Stopping Engine; Cleaning; Transport; Storage - Scheppach HP3000S Original Bedienungsanleitung

The following points are to be observed when compact-
ing on sloped surfaces (slopes, embankments):
1. Only approach gradients from the bottom (a gra-
dient which can be easily overcome upwards can
also be compacted downwards without any risk).
2. The operator must never stand in the direction of
descent.
3. The max. gradient of 20° must not be exceeded
m If this gradient were exceeded, this would result
in a failure of the engine lubrication system (splash
lubrication 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 (21) to the OFF position. Under normal
conditions, use the following procedure.
1. To stop the compactor from traveling, return the
engine throttle lever (2) to idle position
2. Allow engine to cool down for one or two minutes
before stopping.
3. Turn the engine switch (21) to ''OFF" position.
4. Turn off the fuel valve (24) where applicable.
m Do not move choke control (12) to CLOSE to stop
engine. Backfire or engine damage may occur.
Idle speed
Set throttle control lever to its SLOW
reduce stress on the engine when compacting 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.

10. 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 after
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.

11. Transport

See technical data for the weight of the machine. To
avoid burns or fire hazards, let engine cool before lift-
ing/transporting machine or storing indoors.
. When changing the machine position, it can be

1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel contain-
ing ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30

days. Stale fuel has high gum content and can clog
the carburetor and restrict fuel flow.

2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops.
This ensures no fuel is left in the carburetor. Run
the engine until it stops. This helps prevent depos-
its from forming inside the carburetor and possible
engine damage.
3. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the
engine. Refill with fresh oil.
