operation

4.To make the compactor move in the reverse direction pull the travel lever ( Figure 17) backwards.

5.Firmly gasp the compactor's hand grip, the compactor will begin moving in the desired position when the direction lever has been placed in the desired position.

6.Slowly walk behind the compactor and be on the lookout for any large objects or foreign matter that might cause damage to the compactor or bodily injury.

7.If travel lever is placed in the neutral position, the machine will vibrate in place.

8.To move the compactor laterally, hold the hand grip firmly and swing compactor. DO NOT swing compactor while gripping the travel lever.

Normal Shutdown

1.Return the throttle lever to the START position (Figure 13). Allow the machine to cool down for 2 to 3 minutes.

2.Place the travel lever in the NEUTRAL position (Figure 18).

3.Place the throttle lever in the STOP position (Figure 18) to stop the engine.
