1.1 Laws Pertaining to Spark Arresters

Notice: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes

specify that in certain locations spark arresters be used on internal
combustion engines that use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a
device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames
from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified and rated by
the United States Forest Service for this purpose.

In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult
the engine distributor or the local Health and Safety Administrator.

VP 2050/W Safety Information

1.4 Service Safety

A poorly maintained machine can become a safety hazard! In order
for the machine to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.

WARNING

1.4.1 Do not attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.
Rotating parts can cause severe injury.

1.4.2 Do not crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on
gasoline-powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out
the spark plug opening.

1.4.3 Do not test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is
flooded or the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite
the fumes.

1.4.4 Do not use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to
clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and
solvents can become explosive.

1.4.5 Keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper,
cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.

1.4.6 Replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and
recommended by Wacker Neuson Corporation.

1.4.7 Disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline
engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.

1.4.8 Keep the machine clean and labels legible. Replace all missing and
hard-to-read labels. Labels provide important operating instructions
and warn of dangers and hazards.

3. Operation

3.1 Recommended Fuel

The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh,
clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage fuel
system. Consult engine owner’s manual for complete fuel
specifications.

3.2 Application

This plate is designed for compacting loose, granular soils, gravel, and
paving stones. It is intended to be used in confined areas and areas
next to structures such as walls, curbs, and foundations. Plates
equipped with water tanks can be used for compacting asphalt.

This plate is not recommended for compacting cohesive soils with a
heavy clay content. For cohesive soil, use a vibratory rammer or
sheepsfoot roller.

3.3 Before Starting

3.3.1 Read and understand the safety and operating instructions at the
beginning of this manual.

3.3.2 Check:

• Oil level in the engine

• Fuel level

• Condition of the air cleaner

• Tightness of the external fasteners

• Condition of the fuel lines

wpm_tx001101gb.fm 15

Operation VP 2050/W

3.4 To Start

See Graphic: wc_gr000655

3.4.1 Open fuel valve by moving lever down (a1).

Note: If engine is cold, move choke lever to close position (d2). If
engine is hot, set choke to open position (d1).

3.4.2 Turn engine switch to “ON” (b2).

3.4.3 Open throttle by moving it slightly to left (c2).

3.4.4 Pull starter rope (e).

Note: If the oil level in the engine is low, the engine will not start. If this
happens, add oil to engine.

wpm_tx001101gb.fm 16

VP 2050/W Operation

3.6 Operation

Run the engine at full throttle and allow the plate to pull itself along at
its normal speed. When operating on an incline it may be necessary to
assist the plate by pushing it forward slightly. When operating downhill
hold the plate back slightly, if it begins to pick up speed. Depending on
the material being compacted, three or four passes are recommended
to achieve the best compaction.

While a certain amount of moisture in the soil is necessary, excessive
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 plate, some
moisture should be added to the ground material to improve
compaction. This will also reduce service to the air filter.

For compacting asphalt, use a water tank to wet the asphalt and the
underside of plate. This will prevent asphalt material from sticking.
Two passes are usually sufficent to ensure good compaction.

When using the plate on paving stones, attach a pad to the bottom of
the plate to prevent chipping or grinding surface of stones. A special
polyurethane pad designed for this purpose is available as an optional
accessory.

NOTICE: 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 the engine.

NOTICE: NEVER run the engine without the air cleaner. Severe

engine damage will occur.

The engine is equipped with a dual-element air cleaner. Under normal
operating conditions, the elements should be cleaned once every
week. Under severe, dry and dusty conditions, the elements should be
maintained daily. Replace an element when it is saturated with dirt that
cannot be removed.

4.8 Exciter Lubrication

See Graphic: wpmgr006020

The bearings in the exciter assembly are splash lubricated and rotate
at very high speed. It is important to maintain the exciter oil at the
correct level and change it regularly.

Check oil level in exciter every 50 hours of operation.

To check oil level, place plate on a flat, level surface. Remove the drain
plug (a) with seal ring (b). Oil level should be at drain plug threads. Add
oil as required.

Change exciter oil every 300 hours of operation.

To drain oil: Remove plug (a) from end of exciter and tilt plate up.

Note: In the interests of environmental protection, place a plastic sheet

and a container under the machine to collect any liquid which drains
off. Dispose of this liquid in accordance with environmental protection
legislation.

Place plate on a level surface and add approximately 296 ml of oil
through plug opening until oil reaches the drain plug threads.

NOTICE: DO NOT overfill. Too much oil in exciter can reduce

performance and damage drive belt.

4.9 Cleaning the Plate

wpmgr006020

Clean plate after use to remove dirt, stones, and mud caught under the
engine console. If plate is being used in a dusty area, check engine
cylinder cooling fins for heavy dirt accumulation. Keep engine cylinder
fins clean to prevent engine from overheating.
