SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLATE COMPACTORS
SAFETY
•Plate compactors must only be operated by person who:
∗is at least 18 years old;
∗is physically and mentally fit for this job;
∗may be expected to carry out the job he’s charged with carefully.
∗the employer must directly assign people who guide plate compactor.
•Plate compactors must only be used for compaction jobs observing safety and operating
instructions.
•People who work with plate compactors must know everything regarding safety
instructions.
•Do not take drugs or drink alcohol before using plate compactors.
•Always wear appropriate protective clothes (ear protections, gloves, protecting shoes and
helmet).
•Do not alterate the operation devices of the plate compactor.
•Do not leave control elements during compaction.
•Store the compactor with engine off in a safe place.
•Always refill fuel tank when the engine is off. Do not allow fuel to come into contact with the
hot parts of compactor and engine.
•Do not smoke when using compactor. Keep the compactor out of open flames.
•Always check fuel tank cap. If there is a fuel cock, shut it off when the engine is not
working.
WARNING
If fuel tank leaks, replace it immediately: A fuel tank in bad conditions could
explode
•Do not use the compactor in places where there are gaseous exhalations.
•Do not use the machine indoors or in an enclosed area unless inadequate ventilation.
•Always wear appropriate protective clothes.
•When the work area is near slopes, the compactor could turn over.
•When you use compactor in reverse and in a narrow place, the operator must be sideways
from the handle in order to avoid stumbling.
•Always operate in safe conditions in order to avoid accidents.
•Always operate in maximum stability conditions.
•Use transport wheels only for movements in yard. In all the other situations they must be
removed.
•Always make sure of the proper functioning of the safety and control devices.
•If there are any problems, stop immediately the machine and inform the person responsible
of the yard.
TRANSPORT AND LIFTING
•Do not lift the compactor when is running.
•Check that lifting points are not damaged.
•For loading and unloading the compactor, appropriate lifting-gear are necessary which
have to be used on the lifting points.
•Be sure that the ramps are fixed and check the tolerable weight in order to avoid turnovers.

•Do not transport compactors when engine is running.
•Tie the machine on vehicle to prevent sliding or tipping over.
•For long transports, empty completely the fuel tank and close it.
WARNING
Do not lift or hook the plate compactor by the handle.
MAINTENANCE
•Use original spare parts only.
•Do not alterate the operation devices of plate compactor.
•Do not turn the engine on without air filter.
WARNING
Modifications in this machine are subject to the express approval of
BATMATIC which in case of non observance will refuse all liabilities and all
warranties.
•Do not make maintenance operations when machine is running or when engine is on.
•As soon as maintenance and repair jobs have been completed, all safety devices have to
be properly reinstalled.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is required for a good performance of the compactor.
FIRE
In the case of a fire in the machine, if possible use an AB class powder extinguisher.
RESIDUAL RISK
Plate compactors are designed for absorbing a large part of machine vibrations.
Depending on the operation, the ground conditions and exposure time, the recommended limits for
hand-arm vibrations may be exceeded.
WARNING
Do not use the machine on grounds already compacted.
Long exposure to vibrations can damage the hands and wrists. Do not use the machine if you
experience discomfort, cramp or pain and consult a doctor before restart working with the machine.
Long exposure to loud noise without ear protector can cause permanent damage to hearing.
Please also observe regulations valid in Your yard.

CLIMBING ABILITY
FUNCTION
The vibration required for tamping is produced by the exciter which is on the compacting plate.
The engine starts the exciter and the torque is transmitted by the centrifugal clutch and by the belt.
In order to allow the idling of the drive engine, the centrifugal clutch, at low engine speeds,
interrupts the flow of power to exciter. The compactor must always be used with the gas handle in
the “OPERATIVE” position.
The engine supporting and the compacting plates are connected by 4 shockmount, which are
mounted to avoid that vibrations reach the operator.
APPLICATIONS
The compactor CB1450 is suitable for asphalted road maintenance, pavé and interlocking tiles
laying, compaction of any kind of soils.

OPERATION
CHECKS BEFORE STARTING
•Before start using compactor, carefully read instruction manual.
•Engine oil level
Check oil level using the proper dipstick. If necessary refill with SAE 15 W 40 oil.
•Air filter
Check that air filter is clean and in good condition. If necessary clean or replace it.
•Fuel
Never use oil/gasoline mixture or dirty fuel. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water into fuel tank.
Refuel avoiding leaks on engine.
ENGINE STARTING (MANUAL)
•Open the fuel valve.
•Move the throttle lever to 3/4 position.
•Turn the choke lever (if present).
•Turn the engine switch on the ON position.
•Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.
Pull hand crank until it starts, in order to avoid counterblows
•As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever (if present).
•Warm up the engine at the minimum speed for some minutes.
•The compactor will start moving when the throttle lever is in operative position.
ENGINE STOPPING (MANUAL)
•Move the throttle lever to the minimum position. Warm up the engine at the minimum speed
for some minutes.
•Turn the engine switch on the OFF position.
WARNING
Never operate the engine switch when the engine is at the maximum speed.
•Turn the fuel valve on the OFF position.
ENGINE OIL
•Check oil level using the proper dipstick, if necessary refill with SAE 15 W 40 oil.
Oil change
•Drain oil at warm engine.
•Refill with SAE 15W40 oil.
WARNING
Only use oil with characteristics advised by the manufacturer engine (see
engine book).

AIR FILTER (DRY)
WARNING
Clean air filter daily in order to avoid engine damages.
•Open air cleaner and remove element.
•Lightly and repeatedly tap the element on a hard surface to eliminate all excess dirt.
•Clean the element.
•Refit the air filter. Do not run the engine without the air filter.
AIR FILTER (OIL BATH)
WARNING
Clean air filter daily in order to avoid engine damages.
•Open air cleaner and remove upper element.
•Wash the upper filtering element with soap and water.
•Clean the upper bowl.
•Remount the upper filtering element.
•Remove the lower filtering element.
•Clean and dry filtering element.
•Drain and clean bowl.
•Fill with engine oil up to level mark.
•Reassemble air cleaner.
WARNING
Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning the air filter to
avoid fire and explosions.
Do not disperse oil, batteries, fuel and dangerous substances in the
environment, as they have high pollution power.
