Ⅷ. CARE & PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Check the oil level in the motor crankcase daily. Check the vibrator oil level weekly. Inspect the rubber
anti vibration mounts for wear or deterioration. Clean the underside of the plate regularly to prevent a build
up of material.
Ⅸ. SERVICE
Change the oil in the motor crankcase regularly to minimize wear. Inspect, clean and / or replace the
motor air cleaner regularly, particularly when operating in a dusty environment. Inspect, clean and / or
replace the spark plug regularly Check all fasteners for tightness as the machine is subject to vibration.
Check V belt tension, wear and that it is running true. Adjust or replace as required.
Vibrator oil check
1. Place the plate compactor horizontally on a flat surface.
Make sure the compactor is level when checking the
oil in the vibrator assembly.
2. Check vibrator oil level by removing the plug (vibrator
oil gauge) as shown in Fig-17.
The oil level should be up to the oil plug. If oil is
required, replace using SAE motor oil, as suggested in
the table Fig-1.
3. When changing the vibrator oil, remove the drain plug
(Fig-17), and simply tip the compactor to drain the oil.
Note that the oil will drain more easily while it is hot.
Ⅹ. TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM
Motor will not start
Motor stops
Petrol Motor lacks power.
Insufficient vibration
Machine is not moving freely
BEARINGS
The following bearings are sealed:
Centrifugal Clutch - grease lubricated
Vibrator - oil bath lubricated
FINISH
The machine is finished in gold equipment enamel, the handle in black backed enamel. Exposed metal
surface is zinc electroplated for corrosion protection.
POSSIBLE CAUSES AND CORRECTION
-Check the ON/OFF switch to ensure that it is switched 'ON'.
-Check the fuel supply.
-If a Honda or Kama motor is fitted check the crankcase oil level as and oil sensor
device is fitted to these motors which prevents starting and stops the motor when the oil
level is low.
-Ensure the carburetor jet and bowl to ensure they are than.
-Check the fuel supply.
-Check the condition of the air filter
-Check for a slipping or a missing see belt.
-Check the underside of the plate for a build up of material.
