Multiquip MVC-82VHW manual Operation, Stopping the Engine

Page 19

OPERATION

6.If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 11) to the CLOSED position. If the engine has not started, repeat steps 1 through 5.

7.Before the compactor is put into operation, run the engine for 3-5 minutes.

8.Check for abnormal engine noises or fuel leaks.

OPERATION

CAUTION — Follow Safety Rules

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 centrifugal clutch.

ALWAYS move the throttle lever quickly without hesitation, because 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 any large objects or foreign matter that might cause damage to the compactor or bodily injury.

5.Compactor traveling speed may drop on soils which contain 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:

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

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

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

STOPPING THE ENGINE

CAUTION — Stopping the Engine

NEVER stop the engine suddenly while working at high speeds.

Normal Shutdown

1.Place the throttle lever (Figure 12) in slow position, and listen for the engine speed to decrease.

2.Place the Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 10) in the "OFF" position.

3.Place the fuel valve lever (Figure 9) in the "OFF" position.

Emergency Shutdown

1.Move the throttle lever quickly to the slow position, and place the Engine ON/OFF switch in the "OFF " position.
