GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES
For any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual or on the
product, please call (888) 315-3080 M-F 8-5 CST before using the plate compactor.
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE. Using an plate compactor indoors
CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Plate compactor exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you
cannot see or smell. If you can smell the plate compactor exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing
CO.
NEVER use an plate compactor inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly
enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using
a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.
ONLY use a plate compactor outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents.
These openings can pull in plate compactor exhaust.
Even if you use a plate compactor correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a
battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the plate compactor has been running, move to
fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING: The exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: This plate compactor may emit highly
flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can
cause severe burns or even death, if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to
explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
Do not operate near open flame.
Do not smoke near plate compactor.
Always operate on a firm, level surface.
Always turn engine off before refueling. Allow engine to cool for at least 2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the
top of the tank. Allow for expansion.
Always check for spilled fuel before operating.
Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the plate compactor.
Before transporting, turn fuel valve to off and disconnect spark plug wire.
Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate.

WARNING: This plate compactor produces heat when running.
Temperatures near exhaust can exceed 150º F (65º C).
Do not touch hot surfaces. Pay attention to warning labels on the plate compactor
identifying hot parts of the machine.
Allow engine to cool down after use before touching engine or areas of the engine that
become hot during use.
CAUTION: Misuse of this plate compactor can damage it or shorten its life.
Use plate compactor only for its intended purposes.
Allow plate compactor to run for several minutes before connecting electrical devices.
Shut off and disconnect any malfunctioning devices from plate compactor.
Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the plate compactor by plugging in more electrical
devices than the unit can handle.
Do not turn on electrical devices until after they are connected to the plate compactor.
Turn off all connected electrical devices before stopping the plate compactor.
Turn engine switch to “off” position when the engine is not running.
Do not operate the Plate Compactor in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which can ignite flammable materials.
Keep bystanders and children at least six feet away while operating the Plate Compactor.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as
chips and sparks. Provide barriers and shields as needed. Never allow children operate or play on
or near the Plate Compactor.
The Plate Compactor should only be used in outdoor areas. Carbon monoxide fumes (from the
gasoline engine) are a colorless, odorless gas that, if inhaled, can cause serious illness or death. If
the Plate Compactor is used in enclosed spaces, the area must be well-ventilated and Engine
exhaust fumes must be piped out of the enclosed space using leak-free, heat-resistant piping. The
pipes should not use any flammable materials, nor should they be installed near the same. Engine
exhaust fumes must be within legal limits.
Before performing compacting work near buildings or above pipelines, check the effect of the
vibrations on the buildings and pipelines. If necessary, immediately stop the compacting work.
