4. FUNCTIONS AND CONTROLS
The motor is controlled by an ON/OFF switch or push button is mounted on
the motor below the fuel tank. Tension of the drive belt is adjustable, loosen
the four nuts on the bolts which secure the motor to the base plate. Adjust the
set screws which bear against the motor crankcase to achieve the required
belt tension. Ensure that the four nuts and the set screw lock nuts are
tightened after adjustment.
5. OPERATION
Pre-start-up inspection
The following Pre-start-up inspection must be performed before the start of
each work session or after every four hours of use, whichever is first. If any
fault is discovered, the compactor must not be used until the fault is rectified.
Thoroughly inspect the compactor for signs of damage.
1. Check components are present and secure. Pay special attention to the
belt drive safety guard fitted between the engine and the vibrator unit.

7
2. Check the engine oil level and top up as necessary.
3. Check the engine fuel level and top up as necessary.
4. Check for fuel and oil leaks.
Start And Stop Procedure
Diesel Engine
1. Open the fuel cock.
2. Turn the governor lever to “STARTING” position.
3. Hold the recoil starter handle.
4. Pull the starter handle until you feel the resistance, then return handle
slowly.
5. Press the decompression lever to “Non-compression” position. The lever
will return back automatically after the engine started.
6. Hold the recoil starter handle with two hands and pull it hardly.
7. It is difficult to start the engine at cold weather. Remove the rubber plug on
the cylinder head and fill about 2CC engine oil before starting.
8. Concerning the electric starting engine, open the fuel cock, turn the
governor lever to “starting” position, turn the electric staring key clockwise to
“starting” position, release the electric starting key after the engine is started.
If the engine could not start after the starting motor ran ten seconds, start it
again after 15 seconds. (Run the starting motor for long time will cost the
battery power greatly even burn out the motor.)
9. To stop the engine, set the governor lever to the low speed position, then
run the engine at zero load five minutes.
10. Set the governor lever to the “STOP” position. Do not stop the engine
with the decompression lever.

8
11. Set the fuel cock the “OFF” position.
12. Pull the recoil starter handles slowly, until you feel resistance. (At this
point, the decompression just begins and intake/exhaust valves are both
closed, thus the cylinder can be prevented from rust.)
13. Concerning the electric starting engine, directly turn the starting key to
“CLOSE”position.
●
The machine is best suited to the compaction of bituminous and granular
materials e.g. granular soils such as silt and clay are best compacted
using the impact force produced by a vibrating rammer.
●
Where possible the site should be graded and leveled before
commencing compaction.
●
Correct moisture content in soil is vital to proper compaction. Water acts
as a lubricant to help slide soil particles together. Too little moisture
means inadequate compaction; too much moisture leaves water-filled
voids that weaken the soil’s load-bearing ability.
●
Compaction of dry materials will be facilitated by moistening with a water
hose fitted with a sprinkler.
●
Excessive watering or water content will cause the machine to stall.
●
The optional water tank kit is recommended when the machine is used on
bituminous surfaces as the water film prevents a build up of material on
the underside of the plate.
●
The vibratory motion provides a self propelling action. Position the handle
at the opposite end of the machine to the vibrator.
●
For more information on starting and correct operating procedures of the
motor, refer to the motor operation manual supplied with the unit.
●
Increase the motor speed to the maximum setting using the hand throttle
lever, before commencing compacting.
●
The machine should be controlled by grasping the handle with both
hands and applying restraint to control the forward motion.
●
Steer the machine by moving the handle sideways to the right or left.
●
ALWAYS maintain good footing so that you do not slip and loose control
when starting or operating the machine.
●
If the optional water tank is fitted, the flow rate can be controlled by
adjusting the cock in the supply hose to sprinkler bar.
●
Inspect the water hose and its connections to ensure that they do not
leak.

6. CARE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Check the oil level in the motor crankcase daily.
Inspect the rubber anti vibration mounts for wear or deterioration.
If the optional water tank is fitted inspect the water hose and its
connections to ensure that they do not leak.
Clean the underside of the plate regularly to prevent a build up of
material.
CAUTION:
Inspection and other services should always be carried out on
hard and level ground with the engine shutdown.

CAUTION:
These inspection intervals are for operation under normal conditions.
Adjust your inspection intervals based on the number hours plate
compactor is in use, and particular working conditions.
CAUTION:
Fuel piping and connections should be replaced every 2 years.
Daily Service
Check for leakage of fuel or oil.
Remove soil and clean the bottom of compaction plate.
Check engine oil.
Check for loose screws including tightness. See Table 3 above (tightening
torque), for retightening.
Changing Vibrator Oil
When changing the vibrator oil, remove the drain plug located at the
bottom-right of the vibrator, and simply tip the compactor to drain the oil. Note
that the oil will drain more easily while it is hot.
Air Filter
1. The air filter element should be cleaned because a clogged air cleaner can
cause poor engine starting, lack of power and shorten engine life
substantially.
2. To clean or replace air filter loosen the wing nut on the air filter housing
(Figure 1), remove the cover and take out air filter cartridge. If only cleaning

11
of the air filter is desired blow through the air filter cartridge from the inside,
moving a jet of dry compressed air up and down until all dust is removed.
CAUTION:
NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running.
Severe injury can occur if your hand gets caught between the
V-belt and the clutch. Always use safety gloves.
Checking and Replacing the V-belt and Clutch
After 200 hours of operation, remove the upper belt cover to check the V-belt
tension . Tension is proper if the belt bends about 10mm when depressed
strongly with finger between shafts. Loose or worn V-belts reduces power
transmission efficiency, causing weak compaction and reduces the life of the
belt itself.
CAUTION:
Whenever the compactor’s vibration becomes weak or lost
during normal operation regardless of operation hours, check
the V-belt and clutch immediately.

12
● Replacing the V-belt
Remove the upper and lower belt covers. Engage an offset wrench (13mm)
or the like to vibrator pulley (lower) fastening bolt. Engage waste cloth or the
like at midway of V-belt on the left side and while pulling it back strongly,
rotate the offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt will come off.
● Reinstalling the V-belt
Engage V-belt to lower vibrator pulley and push the V-belt to left side of upper
clutch and, in the same manner as in removal, rotate offset wrench clockwise
so that the V-belt goes back on.
● Checking Clutch
Check the clutch simultaneously with V-belt checking. With belt removed,
check outer drum of the clutch for seizure and “V” groove for wear or damage
with your eyes. Clean the “V” groove as necessary. Wear of lining or shoe
should be checked with running check. If the shoe is worn, power
transmission becomes deficient and slipping will result.
7. TRANSPORTATION
1. Always shut off engine when transporting machine.
2. Make sure lifting device has enough capacity to hold machine (see
identification plate on machine for weight).
3. Use lifting point when lifting machine.
4. Trolley wheel as optional is used for short distance transportation.
