CAUTION - General Safety Precautions

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

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

Before Starting:

1.Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual.

2.Remove dirt and dust, particularly in the engine cooling air inlet, carburetor and air cleaner.

3.Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If air filter is dirty, clean the air filter using compressed air, or replace the air filter with a new one as necessary.

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

5.Check fastening nuts and bolts for tightness.

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.

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

4.If the oil level is low (Figure 6), fill to the edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil type (Table 4).Maximum oil capacity is 400 cc.

Fuel Check

1.Remove the cap located on top of fuel tank.

2.Visually inspect to see if fuel level is low. If fuel is low, replenish with unleaded fuel.

3.When refueling, be sure to use a strainer for filtration. DO NOT top-off fuel.Wipe up any spilled fuel.

WARNING - Explosive Fuel

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and its vapors can cause an explosion if ignited. DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible fluids. DO NOT smoke while refueling.DO NOT attempt to refuel the pump if the engine is hot! or running.
