1.1.4. Machine Operation
When working with the machine operator must observe the following guidelines:
1. Check the machine, especially all its protective elements (e.g. covers) and controls. Make sure
that there are no leaks of fuel from the fuel system or oil from the engine. Should a defect is
found, the machine must not be operated until the defect is repaired.
2. Use personal protective means (such as the respective crash helmet, ear protectors, protective
goggles, gloves, shoes). The protective clothing should be close-fitting, not loose. Loose or
damaged (torn) clothing should not be used. Any chains, watches, rings, etc. should not be worn
as they can be caught by rotating parts of the machine and injure the operator.
3. Before work, check whether the machine can be safely started up without endangering the
operating staff or other persons nearby.
4. Do not start up the engine in closed spaces unless sufficient ventilation is provided.
5. Pay full attention to the machine operation to prevent injury or collision with solid obstacles,
other machines or vehicles.
6. Listen the run of the machine carefully. In case of unusual sounds or if smoke appears, stop the
machine immediately check the machine and get it repaired.
7. Fill the machine with fuel only at standstill. The fuel must not come into contact with hot parts of
the machine. If the fuel is spilled over, wipe up the fuel immediately. Do not fill the tank up to
the neck.
8. See to it that that the fuel tank cap is tight. If not in operation, the fuel valve should be closed. If
the machine is transported for a longer distance the fuel tank should be emptied.
CAUTION –broken or leaking fuel tanks and fuel piping can cause explosion, it is necessary to
replace them without delay.
9. The machine should not be operated everywhere where there is danger of explosion of
combustible gases or dust.
10. When operating the machine in closed spaces (tunnels, shafts, deep holes, etc.), the operator
should be provided with fresh air supply (see the applicable regulations for constructional work).
11. After the work is finished, stop the engine, put the machine in a safe place, secure it against theft
or unauthorized use. The machine should be stored in such a manner that it cannot fall down or
overturn and that it is not an obstacle to other machines and vehicles.
1.1.5. Inspections, Maintenance & Repairs
1. Check the technical condition of the machine regularly and focus on perfect functioning of
protective and control elements. If a defect is found, have it repaired without delay.
2. Machine servicing may only be carried out by a duly qualified person authorized by the
contractor. Machine servicing can also be carried out by the worker of the respective service
organization.
3. The machine should be serviced in a clean and safe place. If possible, service the machine in a
workshop with the adequate equipment. If it is necessary to service the machine in-situ, the place
should be secured in such a manner that any collision with other machines or vehicles is
eliminated. The machine should not be serviced in otherwise dangerous places (landslides, cave-
ins, operation of other machines and vehicles etc.).
4. Service the machine at standstill with the engine off only. If there is a need for starting up the
engine when servicing the machine, pay full attention to labour safety.
5. When repairing the machine, use the original spare parts only. Only original spare parts (that

2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Vibratory plates are designed for compaction of all types of soils, including soil related sections for
compaction of trenches and areas - the machine without sprinkling. Machines are also designed for
compacting asphalt surfaces –the machine with sprinkling. When used with a plastic backing plate
vibration can also be used for ground paving.
These vibratory plates have optimized centrifugal force and compaction area and thus reach optimal
compaction effect. The vibratory effect is ensured by non-directed eccentric which creates circular
vibration. The main working part - the base plate - is a structure made of welded steel. The vibrator is
bolted or welded to the base plate. The engine plate is mounted to the base plate through the rubber
mounts. The vibratory plate is driven by a four-stroke single-cylinder air cooled engine. The engine is
connected with the vibrator by a drive belt, with a centrifugal clutch which disengages the drive at idle
speed.
The operator controls the machine using its handle.
Special equipment to transport the chassis vibration plates, plastic mat compaction paving and operating
hours counter.
2.1. Basic technical data:
Vibration plates are characterized by one-way design with a comfortable cushioned handle and folding
ROPS, which protects the engine from damage and ease of handling.
