influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication that
could affect your ability to use it properly.
Dress sensibly. Wear heavy trousers, boots and
gloves. Do not wear loose clothing, short pants,
jewellery of any kind. Secure long hair so it is above
shoulder level. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Check your machine before starting it. Keep guards
in place and in working order. Make sure all nuts,
bolts, etc. are securely tightened.
Never operate the machine when it is in need of
repair or is in poor mechanical condition. Replace
damaged, missing or failed parts before using it.
Check for fuel leaks. Keep the machine in safe
working condition.
Do not use the machine if the engine’s switch does
not turn it on or off. Any petrol powered machine
that cannot be controlled with the engine switch
is dangerous and must be replaced.
Before every use check to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the
machine area before starting it. A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of the
machine may result in personal injury.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and their
proper operation. Know how to stop the machine
and disengage the controls quickly.
Make sure to read and understand all the
instructions and safety precautions as outlined in
the Engine Manual, packed separately with your
unit. Do not attempt to operate the machine until
you fully understand how to properly operate and
maintain the Engine and how to avoid accidental
injuries and/or property damage.

monoxide, an odourless and deadly gas. Operate this
unit only in a well ventilated outdoor area.
2
Vibratory Plate Compactor
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating the machine.
Do not overreach. Do not operate the machine
while barefoot or when wearing sandals or similar
lightweight footwear. Wear protective footwear
that will protect your feet and improve your footing
on slippery surfaces. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the machine in unexpected situations.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the engine’s
switch is off before transporting the machine or
performing any maintenance or service on the
unit. Transporting or performing maintenance or
service on a machine with its switch on invites
accidents.
Fuel safety
Machine use and care
Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapours can explode
if ignited. Take precautions when using to reduce
the chance of serious personal injury.
Only refill or drain the fuel tank in a clean,
well-ventilated outdoor area. Use an approved
fuel storage container. Do not smoke, or allow
sparks, open flames or other sources of
ignition near the area while adding fuel or operating
the unit. Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools,
away from exposed, live electrical parts and
connections to avoid sparking or arcing, which
could ignite fumes or vapours.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the
fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running
or when the engine is hot. Do not operate the
machine with known leaks in the fuel system.
Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any
pressure in the tank.
Never overfill the fuel tank (there should be no
fuel above the upper limit mark).
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely
and wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit
without the fuel cap securely in place.
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely
and wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit
without the fuel cap securely in place.
Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel.
If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
but move the machine away from the area of
spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition
until fuel vapours have dissipated.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed and
approved for this purpose.
Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely
away from sparks, open flames or other sources
of ignition.
Never store fuel or a machine with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach a spark,
open flame, or any other source of ignition, such
as a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer or
similar. Allow the engine to cool before storing in
any enclosure.
Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine
is running.
Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine
for your application. The correct machine will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
Do not change the engine governor settings or
over-speed the engine. The governor controls the
maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
Do not run the engine at a high speed when you
are not working.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts.
Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes and
hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or muffler.
These parts get extremely hot during use.
They remain hot for a short time after you turn off
the unit. Allow the engine to cool before
performing maintenance or making adjustments.
If the machine starts to make an unusual noise
or vibration, immediately shut off the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire, and check for the
cause. An unusual noise or vibration is
generally a warning of an issue with the machine.
Use only attachments and accessories approved
by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result
in personal injury.
Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the machine’s
operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained equipment.
Keep the engine and muffler free of grass, leaves,
excessive grease or carbon build up to reduce the
chance of a fire hazard.
Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any
other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free from
debris. Clean after each use.
Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for
gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.
Don’t store the machine where children will be able
to access it. Don’t allow persons unfamiliar with
the machine or these instructions to operate it. The
machine is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Service
Before cleaning, repair, inspecting, or adjusting,
shut off the engine and make certain all moving
parts have stopped. Always make sure the engine’s
switch is in its “OFF” position. Disconnect the spark
plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug
to prevent accidental starting.
Have your machine serviced by qualified repair
personnel using only approved replacement parts.
This will ensure that the machine remains safe
to use.
Do not overload the machine capacity by
compacting too deep in a single pass or at too
fast a rate.
Never operate the unit at high transport speeds
on hard or slippery surfaces.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert
for hidden hazards or traffic. Do not carry
passengers.
Never leave the operating position while working
or leave the plate compactor unattended when
the engine is running.
Specific Safety Rules
To avoid injury, keep hands, fingers and feet away
from the base plate. Grip the handle of the plate
compactor firmly with both hands. If both hands
are holding the handle and your feet are clear of
the compactor base, your hands, fingers and feet
cannot be injured by the compactor base.
Always operate the machine from behind, never
pass or stand in front of the machine when the
engine is running.
Never place tools or any other items under the
plate compactor.
If the unit strikes a foreign object, stop the engine,
disconnect the spark plug, thoroughly inspect the
machine for any damage, and repair the damage
before restarting and operating the machine.
Always stop the engine when you stop
working or when walking from one location to
another.
Stay away from the edges of ditches and be
careful not to cause the plate compactor to
topple over.
Always ascend slopes carefully, in a direct path
and in reverse to present the plate compactor
from toppling over onto the operator.
Always park the unit on a firm and level surface
and shut the tool off.
To reduce exposure to vibration, limit the hours
of operation and take periodic breaks to minimize
repetition and rest your hands. Reduce the speed
and force in which you do the repetitive movement.
Try to vary the jobs you do each day so that you
are not frequently using hand-held power equipment.

Oil Drain Hose
Fuel Valve Control
The fuel valve opens and closes the passage
between the fuel tank and the carburettor. The fuel
valve lever must be in the ON position for the engine
to run. When the engine is not in use, leave the fuel
valve lever in the OFF position to prevent the carburettor
flooding and to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
Throttle Control
The throttle lever controls engine speed. Moving the
throttle lever makes the engine run faster or slower.
Engine Switch
The engine switch enables and disables the ignition
system. The engine switch must be in the ON
position for the engine to run. Turning the engine
switch to the OFF position stops the engine.
Choke Lever
The choke lever opens and closes the choke
valve in the carburettor. The closed position
enriches the fuel mixture for starting a cold engine.
8
Vibratory Plate Compactor
The open position provides the correct fuel mixture
for operation after starting, and for restarting a
warm engine. Some engine applications use a
remotely-mounted choke control rather than the
engine-mounted choke lever.
More detailed description of the engine operation and
all related precautions and procedures can be found
in the Engine Manual packed separately with the unit.
Starting the engine
Recoil Starter Grip
Pulling the starter grip operates the recoil starter
to crank the engine.
Oil Drain Hose

1. Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
2. To start a cold engine, move the choke to the
CLOSE position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever
in the OPEN position.
3. Move the throttle lever away from the SLOW
position, about 1/3 of the way toward the FAST
position.
4. Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
5. Operate the starter.
Recoil Starter
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance,
then pull briskly, return the starter grip gently.
If the choke lever has been moved to the CLOSE
position to start the engine, gradually move it to
the open position as the engine warms up.
Running the engine with dirty oil can cause
premature engine wear and failure. Changing oil
regularly is extremely important. The flexible oil
drain hose is equipped to drain oil into the
appropriate receptacle.
Exciter
An eccentric weight mounted on the exciter shaft
contained within the exciter housing is driven at
high speed by a clutch and belt drive system. This
high speed shaft revolution causes the rapid lifting
and downward ramming motion of the machine as
well as imparting a forward motion.
Compactor Operation
Adding fuel
Fill the fuel tank as instructed in the separate
Engine Manual packed with the Plate Compactor.
Operating
Do not operate the plate on concrete
or on extremely hard, dry, compacted
surfaces. The plate will jump rather
than vibrate and could damage both
the plate and engine.
1.
After the engine warms up, pull throttle lever
to accelerate the engine speed. The
plate will begin vibrating and move forward.
The plate compactor is designed to run at an
2.
engine speed (engine take off shaft) of 3600
rpm (normally considered full throttle). Running
the engine at lower rpms will result in a decrease
of compaction force and lower travel speed. It
will create excessive “out-of-synch” vibrations
resulting in poor compaction, maneuverability,
excessive wear to the machine, and discomfort
to the operator.
In operation, guide the machine, but let the
3.
compactor do the work. Bearing down on the
handle is unnecessary and causes shock
absorber wear.
Vibratory Plate Compactor
9
4.
On level surfaces the compactor moves forward
rapidly. On uneven surfaces or inclines, light
forward pressure on handle may be required to
assist the compactor in moving forward.
5.
The number of passes required to reach a
desired compaction level will depend on the
type and moisture content of soil. Maximum soil
compaction has been reached when excessive
kickback is noticed.
Idle speed
Set the throttle control lever to its “low” position
to reduce stress on the engine when compacting
is not being performed. Lowering the engine
speed to idle the engine will help extend the life
of the engine, as well as conserve fuel and
reduce the noise level of the machine.
When using a compactor on asphalt,
a Water Sprinkler Kit is required to help
pre v ent t h e bot t om pla te fro m
adhering to the hot asphalt surface.
When using the plate on paving
stones, attach a pad to the bottom of
the plate to prevent chipping or grinding
the surface of the stones. A special
urethane pad designed for this purpose
is available as an optional accessory.
While a certain amount of moisture in
the so il i s ne cessa ry, e xcess ive
moisture may cause soil particles to
stick together and prevent good
compaction. If soil is extremely wet,
allow it to dry somewhat before
compacting.
If soil is so dry as to create dust clouds
while operating the plate, some moisture
sh ould be a dded to t he grou nd
material to improve compacting. This
will also reduce service to the air filter.
Stopping the engine
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining your compactor will ensure long life to
the machine and its components.
Preventive Maintenance
1. Turn off the engine. The engine must be cool.
2. Keep the engine’s throttle lever in its SLOW
position, and remove the spark plug wire from the
spark plug and secure.
3. Inspect the general condition of the plate
compactor. Check for loose screws, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken
parts, and any other condition that may affect
its safe operation.
4. Remove all debris from the plate compactor
with a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air.
Then use a premium quality lightweight machine
oil to lubricate all moving parts.
5. Clean the bottom of the compactor base as
soon as it begins to pick up soil being
compacted. The unit cannot do a good job if
the bottom surface is not smooth and clean.
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn
the engine switch to the OFF position. Under
normal conditions, use the following procedure.
1. Move the throttle lever to the SLOW position.
2. Let engine idle for one or two minutes.
3. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
4. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
Do not move the choke control to
CLOSE to stop the engine. Backfire
or engine damage may occur.
10
6. Replace the spark plug wire.
Never use a “pressure washer” to clean
your plate compactor. Water can penetrate
tight areas of the unit and cause damage
to spindles, pulleys, bearings, or the engine.
The use of pressure washers will result in
shortened life and reduce serviceability.
Checking V-Belt(s)
To ensure optimum power transmission from the
engine to the eccentric shaft, the V-belt(s) must
be in good condition and operate under proper
tension.
Vibratory Plate Compactor
Turn off the engine. The engine must be cool.
1.
2.
Remove the belt guard to access the V-belt(s).
3.
Check the condition of the V-belt(s). If any Vbelt is cracked, frayed, or glazed, it should be
replaced as soon as possible.
Check the V-belt tension by squeezing them in
4.
the centre. The normal deflection on each side
should be 9mm (3/8”) to 13mm (1/2”) with
moderate pressure from your thumb or finger.
On new machines or after installing a
new belt, check the belt tension after
the first 20 hours of operation. Check and
adjust the belt every 50 hours thereafter.
Tensioning V-Belt(s)
Proper belt tension is critical to good performance.
Proper adjustment will ensure long belt life. Too
much or too little belt tension will cause premature
belt failure.

in excessive temperatures in the exciter.
STORAGE
If the plate compactor will not be used for a period
longer than 30 days, follow the steps below to
prepare your unit for storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel
containing ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale
in 30 days. Stale fuel has a high gum content and
can clog the carburettor and restrict fuel flow.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops.
This ensures no fuel is left in the carburettor. Run
the engine until it stops. This helps prevent
deposits from forming inside the carburettor and
possible engine damage.
3. While the engine is still warm, but not hot, drain
the oil from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of
the grade recommended in the Engine Manual.
4. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug
and put 60 ml of SAE-30 high quality motor oil
into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to
distribute the oil. Replace the spark plug.
6. Carefully fold the upper handle down. Do not
allow control cables to become pinched or bent.
7. Store your plate compactor in an upright position
in a clean, dry building that has good ventilation.
Do not store the compactor with fuel in
a non-ventilated area where fuel fumes
may reach a flame, sparks, pilot lights
or any ignition sources.
Use only approved fuel containers.
LIFTING / TRANSPORTING
The 29140 model is 53kg, the 29142 model is 63kg.
To avoid burns or fire hazards, let the engine
cool before lifting or transporting the machine or
storing indoors.
Remove the spark plug and drain all of
the oil from the cylinder before
attempting to start the unit after storage.
5. Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the
compactor and to keep the air vents free of
obstructions.
Do not use strong detergents or
petroleum based cleaners when
cleaning plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage plastics.
