3. USING THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME
When the machine is delivered from Fairport it will have no oil in the engine. Please
refer to the Engine Manufacturers Manual issued with the machine for instructions on
filling the engine with the correct type and quantity of oil.
When the machine is delivered from Fairport there is oil in the vibrator unit. Refer
to Section 4 for advise on checking the oil level and topping up as required.
4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
(See Also The Engine Manufacturer’s Book Issued With The Machine)
Daily: Check engine oil level twice daily.
Check tightness of all fastenings after first days use, thereafter check
monthly.
Check belt tension after first days use, thereafter check monthly.
Clean air filter daily if working in dusty conditions.
Clean base plate throroughly if compacting black-top or lean concrete.
Weekly: Clean air filter (see “daily”).
Check Vibrator Oil Level
Monthly: Check tightness of fastenings.
Check condition and tightness of anti-vibration mounts. Poor condition
of vibration mountings can lead to a deterioration of the product
vibration levels.
Check belt tension.
Vibrator Unit
Remove the Oil Level Plug to check the oil level. The level should be at the bottom of
the thread in the vibrator end face. To top up, remove the filler plug and fill with Total
PRESLIA 32 or equivalent.

5. STARTING THE ENGINE
Check oil level
Turn fuel tap on.
Put speed control lever to tick-over.
If engine is cold, close the choke (petrol engines only).
Turn engine switch to ON(1) position.
Pull the starter rope toggle lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly using quick
short pull. Do not pull rope to its full extent or allow toggle to snap back against
engine. Return gently to avoid damage.
Whenthe engine is warm, open choke.
Position engine speed control lever to give required engine speed (usually full
speed).
Commence vibration – the compactor is self – travelling.
To stop the engine, postion the engine speed control to slow and turn the engine
switch to off(0).
Turn the fuel valve off.
6. OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS
Read section (1) - Safety.
NOTE: Drive between engine and vibrator is through a centrifugal clutch. Vibration
will commence as engine speed is increased.
Position the engine speed control lever to give required speed (usually full speed).
Commence compaction. The compactor is self-travelling. Its speed of travel and the
number of passes required to achieve optimum compaction depends on the type and
condition of material being compacted and the layer depth.
Uniformly graded granular material compacts far more efficiently than wet cohesive
material.
When Compacting block paving always use a rubber attachment mat, contact your
agent for details.
When compacting blacktop always use a water spray, contact your agent for details.
Do not run the machine on solid surfaces, as this is likely to cause damage.
7. VEE BELT ADJUSTMENT
It is important to note that belt tension in this application is much less than is
generally accepted as normal. Too high a belt tension may lead to engine damage,
excessive vibration in the handle, short belt life and short vibrator shaft bearing life
due to excessive transmission of vibration through the belt. Correct adjustment is
achieved by moving the engine back to just take the slack out of the belt. With light
finger pressure on top of the belt and at the centre of the span, a deflection of
between 5mm and 10mm is expected.
8. WARRANTY CONDITIONS AND CLAIMS PROCEDURE
All products supplied by Fairport Construction Equipment Ltd (hereafter referred to as
FCE) are warranted to be free of defects due to faulty materials or workmanship for a
period of 12 months from the date of original despatch from FCE or as specified

Hydraulic hoses and hydraulic couplings – 3 months.
Hydraulic accumulators – 6 months.
Flexible drives – 6 months.
All spare parts used in repairs carried out by FCE or an authorised dealer or
repairer – 3 months.
If the goods have been purchased through a stockist the above warranty periods also
apply from receipt of the goods by the user of the equipment up to a total of a further
6 months from date of despatch from FCE whichever is earlier.
Filter elements, gauges and oils are specifically excluded from this warranty.
FCE shall at their option repair or replace during normal working hours goods
accepted as faulty free of charge to the user.
For proprietary items such as engines, the original manufacturer’s warranty and
conditions shall apply.
CONDITIONS
The goods shall be returned at the purchaser’s expense to FCE or to a destination
FCE may reasonably direct. Carriage costs will be refunded if warranty is accepted.
Warranty claims will not be considered where there is evidence that failure has been
caused by carelessness, improper use, negligence, inadequate servicing, incorrect
engine speeds, fair wear and tear or non-compliance with instructions issued by the
manufacturer.
To the extent permitted by law, the liability of FCE under this section is confined only
to providing a remedy for defective goods and does not extend to any consequential
loss, loss of profit, injury or damage suffered.
Warranty will not be accepted on dismantled goods unless dismantling was carried
out with the written permission of FCE.
No claim shall be considered if other than genuine parts supplied by FCE have been
used.
Products are only covered by this warranty in the country to where they were
supplied by FCE.
Warranty on products applies only to the original user of the equipment.
This warranty shall not apply if the serial number or other identifying numbers or
marks applied by FCE have been removed, defaced or are otherwise illegible.
CLAIMS PROCEDURE
Check that the goods are still under warranty before returning them to FCE (see
above for warranty periods).
Return the goods to FCE with an order number for the work to proceed. If warranty
is accepted no charge will be made. If warranty is not accepted a quotation will be
given for the repair and the conditions under the section headed REPAIRS AND
ESTIMATES will apply.
In the customer’s interest, goods must be accompanied by documentation detailing
the nature of the fault or its symptoms. Phrases such as ‘Faulty’ are unacceptable
FPC-350, 400 & 450 6

and will result in delays and possible charges to defray costs incurred in identifying
the fault.
In the case of hydraulic breakers and power packs, both the breaker and the pack
should be returned.
9. REPAIRS AND ESTIMATES
When returning a machine, or an assembly for repair, always include an Advice Note
quoting model and serial number of the machine.
An official order must also be forwarded to FCE giving detailed instructions. No
repair work can be carried out unless covered by an official order.
An estimate will be submitted before proceeding with any repair. To partly cover the
cost in dismantling, cleaning and inspection, a small charge will be made, this
however will be waived upon receipt of your official instructions to proceed with the
repair.
In the event of the estimate not being accepted, a further charge will be made to
defray the rebuilding of the machine.
Estimates must be treated as approximate only as it may be found necessary to use
additional parts on further examination.
10. ENVIRONMENT
This machine contains materials that can be recycled. We recommend that when the
machine is disposed off it is done safely and in a way that protects the environment.
