Page 16

INSPECTION

CAUTION

NEVER operate the compactor in a confined area or enclosed area structure that does not provide ample free flow of air.

4.If the oil level is low (Figure 7), fill to the edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil type (Table 4).Maximum oil capacity is 1.16 quarts (1.10 liters).

CAUTION

ALWAYS wear approved eye and hearing protection before operating the compactor.

Before Starting

1.Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual.

2.Familiarize yourself with the operating and control elements of the machine

and the working environment. This includes obstacles in the working area, bearing capacity of the ground and the necessary safety provisions.

3.Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If air filter is dirty, replace air filter with a new one as required.

4.Check fastening nuts and bolts for tightness. Loose threads may cause damage to the machine when vibrating.

5. Understand the geographical features and regulations of the job site.

6.Clean the compactor, removing dirt and dust. Particularly, the bottom of the plate, engine cooling air inlet.

Checking Engine Oil Level

1.To check the engine oil level, place the compactor on secure level ground with the engine stopped.

2.Remove the dipstick from the engine oil filler hole (Figure 6) and wipe it clean.

3.Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the filler neck. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.

Checking the Hydraulic Oil Level

1.To check the engine oil level, place the compactor on secure level ground with the engine stopped.

2.Remove the hydraulic oil breather cap located at the top of the hydraulic oil tank (Figure 8).

3.Using a 24 mm wrench, remove the hydraulic oil filler plug.

3.Visually inspect to determine if hydraulic oil level is low. If oil level is low add Shell Tellus 46 hydraulic oil or equivalent through the hand pump oil filler port.
