Figure 1. Compactor Controls

Figures 1 and 2 show the location of the controls, indicators and general maintenance parts. The function of each control is described below:

1.Breather Cap – Remove this cap to bleed (remove air) the hydraulic system. When replacing hydraulic oil, use "Shell Tellus #46 or equivalent".

2.Hand Grip – When operating the compactor use this hand grip to maneuver the compactor.

3.Handle Lock – Pull handle bar downward (working position), then pull handle lock to lock handle bar in place.

4.Vibration Case Oil Level Check Plug – Remove this plug to check the vibration case oil. Oil level should be all the way up to the filler port. When replacing vibration case oil, use 10W-30 engine oil.

5.Handle Bar (working position) – When operating the compactor, this handle is to be in the downward position.

6.Handle Bar (stored position) – When the compactor is to be stored, move the handle bar to the upright position.

7.Gasoline Engine – This plate compactor uses a HONDA GX160 engine. Refer to the HONDA owner's manual for engine information.

8.Belt Cover Remove this cover to gain access to theV-belts.NEVER run the compactor without theV-belt cover.If the V- belt cover is not installed, your hand may get caught between theV-belt and clutch, thus causing serious injury and bodily harm.

9.Vibration Case – Encloses the eccentric gears and counter weights.

10.Forward & Reverse Lever – Push the lever forward, the compactor will move in a forward direction. Pull the lever backwards, the compactor will move in backwards direction. Placing the lever in the middle (midway) will cause the compactor not to move (neutral).

11.Throttle Control – Move the throttle lever to the rabbit position for full throttle (max RPMs). For engine idle, move the throttle lever to the turtle position.
