reduce exposure to vibration, limit the
hours of operation and take periodic breaks
to minimize repetition and rest your hand.
Reduce the speed and force in which you
do the repetitive movement.
