The machine has been built in accordance with state-of-the-art standards and the recognized safety rules. Nevertheless, its
use may constitute a risk to life and limb of the user or of third parties, or cause damage to the machine and to other material
property.
ALWAYS wear or use the proper safety items required for your personal protection.
Forreasons of security,long hair mustbe tied backor otherwise secured,garments must beclose-fitting and no jewelery- such
as rings or watches - may be worn. Injury may result from being caught up in the machinery or from rings catching on moving
parts.
If you have ANY QUESTIONS about the safe use or maintenance of this unit, ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR OR CONTACT ANY
INGERSOLL-RAND DISTRIBUTOR. NEVER GUESS - ALWAYS CHECK.
Never make any modifications, additions or conversions which might affect safety without the supplier’s approval. This also
applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices and valves as well as to welding work on load-bearing elements.
Observe all fire-warning and fire-fighting procedures.
PRE-STARTINSPECTION
INSPECT your machine. Have any malfunctioning, broken or missing parts corrected or replaced before use.
Check the machine at least once per working shift for obvious damage and defects. Report any changes (incl. changes in the
machine’s working behaviour) to the competent organization/person immediately. If necessary, stop the machine immediately
and lock it.
Take the necessary precautions to ensure that the machine is used only when in a safe and reliable state.
Operate the machine only if all protective and safety oriented devices, such as removable safety devices, emergency shut-off
equipment, sound-proofing elements and exhausts, are in place and fully functional.
The electrical equipment of machines is to be inspected and checked at regular intervals. Defects such as loose connections
or scorched cables must be rectified immediately.
VERIFY that all the instruction and safety labels are in place and readable. These are as important as any other equipment
on the compactor.
NEVER fill the fuel tank, with the engine running, while near an open flame, or while smoking. ALWAYS wipe up any spilled
fuel immediately.

SECTION 1 -
SAFETYPRECAUTIONSANDGUIDELINES
1-2
CHECK for WARNING tags placed on the machine. DO NOT operate the equipment until repairs have been made and the
WARNING tags have been removed by authorized personnel.
KNOW the location of the Emergency Shut-Down Control if the machine is so equipped.
OPERATING
In the event of safety-relevant modifications or changes in the behaviour of the machine during operation, stop the machine
immediately and report the malfunction to the competent authority/person.
Always wear the prescribed ear protectors.
Always make sure that no person or obstruction is in your line of travel. Watch your step to avoid tripping.
USE extreme caution and be observant when working in close quarters or congested areas.
Beforebeginningwork,familiarizeyourselfwiththesurroundingsandcircumstancesofthesite,suchasobstaclesintheworking
and travelling area, the soil bearing capacity and any barriers separating the construction site from public roads.
When travelling on public roads, ways and places always observe the valid traffic regulations and, if necessary, make sure
beforehand that the machine is in a condition compatible with these regulations
Always keep at a distance from the edges of building pits and slopes.
DO NOT run the engine in a closed building for an extended length of time. EXHAUST FUMES CAN KILL.
DO NOT operate the compactor on non-compactable material, such as concrete or hardened asphalt.
MAINTENANCE
Observe the adjusting, maintenance and inspection activities and intervals set out in the operating instructions, including
information on the replacement of parts and equipment. These activities must be executed by skilled personnel only.
Ensure that the maintenance area is adequately secured.
After cleaning, examine all fuel, lubricant, and hydraulic fluid lines for leaks, loose connections, chafe marks and damage. Any
defects found must be rectified without delay.
Always tighten any screwed connections that have been loosened during maintenance and repair.

1-3
SECTION 1 -
SAFETYPRECAUTIONSANDGUIDELINES
Any safety devices removed for set-up, maintenance or repair purposes must be refitted and checked immediately upon
completion of the maintenance and repair work.
Ensure that all consumables and replaced parts are disposed of safely and with minimum environmental impact.
AVOID, whenever possible, servicing, cleaning or examining the unit with the engine running.
NEVER fill the fuel tank, with the engine running, while near an open flame, or while smoking. ALWAYS wipe up any spilled
fuel immediately.
ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug before performing any work on the unit.
DO NOT alter the engine governor settings from those indicated in the engine manual.
ALWAYS replace damaged or lost decals. Refer to the Parts Manual for the proper location and part number of all decals.

EXCELLENT CHOICE! The Ingersoll-Rand Vibratory Plate Compactor you have chosen will give you many hours of
maintenance free operation resulting in a faster return of your investment.
Safe operation depends on reliable equipment and the use of proper operating procedures. Performing the checks and
services described in this manual will help keep your machine in good condition. These recommended operation
procedures will help you to avoid unsafe practices.

operation. Therefore, you are the only person who can guarantee safe operation and maintenance. It is important that any
procedure not specifically recommended in this manual be thoroughly evaluated from the standpoint of safety before it is
implemented.
Continuing improvement and advancement of product design may cause changes to your machine which may not be
included in this publication. Each publication is reviewed and revised, as required, to update and include these changes
in later editions. Ingersoll-Rand reserves the right to modify or make changes within a specific model group without
notice and without incurring any liability to retrofit units previously shipped from the factory. Contact your Ingersoll-Rand

Improper maintenance can be hazardous.
Read and understand SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND GUIDELINES before you perform any
maintenance, service or repairs.
SAFETYCHECKS-PRE-STARTING
Before starting each day, in addition to the 10 hour daily routine maintenance, check or inspect the following items to ensure
trouble free performance.
1. Check fluid lines, hoses, fittings, filler openings, drain plugs, pressure cap, muffler, safety shrouds and the area underneath
the unit for signs of leakage or damage. Fix any leaks and correct any damage before operating.
2. Inspect the entire unit for damaged or missing parts and repair or replace parts as needed.
3. Check the fuel level. If necessary, fill the fuel tank with the proper fuel.
4. Check all fastening hardware to ensure it is adequately tightened and that none is missing or broken.
5. Do not operate faulty equipment.
6. Be observant of people and obstructions within the work area.
7. Read “INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE” for HONDA GX120K1 engine for BX-6WH or GX160K1 engine BX-8WH/12WH and
model and this instruction manual for correct use and care.
Be sure the unit is correctly maintained in good operating condition.

SECTION4-OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS

NSPECTIONPRIORTOOPERATION
CHECK ENGINE OIL
Before checking or refilling engine oil, be sure the compactor is located on a stable level surface.
Do not thread the gauge into oil filler to check oil level. If the oil level is below the lower level line on the dipstick, refill with the
proper oil to the upper level (to the neck of oil filler). See section 9.
CHECKENGINEFUEL
Do not refuel while smoking, near an open flame or other potential hazards.
CLEANING AIRCLEANER
Do not run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result.
If the air cleaner element is seriously contaminated, engine start up failure, poor output or engine
malfunction may result.
Check Air Cleaner to be sure it is clean and not comtaminated. If cleaning is required,perform the follwing steps:
Remove the wing nut, air cleaner cover, outer urethane foam element and inner paper element. Wash the foam element
in a household cleaner and warm water. Rense thoroughly and allow to dry completely . Saturate the foam element in
engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil. Tap the inner paper element lightly on a har surface or blow out with
compressed air from the inside. Do not use a brush to clean the element. Wipe out the air cleaner cover with a clean
damp cloth and reassemble the air cleaner.
CHECK EACH PART FOR LOSE OR BROKEN BOLTS AND NUTS
Tighten loose bolts and nuts, if any. Check each part for fuel or oil leak. Replace broken or damaged parts, if any, with
new ones.
