10. Cleaning

m ATTENTION!
Always shut the engine down and remove the spark
plug connector before carrying out any cleaning work.
We recommend that you clean the device directly af-
ter every use.
Remove all debris from the plate compactor with a
soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air.
Clean the bottom of the compactor base as soon as it
begins to pick up soil being compacted. The unit can
not do a good job if the bottom surface is not smooth
and clean.
Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents; they could attack the plastic
parts of the device. Make sure that no water can pen-
etrate the device interior.
m ATTENTION!
Never use a "pressure washer" to clean your plate
compactor. Water can penetrate tight areas of the unit
and cause damage to spindles, pulleys, bearings, or
the engine. The use of pressure washers will result in
shortened life and reduce serviceability.

11. Transport

See technical data for the weight of the machine. To
avoid burns or fire hazards, let engine cool before lift-
ing/transporting machine or storing indoors.
When changing the machine position, it can be
equipped with the enclosed wheel kit (f) (see assem-
bling the wheel kit).
Loading the machine:
Lift unit by lift hook (3) on roll cage. Use a reliable
chain, cable or strap of adequate lifting capacity. The
unit must be transported in the upright position to pre-
vent fuel from spilling. Do not lay machine on its side
or top.
