1. Exciter Lubrication

Operation

DO NOT OPERATE ON CONCRETE OR EXTREMELY

COMPACTED SURFACES WHICH CAUSE THE

COMPACTOR TO JUMP RATHER THAN VIBRATE

CAUSING POTENTIAL DAMAGE

TO THE PLATE OR ENGINE.

1. Start the engine.

2. Move the throttle control to fast.

3. The plate compactor will vibrate and move forwards.

4. Set the throttle to the slow or idle position when not compacting

to reduce equipment stress and preserve machine life.

5. To turn the plate compactor off, move the throttle lever to the

slow position, allowing the engine to idle for a few seconds and

then switch the engine to off.

Running the engine at lower speeds results in decreased

compaction, wear to the machine and operator fatigue.

Compacting Tips

The key to successful compacting is to allow the machine to do the

work. The operator should guide the machine, but not bear down

on the handlebar or use unnecessary force.

• Compacting will vary with ground conditions, material being

compacted and slope of surface.

• On uneven surfaces it may be necessary to apply light forward

pressure on the handlebars in order to help propel the machine

forward.

• Hold on firmly to the handlebars to control sudden lurches.

• Attach the plate pad when compacting paving stones or similar

material to avoid chipping or grinding of the surface.

• Soil conditions may be damp, but allow wet soil to dry out before

compacting. If soil is excessively dry, raising dust clouds when

compacting, sprinkle surface with water before compacting.

• A number of passes may be necessary to reach the desired

compaction level. Maximum compaction will be reached when the

machine constantly kicks back.

Do not stop the machine by moving the choke, which can cause

engine backfire or damage.
