Before Starting

1.Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual.

2.Cleanthecompactor,removingdirtanddust.Particularly,the bottom of the plate, engine cooling air inlet, carburetor and air cleaner.

3.Checktheairfilterfordirtanddust.Iftheairfilterisdirty,blow through the air filter cartridge from the inside, moving a jet of dry compressed air up and down until all dust is removed. Otherwise replace air filter with a new one.

4.Check carburetor for external dirt and dust. Clean with dry compressedair.

5.Check fastening nuts and bolts for tightness. Loosened screws or bolts due to vibration, could lead to unexpected accident.

Engine Oil Check

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

2.Remove the filler cap/dipstick from the engine oil filler hole (Figure 5) and wipe it clean.
