Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can explode if ignited. Take precautions when
using to reduce the chance of serious personal injury.
When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an approved fuel storage container
while in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, open flames or other
sources of ignition near the area while adding fuel or operating the unit. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts
and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the
engine is hot. Do not operate the machine with known leaks in the fuel system.
Loose the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
Never overfill fuel tank (there should be no fuel above the upper limit mark).
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid
creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose.
Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from sparks, open flames or other
sources of ignition.
Never store fuel or machine with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may

2. ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT
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. Take special

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.
These compactors are not intended to be used on cohesive soils such clay
or hard surfaces like concrete.
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

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.
Engine Switch
The engine switch enables and disables the ignition system. The engine switch must
be in the ON position for the engine to run. Turning the engine switch to the OFF
position stops the engine.
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 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.

Oil Drain Hose
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.
