Page 11: Before Each Use
Before Each Use Engine Recommended Fuel The compactor engine requires fresh, clean, regular, unleaded gasoline. Fuel containing wa- ter or dirt will damage the fuel system. Consult to engine owner’s manual for complete fuel specifications DANGER: Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to cool down to avoid a risk of an explosion or fire from a fuel spill. -
Page 12: Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions Operation Principle Vibrating for ground compacting is accomplished occurred by a vibrator (A) that is installed on the bottom plate (B) for tamping. There are two shafts in the vibrator for forward and reverse. One shaft has two centrifugal vibrators. One of these two shafts receives hydraulic force and changes the angle of the centrifugal vibrator. -
Page 13: Engine Speeds And Machine Performance
Engine Speeds and Machine Performance The engine speed influences to the centrifugal force produced by the vibrator and therefore the vibra- tion produced. A fast engine speed results in a strong centrifugal force. A slow engine speed greatly reduces the centrifugal force. Operating on a Slope When compacting on a slope, it is easiest to operate the equipment from the top to the bottom of the slope. - Page 14 2) To drive the compactor forward, push the travel lever to the forward position (see below). 3) To drive the compactor backward, pull the lever to the reverse position. Do not move the travel lever with excessive force when engine is turn-off. The lever should move easil y when the engine is started and the compactor is operating normally.
