MVH-402DSB—OPERATION
1.Grasp the compactor's hand grip (Figure 13), and move the engine throttle lever (Figure 13) 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 cen- trifugal clutch.
Figure 13. Throttle Lever ((Fast)
ALWAYS move the throttle lever
NOTE quickly without hesitation, because increasing the engine speed slowly causes the clutch to slip.
3.To make the compactor move in the forward direction push the travel lever ( Figure 14) forward.
