QUALITY ASSURANCE / MACHINE BREAK IN
BR3570
The Bartell Vibratory Plate Compactor is the product of extensive engineering development de-
signed to give long life and unmatched performance. The Compactors are shipped completely assem-
bled with the exception of attaching the handle, and only require lling with fuel and a brief check of
lubricant levels in preparation for operation. The exciter housing are pre-serviced with oil at factory.
You can help ensure that your Vibratory Plate Compactor will perform at top levels by observing
a simple routing on rst use. Consider that your new Compactor is like a new car. Just as you would
break in a new car to the road or any new machine to the job, you should start gradually and build up
to full use. Learn what your machine can do and how it will respond. Refer to the engine manufactur-
er’s manual for run-in times. Full throttle and control may be used after this time period, as allowed by
material. This will serve to further break in the machine on your specic application, as well as provide
you with additional practice using the machine.
We thank you for the condence you have placed in us by purchasing a Bartell Vibratory Plate
Compactor and wish you many years of satised use.

ROUTINE SERVICE INTERNALS
BR3570
Due to the nature and environment of use, plate compactors could be exposed to severe operating
conditions. Some general maintenance guidelines will extend the useful life of your machine.
•
•
•
•
•
•
The initial service for your compactor should be performed after 25 hours of use, at which time
your mechanic (or authorized repair shop) should complete all of the recommended checks in
the schedule above. The chart on page 6 (six) is handy for keeping a record of the maintenance
performed and the parts used for servicing your compactor.
Regular service according to the schedule above will prolong the life of the plate compactor and
prevent expensive repairs.
Keeping your plate compactor clean and free from debris is the single most important regular
maintenance operation, over and above the checks in the service schedule above, that can be
performed. After each use your compactor should be cleaned to remove any dust and debris from
the undercarriage and surrounding components. Use of a power washer will make clean up
quick and easy, especially if a non-stick coating was applied prior to use.
In the Service Schedule above, items that should be checked, replaced or adjusted are indicated
by “o” in the appropriate column. Not all plate compactor models include the same features and
options and as such not all service operations may have to be performed. For ease of recording
place a checkmark through the “o” when the item is complete. If an item is not required or not
completed place an“x” through the “o” in the box.
All compactors have governed engine speed of 3600 rpm. See engine manufacturer’s manual for
exact specications. Care should be used when making any adjustments to the compactor not to
change the governed speed. Running the engine at lower rpm’s will result in a decrease of com-
paction 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.
Failure to have your vibratory plate compactor regularly serviced and properly maintained in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer’s instructions will lead to premature failure and void the warranty.

FOREWORD
The Bartell Vibratory Plate Compactor is highly eec-
tive for a wide variety of surface, sub-soil, and back-ll
materials. Although relatively light in weight and easy
to operate, the Vibratory Plate Compactor delivers a
tremendous impact to the soil. Pound for pound, the
compactors provide a higher impact force. That means
more productivity from our ideal combination of speed
and deeper compaction.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always keep unauthorized, inexperienced, untrained
people away from this machine.
Rotating and moving parts will cause injury if contacted.
Make sure guards are in place. Keep hands and feet
away from moving parts.
Fuel the machine only when the engine is stopped, using
all necessary safety precautions.
The engine must always be stopped before attempting
any repair or adjustments. Ignition switch should be o.
Danger: Never operate the machine in an explosive
atmosphere, near combustible materials or where ven-
tilation does not clear exhaust fumes. Repair fuel leaks
immediately. Refer to your engine owner’s manual for
more safety instructions.
Be careful not to come in contact with the muer when
the engine is hot, serious burns may result!
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Your new Bartell Vibratory Plate Compactor has been
shipped to you partially disassembled. Filling the fuel
tank and a brief check of lubricant levels in preparation
for operation is required. To complete the assembly the
following instructions will be helpful.
HANDLE – Refer to the particular nal assembly di-
agram in this parts book that corresponds with your
compactor model. Attach the one-piece handle with
the screws and lock washers supplied.
EXCITER – When installing the exciter assembly between
the clamps, exciter housing should be located with an
equal dimension protruding beyond the outside faces
of the exciter clamps. The exciter clamp bolts must be
torqued to 50 foot pounds. DO NOT EXCEED THESE
RECOMMENDATIONS. Refer to the particular nal as-
sembly diagram in the parts book that corresponds with
your compactor model.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
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.
The plate compactor is designed to run at an en-
gine speed (engine take o shaft) of 3600 rpm.
(normally considered full throttle).
Running the engine at lower rpm’s will result in a
decrease of compaction force and lower travel
speed. It will create excessive “out-of-synch”vibra-
tions resulting in poor compaction, maneuverability,
excessive wear to the machine, and discomfort to
the operator.
STARTING PROCEDURE:
* WARM CLIMATE
Open fuel valve on gas tank. Set throttle lever to
“Fast” idle position, set choke to closed position,
start engine. Open choke slightly to prevent ood-
ing. Move to “Open”or “Run”position when engine
is warm, increase throttle to maximum operation
position (3600 rpm).
STARTING PROCEDURE:
* COLD CLIMATE
Follow same procedure as above but allow longer
warm-up period – 3 to 5 minutes. In cold weather,
oil is much heavier to move and requires more
time to work its way into the moving parts. If maxi-
mum power is not attained, allow further warm-up
time. Fill fuel tank with clean gasoline, use safety
approved gas containers. DO NOT MIX OIL WITH
GASOLINE – USE UNLEADED GAS ONLY.
STOPPING PROCEDURE
1. Throttle engine down.
2. Depress or turn o stop switch.

PRIOR TO OPERATION
Make sure that all dirt, mud, etc., are thoroughly
removed from the unit prior to operation. Special
eort should be given to the bottom face of the
vibrating plate and those areas adjacent to the
cooling air inlet of engine, carburetor, and air
cleaner.
Check all bolts and screws for tightness and make
sure all bolts and screws are securely tightened.
Loose bolts and screws may cause damage to
the unit.
Check the V-belt for tightness. The normal slack
should be approximately 10-15mm (1/2”) when
the belts are forcibly depressed in the middle
position between the two sheaves. If there is
excess belt play, there could be a decrease
in the impact force or erratic vibration, causing
machine damage.
Check the engine oil level and if the engine oil
level is low, it should be relled. Use the proper
motor oil as suggested by the engine manufacturer.
Remove the oil plug in the excitor base and check
the oil level. Make sure the compactor is level when
checking. The oil level should be up to the oil plug.
Every month or every 200 hours of operation,
replace the oil. (Fig.1)
IMPORTANT:
- When changing the oil, the old oil can be
drained by tipping the unit.The oil will drain
easily while it is hot.

5.
A regular grade gasoline should be used in the
engine. When lling the fuel tank, make sure
the fuel lter is used.
OPERATION
Opening the governor lever sharply causes the
compactor to start working (Fig.2). When the
engine speed reaches around 2300rpm, centrifugal
clutch will be engaged. The lever should be operated
quickly without hesitation, because increasing the
engine speed slowly
causes the clutch to slip.
Operate travel lever to have compactor travel
forward or reverse. Push the lever forward for forward
travel, pull it back for reverse and place it in neutral
for vibration in place. (Fig.3)
When you work on soil which contains clay, there
may be cases where traveling speed drops because
compaction plate does not leave ground surface as
easily. Check the bottom of plate to see if clay has
not stuck there. Incidentally, because compactor can
not be as ecient on clayey or high moisture
containing soil, dry such soil to appropriate moisture
content level or carry out compaction twice.
To discontinue your work, contrary to the starting
time, return the governor lever quickly to LOW
position. Do not move it slowly. (Fig.2)

5. STARTING-UP
Gasoline Engine (FOR CPC-60, CPC-95, CPC-160 & CPC-240)
1. Align fuel cock lever with FLOW position (Fig.3)
2. When cold or somehow starting is difficult, turn choke lever to START position. This is not necessary
when engine is warm. (Fig.4)
3. Turn governor lever slightly to high speed side. (Fig.5)
4. Turn engine start switch to ON position. (Fig.6)
5. Hold recoil starter grip and pull it slightly until you feel light resistance. Pull it strongly there. Be careful not
to pull it too hard however because it may come off. Do not release the grip from the pulled position but
return it to starter case before releasing. (Fig.6)
6. If engine has started, while listening to explosion sound, slowly return the choke lever to OPERATION
position. (Fig.7)
After started, be sure to run the engine at low speed for a few minutes.
It must be done in cold climate in particular.
Check for abnormal noise of gas leak in the meantime.
6. OPERATION
Single Plate Compactor (For CPC-95):
1. As the engine warms up, gradually move the chock lever to the OPEN position.
2. Move the speed control lever from the LOW to the HIGH position. When the engine speed reaches
approximately 2300-2600 RPM, the centrifugal clutch engages. If the engine speed increased very slowly,
it is possible that the clutch can slip. Do not operate the speed control lever slowly.
Reversible Plate Compactor (For CPC-60, CPC-160, CPC-240, CPC-350 &
CPC-405):
1. Opening the governor lever sharply causes the compactor to start working (Fig. 5)
When the engine speed reaches around 2300rpm, centrifugal clutch will be engaged.
The lever should be operated quickly without hesitation, because increasing the engine speed slowly
causes the clutch to slip.
2. Operate travel lever to have compactor travel forward or
reverse. Push the lever forward for forward travel, pull
it back for reverse and place it in neutral for vibration in
place. (Fig.11 for CPC-60 and CPC-160; Fig. 12 for
CPC-405)
3. When you work on soil which contains clay, there may
be cases where traveling speed drops because
compaction plate does not leave ground surface as
easily. Check the bottom of plate to see if clay has not
stuck there. Incidentally, because compactor can not
be as efficient on clayey or high moisture containing
soil, dry such soil to appropriate moisture content level
or carry out compaction twice.
4. To discontinue your work, contrary to the starting time,
return the governor lever quickly to LOW position. Do
not move it slowly. (Fig. 5)
CAUTION
While engine is stopped, operating travel lever back and forth a few times causes the lever to be locked at
forward position.
This does not mean it is in trouble but the check valve within hand pump is actuated. Do not try to operate the
lever forcibly. The travel lever will operate normally when the engine is started and vibrator is in action.

Fig.3
4. PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Make sure that all dirt, mud, etc., are thoroughly
removed from the unit prior to operation. Special
effort should be given to the bottom face of the
vibrating plate and those areas adjacent to the
cooling air inlet of engine, carburetor, and air
cleaner.
2. Check all bolts and screws for tightness and make
sure all bolts and screws are securely tightened.
Loose bolts and screws may cause damage to
the unit.
3. Check the V-belt for tightness. The normal slack
should be approximately 10-15mm (1/2”) when
the belts are forcibly depressed in the middle
position between the two sheaves. If there is
excess belt play, there could be a decrease
in the impact force or erratic vibration, causing
machine damage.
4. Check the engine oil level and if the engine oil
level is low, it should be refilled. Use the proper
motor oil as suggested in the table below. (Fig-1)
5. Remove the oil plug in the vibrator assembly
and check the oil level. Make sure the compactor
is level when checking. The oil level should be
up to the oil plug. Every month or every 200 hours
of operation, replace the oil. (Fig-2.1 & Fig-2.2)
CPC-95 Fig-2.1
IMPORTANT:
Use the Motor oil SAE
When changing the oil, the old oil can be drained
by tipping the unit.The oil will drain easily while it
is hot
6. A regular grade gasoline should be used in the
engine. When filling the fuel tank, make sure
the fuel filter is used. CPC-60,CPC-160,CPC-405 Fig-2.2
Season Temperature Oil to be used
Summer 25℃or higher SAE#30
Spring/Fall 25℃～10℃SAE#30, #20
Winter 0℃or lower SAE#10
Fig.1
Season Temperature Grade of Exciter Oil
Summer 25C or higher SAE#30
Spring/Fall 25C~10C SAE#30, #20
Winter 0C~10C SAE#10

Close fuel shut o valve.
Siphon excess gasoline from tank.
Start engine until it stops from lack of fuel. This will
use up all the fuel in the carburetor and prevent for-
mation of deposits due to evaporation of fuel.
Remove spark plug and pour 2 oz. of SAE 10W-30
motor oil into the cylinder. Slowly crank the engine 2
or 3 times to distribute the oil throughout the cylinder.
This will help prevent rust during storage. Replace
spark plug.
Store the unit in an upright position in a cool, dry,
well ventilated area.
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining your compactor will insure long life to the
machine and its components.
AIR CLEANER - Keep air lter clean at all times.
Wash away dust and debris using a non-oil based
cleaning solvent. Let the lter dry before re-installing.
LUBRICATION – Always check engine oil regularly.
Use proper engine oil as recommended. See chart
below. Fill crankcase to levels as recommended in
manufacture’s engine manual.
SPARK PLUG – Check and clean spark plugs regu-
larly. A fouled, dirty or carboned spark plug causes
hard starting and poor engine performance. Set spark
plug gap to recommended clearance. Refer to engine
manual.
BELT TENSION – IMPORTANT!
If there is excessive belt play, there will be a decrease
in the impact force and erratic vibration, which could
cause machine damage. The normal belt play should
be 1/2” to 5/8” which is attained by depressing the
top section of the belt at the belt guard mounting
bracket location. When adjusting the belt make sure
that the clutch is in alignment with exciter pulley.
Tighten all engine mount bolts, adjust the two en-
gine-stop bolts, and tighten lock nuts.
STORAGE
The following steps should be taken to prepare your
plate compactor for extended storage.
