Cleaning; Transport (Fig. N) - Scheppach HP1100S Original Bedienungsanleitung

• Pull starter wire rope pull (e) vigorously
• Motor running, slowly open choke (a)
• Move gas lever (c) to working position
• Vibratory plate starts to work
Forward motion
The plate compactor moves forwards automatically
when the throttle is opened fully.
m ATTENTION!
Do not operate plate on concrete or on extremely
hard, dry, compacted surfaces. The plate will jump
rather than vibrate and could damage both plate and
engine.
The number of passes required to reach a desired
compaction level will depend on the type and mois-
ture content of soil. Maximum soil compaction has
been reached when excessive kickback is noticed.
When using plate on paving stones, attach a rubber
pad to the bottom of the plate to prevent chipping or
grinding surface of the stones.
While a certain amount of moisture in the soil is nec-
essary, excessive moisture may cause soil particles
to stick together and prevent good compaction. If
soil is extremely wet, allow it to dry somewhat before
compacting.
If soil is so dry as to create dust clouds while oper-
ating plate, some moisture should be added to the
ground material to improve compacting. This will also
reduce service to the air filter.
The following points are to be observed when com-
pacting on sloped surfaces (slopes, embankments):
Only approach gradients from the bottom (a gradient
which can be easily overcome upwards can also be
compacted downwards without any risk).
The operator must never stand in the direction of de-
scent. The max. gradient of 20° must not be exceed-
ed.
m ATTENTION!
If this gradient were exceeded, this would result in
a failure of the engine lubrication system (splash lu-
brication and thus inevitably lead to a breakdown of
important engine components.
Stopping engine
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the
engine switch (d) to the OFF position. Under normal
conditions, use the following procedure.
• To stop the compactor from traveling, return the en-
gine throttle lever (10) to idle
• Allow engine to cool down for one or two minutes
before stopping.
• Turn the engine switch (d) to ''OFF" position.

m ATTENTION!
Do not move choke control (a) to CLOSE
to stop engine. Backfire or engine damage may oc-
cur.
Idle speed
Set throttle control lever (10) to its SLOW
position to reduce stress on the engine when com-
pacting is not being performed.
Lowering the engine speed to idle the engine will help
extend the life of the engine, as well as conserve fuel
and reduce the noise level of the machine.

11. 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 penetrate 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.

12. Transport (fig. N)

See technical data for the weight of the machine. To
avoid burns or fire hazards, let engine cool before
lifting/transporting machine or storing indoors. For
transport purposes, the upper handle frame is folded
in, the trolley section is released from the hooks on
the lower handle frame and swung under the machine
by lifting it. The plate vibrator can now be moved.
m Machine may fall and cause damage or injury
if lifted incorrectly.
