Changing Vibrator Oil

1.When changing the vibrator oil, remove the oil plug located at the bottom of the vibrator (Figure 19),

2.Tip the compactor to drain the oil.

Air Filter

1.The air filter element should be cleaned because a clogged air cleaner can cause poor engine starting, lack of power and shorten engine life substantially.

2.To clean or replace air filter loosen the wing nut on the air filter housing (Figure 20), remove the cover and take out air filter cartridge.

If only cleaning of the air filter is desired blow through the air filter cartridge from the inside, moving a jet of dry compressed air up and down until all dust is removed.
