Maintenance - Scheppach HP2500S Original Bedienungsanleitung

4. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug
and put 60 ml of SAE-30 of high quality engine oil
into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to dis-
tribute the oil. Replace the spark plug.
m Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil
from the cylinder before attempting to start the
unit after storage.
5. Let any fuel present drain out of the float chamber
(see "Cleaning the float chamber").
6. Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the
compactor and to keep the air vents free of ob-
structions.
m Do not use strong detergents or petroleum
based cleaners when cleaning plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage plastics.
7. Secure the handle with the lock pin as shown.
8. Store your plate compactor in upright position in a
clean, dry building that has good ventilation.
m Do not store compactor with fuel in a non-ven-
tilated area where fuel fumes may reach flame,
sparks, pilot lights or any ignition sources. Use
only approved fuel containers.
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and
frost-proof place that is inaccessible to children.
The optimum storage temperature is between 5 and
30˚C.
Store the tool in its original packaging.
Cover the tool in order to protect it from dust and mois-
ture.
Store the operating manual with the tool.

13. Maintenance

m ATTENTION!
Always shut the engine down and remove the spark
plug connector before carrying out any maintenance
work.
Maintaining your compactor will insure long life to the
machine and its components.
Preventive Maintenance Turn off engine. Engine must
be cool. Keep the engine's throttle lever in its SLOW
position, and remove spark plug wire from spark plug
and secure. Inspect the general condition of the plate
compactor. Check for loose screws, misalignment or
binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and
any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
Remove all debris from the plate compactor with a soft
brush, vacuum, or compressed air. Then use a premi-
um quality lightweight machine oil to lubricate all mov-
ing parts. 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. Replace spark plug wire.
m 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 wash-
ers will result in shortened life and reduce service-
ability.
Checking and replacing V-belt (fig. H + J)
To ensure optimum power transmission from the en-
gine to the eccentric shaft, the V-belt must be in good
condition.
1. Turn off engine.
2. Engine must be cool.
3. Remove the belt guard (i) to access the V-belt.
Check the condition of the V-belt. If any V-belt is
cracked, frayed, or glazed, it should be replaced
as soon as convenient.
4. Loosen the 4 lock nuts (M12) at the rubber buffers
Replacing V-belt
Slip the old V-belt off of the wheel pulley and install
the new V-belt in its place. Position the V-belt over the
engine pulley and tension pulley.
5. Drive belt (a) tensioning when the belt more than
10-15 mm yields (press with thumb)
6. Turn all 4 eccentrics (x) upwards to tension the belt
and downwards to solve it
7. Attach the belt guard again.
m When removing or installing the drive belt, be
careful not to get your fingers caught between the
belt and pulley.
Exciter oil change (fig. K)
The exciter housing is pre-serviced using Automat-
ic Transmission Fluid SAE 10W 30 or its equivalent.
Change fluid after 200 hours of operation.
1. Let exciter cool before changing exciter oil.
2. Tilt the plate toward a drain pan to aid in the remov-
al of all used oil and particles.
3. Remove oil drain plug to drain oil from the exciter
assembly. Examine oil for metal chip as a precau-
tion to future problems.
