SAFETY
This manual contains important information on how to use the Crommelins compactor
models properly and safely. Please read through this manual before you attempt to
operate this product.
Ensure safe operation, this compactor is designed to give safe and dependable service if
operated according to the instructions.
•Always make a pre-operation inspection before starting the engine. (For more
information read engine operational manual)
•Stay AWAY from base plate during operation.
•Do not place flammable objects near the unit.
•Children and pets must always keep away from the area of operation.
•Never allow anyone to operate the unit without proper instructions.
•Must know how to stop the engine quickly and understand the operation of all controls.
•Be careful with the operating place and ventilation, avoid operating the machine in a
closed room, tunnel or other badly ventilated places, as its exhaust fumes contain
deadly poisonous carbon monoxide. If the machine is unavoidably operated in such a
place, discharge the exhaust fumes outside the room by a suitable means.
•Mufflers and other hot parts are dangerous. Do not touch them with hands or any other
body parts.
•Observe the following cautions when transporting. Close fuel tank cap securely and
close fuel tap tightly during transportation. Drain petrol or diesel from fuel tank before
transporting over a long distance or on rough roads.
•Stop engine without fail before replenishing fuel tank. Never replenish fuel while the
engine is running or remains hot otherwise spilled or evaporated fuel is liable to catch
fire from the engine spark or muffler heat. Wipe off spilled fuel before starting engine.
To prevent injury, wear the following protective clothing: Gloves, hard hat, work boots, ear
plugs, safety goggles and any other protective items required by job conditions.

PRE-OPERATION
•Consult engine manual for detailed starting information.
•Check all bolts and screws for tightness. Loose bolts and screws may cause damage to
the unit.
•Make sure that all dirt, mud, etc., are thoroughly removed from areas such as cooling air
inlet of engine, carburettor, and air cleaner.
•Check V-belt tightness. The normal slack should be approximately 10-15mm (1/2”) when
the belts are forcibly depressed in the middle position between two pulleys. To set belt
tightness; refer to Belt Setting at page 3.
•Check fuel level and refill as required.
•Check engine oil level. If engine oil level is low, refill it with the correct engine oil as
stated in the engine manual.
CAUTION! – Make sure nobody is in the vicinity of the compactor when starting the engine;
it might move suddenly with force.
STARTING PETROL COMPACTOR
STEP 1 – Turn fuel tap to ON position.
STEP 2 – Set throttle lever to LOW (starting position).
STEP 3 – For cold engine starting, close choke lever.
STEP 4– Set engine switch to ON.
STEP 5 – Pull recoil start handle to point of resistance, carefully return handle, then pull
smoothly and swiftly to START.
DO NOT pull recoil starter rope to the end as it may cause damage. When the rope is pulled
out, carefully return the rope slowly. Do not let the rope snap back.
STEP 6 – As the engine warms up return the choke to the open position. The warmup
procedure should particularly be followed during cold weather.
STARTING DIESEL COMPACTOR (REFER TO ENGINE MANUAL)
STEP 1 – Turn fuel tap to ON position.
STEP 2 – Set throttle lever to LOW (starting position).
STEP 3 – Engine is fitted with automatic decompression.
STEP 4– Set engine switch to ON.
STEP 5- Pull recoil start handle to point of resistance, carefully return handle, then pull
smoothly and swiftly to START.
DO NOT pull recoil starter rope to the end as it may cause damage. When the rope is pulled
out, carefully return the rope slowly. Do not let the rope snap back.

HINTS OF OPERATION
•During uphill compaction, it may be necessary to swing the handle over and pull the
machine slightly.
•When compacting on a sloping terrain, the machine may tend to slide sideways. The
operator must steer toward the rise causing the machine to travel at an angle. DO
NOT operate on inclines of more than 20 degrees.
•When operating the machine in wet or damp soil, it may occasionally be required to
clean the bottom of the base plate. Mud accumulation on the base plate will slow the
machine down and prevent efficient soil compaction.
•When operating this compactor on asphalt surface, it is recommended that light oil or
kerosene be applied to the bottom of the base plate to prevent asphalt sticking and/or
accumulation.
•Operating the machine on a fully compacted, hard, or non-yielding surface will cause it
to bounce and damage exciter bearings and will greatly reduce the life of the machine.
Reduce engine speed to eliminate bounce.
•When transporting the unit ensure the fuel tap is turned OFF to prevent flooding.
STOPPING PETROL COMPACTOR
STEP 1 – Set throttle lever to LOW (starting position). Allow engine to run for 2-3
minutes.
STEP 2 – Set engine switch to OFF position. Ensure the engine stops completely.
STEP 3 – Turn fuel tap to OFF position.
STEP 4– Cover the machine after the muffler has cooled off and keep the
compactor in a dry place.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN: Move throttle lever to LOW and set engine switch to
OFF position.
STOPPING DIESEL COMPACTOR
STEP 1 – Set throttle lever to LOW (starting position). Allow engine to run for 2-3
minutes.
STEP 2 – Set engine switch to OFF position. Ensure the engine stops completely.
STEP 3 – Turn fuel tap to OFF position.
STEP 4– Cover the machine after the muffler has cooled off and keep the
compactor in a dry place.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION - FLAMMABLE LIQUID. When performing maintenance, stop engine and do not
smoke in adjacent area.
CAUTION - HIGH TEMPERATURE. Allow machine and engine to cool down before
performing maintenance. Contact with hot components can cause serious injury.
CAUTION - MOVING PARTS. Make sure engine is shut down before maintenance. Contact
with moving parts can cause serious injury.
DAILY SERVICE
•Check air cleaner element and clean as necessary.
•Check engine oil levels.
•Check for any loose fasteners.
•Check belt tension.
WEEKLY SERVICE (every 50 hours of operation)
•Refer to engine service manual.
•Check engine mounts and all bolts and screws for tightness. Loose bolts and
screws may cause damage to the unit.
BELT SETTING
STEP 1 – Loosen engine base bolt (underneath engine) to allow engine-base movement.
STEP 2 – Insert V-belt into clutch pulley and reducer pulley one at a time.
STEP 3 – Adjust the engine position by moving engine-base to ensure v-belts are tight
enough.
IMPORTANT: Normal slack should be approximately 10-15mm (1/2”) when the belts are
forcibly depressed in the middle position between rotor pulley and clutch pulley.
Tighten all engine bolts and cover V-belt and pulley with belt cover, tighten cover bolts.
STORAGE
•Ensure fuel tap is turned OFF position.
•Make sure that the engine is completely cool before storage.
•Clean up oil and dust accumulation on rubber parts.
•Clean the base plate and wipe on a light coat of oil to prevent rust formation.
•Cover the machine and store it in a dry place.
LONG TERM STORAGE
Remove fuel from the fuel tank. Also remove fuel remaining in the fuel line and chamber of
the carburettor. To drain fuel from the chamber of the carburettor, remove the drain plug
provided at the chamber and remove fuel.
