Scheppach HP3000S Original Bedienungsanleitung Seite 31

Look for signs of damage.
Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all
nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened.
Checking the engine oil (fig. E)
• Take the oil dipstick (19) and clean.
• Insert the oil dipstick (19) in and check the oil lever
without screwing down.
• If the oil is too low, add the recommenced oil in.
• After finishing, reassemble and screw the oil dipstick
(19) down.
Check fuel
First stop the engine, open the fuel cover, and check
oil level. If the oil level is too low, add the fuel to full,
after finishing, screw the fuel cover down. Don't add the
fuel over the shoulder of the carburettor when fuelling
(maximum oil level).
Recommended octane rating over 90 unleaded gaso-
line For unleaded gasoline, can make carbon deposit
muck less and enhance exhaust system service life.
Don't use used and contaminated or gasoline with oil.
Avoid the dirt and water entering into fuel tank.
Starting engine (fig. I)
• Move the fuel valve lever (24) to the ON position
To start a cold engine, move the choke (12) to the
CLOSE position .
• To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever (12)
in the OPEN position
• Move the throttle lever (2) away from the SLOW posi-
tion, about 1/3 of the way toward the FAST position.
• Place the shift stick (1) in the neutral position.
• Turn the engine switch (21) to the ON position.
• Operate the recoil starter (17).
Recoil starter (17)
Pull the starter grip (16) lightly until you feel resistance,
then pull briskly, return the starter grip (16) gently. If the
choke lever (12) has been moved to the CLOSE posi-
tion to start the engine, gradually move it to the OPEN
position as the engine warms up. After engine warms
up, pull throttle lever (2) to accelerate engine speed
and place the shift stick (1) at the desired position.
Plate will begin vibrating and proceed with compacting.

Forward and reverse motion (fig. F)
The direction of travel is determined with the operat-
ing control shifter (1). Depending on the position of the
control shifter, the plate compacts in forward direction
or in reverse direction.
1. To make the compactor move in the forward direc-
tion, push the shift stick (1) forward.
2. To make the compactor move in the reverse direc-
tion, pull the shift stick (1) backwards.
m Do not operate plate on concrete or on extreme-
ly 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 moisture
content of soil. Maximum soil compaction has been
reached when excessive kickback is noticed.
When traveling backwards, the operator has to guide
the vibration plate laterally by its guide handle so that
you will not be squeezed between the handle and a
possible obstacle. Special care is required when work-
ing on uneven ground or when compacting coarse ma-
terial. Make sure of a firm stand when operating the
machine under such conditions. In operation, guide the
machine, but let the compactor do the work. Bearing
down on the handle is unnecessary and causes shock
absorber wear. On level surface, the compactor moves
forward rapidly.
On uneven surfaces or inclines, light forward pressure
on handle may be required to assist the compactor in
moving forward.
When using plate on paving stones, attach a 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 com-
pacting.
If soil is so dry as to create dust clouds while operating
plate, some moisture should be added to the ground
material to improve compacting. This will also reduce
service to the air filter.
