Your new Vibratory Plate Compactor will
more than satisfy your expectations. It has
been manufactured under stringent quality
standards to meet superior performance
criteria. You will find it easy and safe to
operate, and with proper care, it will give you
many years of dependable service.
Carefully read through this entire
operator’s manual before using your
new Log Splitter. Take special care
to heed the cautions and warnings.
These compactors are not intended
to be used on cohesive soils such
clay or hard surfaces like concrete.
The commitment to quality has been designed
into details: reinforced self-cleaning base
plate, engine oil drain hose, closed V-belt
guard, self-adjusting centrifugal clutch and
folding handle. A range of useful accessories
enables use in all kinds of applications.
The Plate Compactor applies energy to the
loose soil or other materials to increase its
density and load bearing capacity, mainly used
for small repair and maintenance work. The
loose soil or particles are moved or rearranged
in a particular manner close to each other to
avoid any trapped air or voids. It increases
the load bearing capacity, decreases water
seepage, prevents soil settlement, reduces
swelling, contraction of the soil and prevents
frost damage. It is ideal for compaction
of granular soils, sands, gravel, crushed
aggregate and mixed soils.
The Engine Manufacturer is responsible for
all engine-related issues with regards to
performance, power rating, specifications,
warranty and service. Please refer to the
Engine Manufacturer’s owner/operator’s
manual, packed separately with your unit, for
more information.

you are not pounding.

PLATE COMPACTORS 5
GB
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts.
Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes
and hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or
muffler. These parts get extremely hot from
operation. They remain hot for a short time
after you turn off the unit. Allow the engine
to cool before doing maintenance or making
adjustments.
If the machine should start to make an unusual
noise or vibration, immediately shut off the
engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and
check for the cause. Unusual noise or vibration
is generally warning of trouble.
Use only attachments and accessories
approved by the manufacturer. Failure to do
so can result in personal injury.

plate compactor.
If the unit strikes a foreign object, stop the
engine, disconnect the spark plug, thoroughly
inspect the machine for any damage, and
repair the damage before restarting and
operating the machine.
Do not overload the machine capacity by
compacting too deep in a single pass or at too
fast a rate.
Never operate the unit at high transport
speeds on hard or slippery surfaces.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on
or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Do not carry
passengers.
Never leave the operating position and leave
the plate compactor unattended when the
engine is running.
Always stop the engine when compacting is
delayed or when walking from one location to
another.
Stay away from the edged of ditches and
avoid actions that may cause the plate
compactor to topple over.
Always ascend slopes carefully, in a direct path
and in reverse to present the plate compactor
from toppling over onto the operator.
Always park the unit on a firm and level
surface and shut the tool off.
To reduce exposure to vibration, limit the
hours of operation and take periodic breaks
to minimize repetition and rest your hand.

Fuel Valve Control
The fuel valve opens and closes the passage
between the fuel tank and the carburetor. The
fuel valve lever must be in the ON position
for the engine to run. When the engine is not
in use, leave the fuel valve lever in the OFF
position to prevent carburetor flooding and to
reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
Throttle Control
The throttle lever controls engine speed.
Moving the throttle lever makes the engine
run faster or slower.

Choke Lever
The choke lever opens and closes the choke
valve in the carburetor. The closed position
enriches the fuel mixture for starting a cold
engine. The open position provides the correct
fuel mixture for operation after starting, and

PLATE COMPACTORS

GB
Running the engine with dirty oil can cause
premature engine wear and failure. Changing
oil regularly is extremely important. The
flexible oil drain hose is equipped to drain oil
into appropriate receptacle.
Exciter
An eccentric weight mounted on the exciter
shaft contained within 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.
Adding fuel
Fill the fuel tank as instructed in the separate
Engine Manual packed with the Plate
Compactor.
More detailed description of the engine
operation and all related precautions and
procedures can be found in the Engine Manual
packed separately with the unit.
Starting Engine
1. Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
2. To start a cold engine, move the choke to
the CLOSE position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke
lever in the OPEN position.
3. Move the throttle lever away from the SLOW
position, about 1/3 of the way toward the
FAST position.
4. Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
5. Operate the starter.
Oil Drain Hose
Compactor Operation
1. After engine warms up, pull throttle lever
to accelerate engine speed. Plate will begin
vibrating and move forward.
2. The plate compactor is designed to run at an
engine speed (engine take off 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” vibrations resulting in poor
compaction, maneuverability, excessive
wear to the machine, and discomfort to the
operator.
Operating
Do not operate plate on concrete or
on extremely hard, dry, compacted
surfaces. The plate will jump rather
than vibrate and could damage both
plate and engine.

for restarting a warm engine. Some engine
applications use a remotely-mounted choke
control rather than the engine-mounted choke
lever.
Recoil Starter Grip
Pulling the starter grip operates the recoil
starter to crank the engine.

PLATE COMPACTORS 11
GB
3. In operation, guide the machine, but let the
compactor do the work. Bearing down on
the handle is unnecessary and causes shock
absorber wear.
4. On level surfaces the compactor moves
forward rapidly. On uneven surfaces or
inclines, light forward pressure on handle
may be required to assist the compactor in
moving forward.
5. The number of passes required to reach a
desired compaction level will depend on the
type and moisture content of soil. Maximum
soil compaction has been reached when
excessive kickback is noticed.
When using a compactor on asphalt,
Water Sprinkler Kit is required to
help prevent the bottom plate from
adhering to the hot asphalt surface.
When using plate on paving stones,
attach a pad to the bottom of
the plate to prevent chipping or
grinding surface of the stones. A
special urethane pad designed
for this purpose is available as an
optional accessory.
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
compacting. This will also reduce
service to the air filter.
Stopping Engine
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply
turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
Under normal conditions, use the following
procedure.
1. Move the throttle lever to the SLOW position.
2. Let engine idle for one or two minutes.
3. Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
4. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
Idle Speed
Set throttle control lever to its “low” position
to reduce stress on the engine when
compacting is not being performed. Lowering
the engine speed to idle the engine will
help extend the life of the engine, as well as
conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the
machine.
Do not move choke control to
CLOSE to stop engine. Backfire or
engine damage may occur.
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining your compactor will insure long life
to the machine and its components.
Preventive Maintenance
1. Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.
2. Keep the engine’s throttle lever in its SLOW
position, and remove spark plug wire from
spark plug and secure.
3. Inspect the general condition of the plate
compactor. Check for loose screws,
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
cracked or broken parts, and any other
condition that may affect its safe operation.
4. Remove all debris from the plate compactor
with a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed
air. Then use a premium quality lightweight
machine oil to lubricate all moving parts.

On new machines or after installing
a new belt, check belt tension after
first 20 hours of operation. Check
and adjust belt every 50 hours
thereafter.
Checking V-Belt(s)
To ensure optimum power transmission from
the engine to the eccentric shaft, the V-belt(s)
must be in good condition and operate under
proper tension.
1. Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.
2. Remove the belt guard to access the
V-belt(s).
3. Check the condition of the V-belt(s). If any
V-belt is cracked, frayed, or glazed, it should
be replaced as soon as convenient.
4. Check the V-belt tension by squeezing them
in the center. The normal deflection on each
side should be 9mm (3/8”) to 13mm (1/2”)
with moderate pressure from your thumb or
finger.
When adjusting the belt(s), make
sure that the clutch pulley is in
alignment with exciter pulley.
Tensioning V-Belt(s)
Proper belt tension is critical to good
performance.
Proper adjustment will assure long belt life.
Too much or too little belt tension will cause
premature belt failure.
2. Loosen the jam nuts B, leaving enough space
between the nut and bracket.
3. Push engine toward the back of the plate by

STORAGE
If the plate compactor will not be used for a
period longer than 30 days, following the steps
below to prepare your unit for storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel
containing ethanol or MTBE can start to go
stale in 30 days. Stale fuel has high gum
content and can clog the carburetor and
restrict fuel flow.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until
it stops. This ensures no fuel is left in the
carburetor. Run the engine until it stops.
This helps prevent deposits from forming
inside the carburetor and possible engine
damage.
5. Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of
the compactor and to keep the air vents
free of obstructions.
Remove the spark plug and drain all
of the oil from the cylinder before
attempting to start the unit after
storage.
3. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil
from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of the
grade recommended in the Engine Manual.
4. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark
plug and put 60 ml of SAE-30 of high quality
motor oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter
rope slowly to distribute the oil. Replace the
spark plug.
