INTRODUCTION .
Thank you for your selection of our equipment.
We have taken care in the design, manufacture and testing of this product. Should service or spare parts be
required, prompt and efficient service is available from our branches.
General Safety instructions for the Operation of Power Equipment Our factory’s goal is to produce power
equipment that helps the operator work safely and efficiently. The most important safety device for this or
any tool is the operator. Care and good judgement are the best protection against injury. All possible
hazards cannot be covered here, but we have tried to highlight some of the important items, individuals
should look for and obey Caution, Warning and Danger signs placed on equipment, and displayed in the
workplace. Operators should read and follow safety instructions packed with each product.
Learn how each machine works. Even if you have previously used similar machines, carefully check out
each machine before you use it .Get the “feel” of it and know its capabilities, limitations, potential hazards,
how it operates, and how it stops. We has no duty if person don’t operate as instruction said.
APPLICATIONS
Plate compactor is the machine that compacts the ground and it intends to make the surface smooth, by
transmitting vibration through vibrating plate, which power generated from single motor in vibrator case
This machine is suitable for making the ground surface smooth, such as leveling the soil and beaching,
finishing the asphalt paving. Applications as followings:
Trenchcompaction Earthworks
Road maintenance Landscaping
Brickpaving Driveway toppings
! Warning for incorrect application and abuse
This machine is hard to move forward on a soil with much water (especially clay soil).It is not suitable for
such application. This machine is difficult to level a ground include big stones due to insufficient
compacting force. Plate compactor is mainly applied for compacting surface smooth and it is nor effective
for jobs that requires heavy compaction. In case of compacting ground deeply into lower layer, it is

recommended to use. Tamping Rammer, Vibro Compactor and Vibration Roller which compacting force is
rather effective.Please use this compactor for compacting surface on soil, sediment, sand , beaching and
asphalt. It is not recommended for use this machine for the other applications.
STRUCTURE
The upper part is made up of Power Source, Handle ,Belt Cover and Guard Hook which are fixed by
Engine base. The Engine base is fixed on Vibrating Plate by Shock Absorbing Ruber.The lower part is
made up of Vibrating Plate and Vibrator unit that has an Eccentric rotary shaft built in. The power source
is transmitted from the centrifugal clutch on engine output shaft to the eccentric rotary shaft via V-belt.
Power Transfer
Air-cooled Single cylinder Engine is amounted as power source and Centrifugal Clutch is fixed on engine
output shaft. Petrol Engine(2 cycle, 4 cycle) and Diesel Gasoline Engine can be mounted as option.
Centrifugal Clutch engages by running up the engine and engine is reduced o suitable number for
compacting. The rotation of engine is transmitted from V-pulley integrated with Clutch drum to Vibrator
pulley through V-belt. Vibrator Pulley rotates Eccentric rotor shaft that is contained in Vibrator case. The
generated vibration created from eccentric rotor is transmitted to Compaction with the weight of the
machine makes the compaction of the ground possible.
FUNCTIONS AND CONTROLS
Motor
The motor is controlled by an ON/OFF switch or push button which is mounted on the motor below the
fuel tank.
The motor speed is controlled by a remote throttle lever which is mounted on the machine handle.
Honda and Kama motors are fitted with an oil alert device which will stop the motor or prevent starting
when the crankcase oil level falls below a safe level
Drive belt
Tension of the drive belt is adjustable. Loosen the four nuts on the bolts which secure the motor to the
baseplate, 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 locknuts are tightened after adjustment.
ACCESSORIES
Thansport Trolley-facilitates handling. Hooks into the baseplate. Fitted with 200mm rubber tyres.

not tip over, slide or fall while in operation or unatrttended.
DO NOT leave the machine in operation while it is unattended.
ENSURE that the walls of a trench are stable and will not collapse due to the action of the vibration ,prior
to commencing compaction.
ENSURE that the area to be compacted does not contain any “live” electrical cables, gas, water or
communication services which may be damaged by the action of the vibration.
EXERCISE CARE when operating unit. Exposure to vibration or repetitive work actions may be harmful
to hands and arms.
NEVER stand on the unit while it is operating.
