Operation

CAUTION - General Operation Safety

Make sure to follow all safety rules referenced in the safety section of this manual before operating compactor. Keep work area clear of debris and other objects that could cause damage to the compactor or bodily injury.

1.Once the engine has started, move the engine throttle lever quickly to the fast position.

2.With the throttle lever in the fast position, the engine speed should be around 2,300 RPM, therefore engaging the cen- trifugalclutch.

Always move the throttle lever quickly without hesitation, because

NOTE increasing the engine speed slowly causes the clutch to slip.

3.Firmly grasp the compactor's handle bar with both hands. The compactor will begin moving forward.

4.Slowly walk behind the compactor and be on the lookout for anylargeobjectsorforeignmatterthatmightcausedamage to the compactor or bodily injury.

5.Compactortravelingspeedmaydroponsoilswhichcontain clay, however there may be cases where traveling speed drops because the compaction plate does not leave the ground surface easily due to the composition of the soil.To rectify this problem, do the following:

zCheck the bottom plate to see if clay or equivalent material has been lodged in the plate mechanism. If so, wash with water and remove.

zRemember the compactor does not work as efficiently on clay or soils that have a high moisture content level.

zIf the soil has a high moisture level, dry soil to appropriate moisture content level or carry out compaction twice.
