close fuel tap tightly during transportation. Drain petrol or diesel from fuel tank before
transporting over a long distance or on rough roads.

Stop engine without fail before replenishing fuel tank. Never replenish fuel while the

engine is running or remains hot otherwise spilled or evaporated fuel is liable to catch
fire from the engine spark or muffler heat. Wipe off spilled fuel before starting engine.

plugs, safety goggles and any other protective items required by job conditions.

PRE START-UP CHECKING

• Consult engine manual for detailed starting information.

• Check all bolts and screws for tightness. Loose bolts and screws may cause damage to

the unit.

• Make sure that all dirt, mud, etc., are thoroughly removed from areas such as cooling air

inlet of engine, carburettor, and air cleaner.

• Check V-belt tightness. The normal slack should be approximately 10-15mm (1/2”) when

the belts are forcibly depressed in the middle position between two pulleys. To set belt
tightness; refer to Belt Setting at page 3.

• Check fuel level and refill as required.

• Check engine oil level. If engine oil level is low, refill it with the correct engine oil as

stated in the engine manual.

CAUTION! – Make sure nobody is in the vicinity of the compactor when starting the engine;
it might move suddenly with force.

STARTING (PETROL UNITS)

STEP 1 – Open engine fuel cock.
STEP 2 – Set throttle lever to starting position.
STEP 3 – For cold engine starting, close carburettor choke lever.
STEP 4 – Set engine switch to “ON”.
STEP 5 – Pull recoil starter.

IMPORTANT: Do not pull recoil starter rope to the end as it may cause damage. When the

rope is pulled out, release the rope slowly. Do not let the rope snap back.

STEP 6 – After engine starts, open the choke halfway and warm up the engine for 2-3

minutes with low speed position. The warm up procedure should particularly be
followed during cold weather.

STARTING (DIESEL UNITS)

STEP 1 – Set speed control to low speed.
STEP 2 – Pull recoil starter rope until resistance is felt.
STEP 3 – Bracing foot against engine, pull recoil starter rope with both hands.

IMPORTANT: Do not pull recoil starter rope to the end as it may cause damage. When the

rope is pulled out, release the rope slowly. Do not let the rope snap back.

HINTS OF OPERATION

During uphill compaction, it may be necessary to swing the handle over and pull the

machine slightly.

When compacting on a sloping terrain, the machine may tend to slide sideways. The

operator must steer toward the rise causing the machine to travel at an angle.

When operating the machine in wet or damp soil, it may occasionally be required to

clean the bottom of the base plate. Mud accumulation on the base plate will slow the
machine down and prevent efficient soil compaction.

When operating this compactor on asphalt surface, it is recommended that light oil or

kerosene be applied to the bottom of the base plate to prevent asphalt sticking and/or
accumulation.

Operating the machine on a fully compacted, hard, or non-yielding surface will cause it

to bounce and damage exciter bearings, and will greatly reduce the life of the
machine. Reduce engine speed to eliminate bounce.

When transporting the unit ensure the fuel tap is turned “OFF” to prevent flooding.
