equipment. Equipment operated improperly or by untrained personnel
can be dangerous﹗Read the operating instructions contained in both
this manual and the engine manual and familiarize you with the location
and proper use of all controls.
WARNING
NEVER allow improperly trained people to operate this equipment.
People operating this equipment must be familiar with the potential risks
and hazards associated with it.
NEVER touch engine or muffler while forward plate is operating or
immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and may
cause burns.
NEVER use accessories or attachments, which are not recommended
for this equipment. Damage to equipment and/or injury to user may
result.
NEVER operate machine with the belt guard missing. Exposed drive
belt and pulleys create potentially dangerous hazards that can cause
serious injuries.

OPERATION
Set-up the engine and operate the plate at a fully speed. Operator
need push the plate gently when it compact on a slope. According to
different kinds of soil, operator has to compact 3 times or 4 times to
achieve the highest compaction performance.
Be sure soil moisture is suitable, for too wet or too dry soil will reduce
compaction performance.
Compacting adsphaltum need open the water tank. The plate could
achieve better compaction performance by 2 times or 3 times work.
Notice! Never operate the plate on the concrete ground or some thing
like this.
LUBRICATION
1. Engine oil lever check
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
1. Remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the filler
neck. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.
3. If the oil level is low, fill to the edge of the oil filler hole with the
recommended oil.
4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.

2. Engine oil change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the filler cap/dipstick, drain plug, and washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain plug,
washer, and tighten drain plug securely.
Notice! Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for reclamation.
Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or down a drain.
3. With the engine in a level position, fill to the outer edge of the oil
filler hole with the recommended oil.
Notice! Running the engine in a low oil level can cause engine damage.
4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.

CARBURETTOR ADJUSTMENT
1. Start the engine outdoors, and allow it to warm up to operating
temperature.
2. With the engine idling, turn the highest idle rpm screw in or out to the
setting that produces the highest idle rpm.
3. Turn the throttle stop screw to obtain the standard idle speed.
Caution: Do not tighten the highest idle rpm screw against its seat as
this will damage the highest idle rpm screw or seat. After the highest
idle rpm screw is correctly adjusted, turn the throttle stop screw to
obtain the standard idle speed.
Standard idle speed: 1400 ± 150 r/min
Max. engine idle speed: 3600±100l r/min

SPARK PLUGS
Recommended spark plugs: BPR6ES (NGK). For good performance,
the spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits.
Notice! An incorrect spark plug can cause engine damage.
a. Disconnect the spark plug cap, and remove any dirt from around the
spark plug area.
b. Remove the spark plug with a 13/16-inch spark plug wrench.
c. Inspect the spark plug. Replace it if the electrodes are worn heavy
carbon buildup is found, or if the insulator is cracked or chipped.
d. Measure the spark plug electrode gap with a suitable gauge. The
gap should be 0.028-0.031 in (0.70 - 0.80 mm). Correct the gap, if
necessary, by carefully bending the side electrode.
e. Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition. Install the
spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
f. After the spark plug seats, tighten with a 13/16-inch spark plug
wrench to compress the sealing washer.
g. When installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark
plug seats to compress the washer.
h. After the spark plug seats, tighten with a 13/16-inch spark plug
wrench to compress the sealing washer. If reinstalling the used spark
plug, tighten 1/8 - 1/4 turn after the spark plug seats. If installing a new
spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug seats.
i. Attach the spark plug cap.
NOTICE! The recommended spark plug has the correct heat range for
normal engine operating temperatures. A loose spark plug can overheat
and damage the engine. Over tightening the spark plug can damage the
threads in the cylinder head.

AIR FILTER SERVICE
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance. If you operate the engine in very dust areas, clean the air
filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
WARNING! Never use gasoline or low flammable point solvents for
cleaning the air cleaner element. A fire or explosion could result.
NOTICE! Operating the engine without an air filter element, or with a
damaged air filter element, will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing
rapid engine wear.
1. Remove the wing nut from the air cleaner cover, and remove the
cover.
2. Remove the wing nut from the air filter, and remove the filter.
3. Remove the foam air filter element
from the paper filter.
4. Inspect both air filter elements, and
replace them if they are damage.
5. Paper air filter element: Tap the filter
element lightly several times on a hard
surface to remove excess dirt, or blow
compressed air through the filter element
from the inside out. Never try to brush the
dirt off; brushing will force dirt into the
fibers.
6. Foam air filter element: Clean in warm
soapy water, rinse, and allow to drying
thoroughly. Or clean in nonflammable
solvent and allow to drying. Dip the filter

element in clean engine oil, and then squeeze out all excess oil. The
engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left in the foam.
ADJUST BELT
A new machine or a new belt should be check after 20 hours use, and
then check the belt every 50 hours. The processes as follow:
1. Remove two bolts (a) on the belt guard and remove the belt guard.
2. Remove four bolts (b) which they are fixed engine.
3. A forward movement engine will loose the belt and backward
movement engine will tight the belt.
4. Put hand on the middle of the belt, press the belt 10-13mm deep (d).
5. Tight all bolts to 20.5Nm.
ECCENTRIC SHAFT LUBRICATE
The bearing of eccentric shaft is at high working speed with splash
lubrication.
Notice! Correct oil level and periodic maintenance are very important.
Check the oil level by every 50 hours. Put the plate on the level
ground, remove the drain bolt (a) and seal (b). Fill oil when it needed.
Every 300 hours change the eccentric
shaft oil: Remove the bolt (a), slant the
plate and drain the oil.
Notice! For the environment protection,
please collect the used lubrication in the
container. Fill 240ml oil in it.
Notice! Much more oil is forbidden
which will low the efficiency and
damage the belt.

CLEAN THE PLATE BASE
Clean up the base. If the engine working on a nasty environment,
Clean up the dust in the cylinder, cylinder head radiator fin, flywheel,
covers, revolves the strainer and the silencer region.
SOUND SPECIFICATIONS
The required sound specifications, called-for by the EC-Machine
Regulations per appendix 1, paragraph 1.74f.
—Sound pressure level at the operator’s location LPA=96dB (A)
—Sound power (LWA)=102Db (A)
The sound values were determined according to ISO 3744 for the
sound power level (LWA) and alternately, ISO 6081 for the sound
pressure level (LPA) at the operator’s location.
The weighted effective value of acceleration, determined according to
ISO8662, Part 1, is 3,5m/s2.
The noise and vibration data were determined while the machine was
cutting concrete at a depth of 30mmwith the engine running at nominal
speed.
STORAGE
If plate would be storage over 30 days:
1. Clean up the dust on the plate base.
2. Clean up the engine parts.
3. Clean and change air cleaner.
