ADDING FUEL
Fill the fuel tank as instructed in the separate Engine Manual packed with the plate compactor. A
more detailed description of the engine operation and all related precautions and procedures can
be found in the Engine Manual packed separately with the unit.
STARTING ENGINE
1. Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position
2. Move the throttle lever away from the SLOW position, about 1/3 of the way toward the
FAST position.
3. Place the shift stick in the neutral position.
4. Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch and turn it to the ON position to start the
engine.
After engine warms up, pull throttle lever to accelerate engine speed and place the shift stick at
the desired position. Plate will begin vibrating and proceed with compacting.
FORWARD AND REVERSE MOTION
The direction of travel is determined with the operating control shifter. Depending on the position
of the control shifter, the plate compacts in forward direction, on the spot or in reverse direction.
4. To make the compactor move in the forward direction,
push the shift stick forward.
5. If shift stick is placed in the neutral position, the com-
pactor will vibrate on the spot.
6. To make the compactor move in the reverse direction,
pull the shift stick backwards.
