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.
2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
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.

Engine serial number
- Continually check that the engine leaks or a vibrator oil. In case of failure to contact an authorized
service center or manufacturer.
- Bolted joints are glued to rubber mount. We therefore recommend against any potential activity
associated with the tightening and loosening of joints and contact information to an authorized service or
the manufacturer.
3. PRIOR TO STARTING
Check the oil level every day!
Use only the recommended types of oil. Choose the oil viscosity to match the thermal conditions of space
use.
3.1. Inspection of engine oil level
ATTENTION:
Running the engine with insufficient oil level can result in serious engine damage.
In case of oil leakage from the engine immediately stop the operation of the machine and call service or
contact the manufacturer.
Checking the oil level must be in accordance with the instructions for operating the engine!
Place the machine into a horizontal position. Before you unscrew the plug from the control / filler on the
engine, so carefully clean the area to prevent degradation of oil contamination and subsequent engine
damage. With proper oil level is level with the hole at the same time, oil is leaking slightly.

Inspect the machine regularly, with particular attention to:
3.2. Visual inspection of the machine
•completeness of the machine (missing parts);
•condition of the protective devices (covers) and controls;
•bolter connections;
•fuel or oil leakage;
•intactness of rubber mounts.
For gasoline engines use gasoline for motor vehicles with an octane rating of 90 or more.
3.3. Inspection of fuel level
We recommend that petrol NATURAL 95.
At low levels of fuel is the fuel necessary to fill up the edge of the filtered water.
Never use dirty gasoline or mixture with oil. Prevent dust, dirt or water from entering into the tank.
This activity is performed in accordance with the instructions for operating the engine!
3.4. Inspection o air filter
Place the machine into a horizontal position.
Paper cartridge air filter, check to make sure that it is clean and in good condition.
Paper filter cartridge carefully clean with compressed air from the inside out. In the case of significant
pollution filter paper cartridge change.
Wash the foam cuff Jarov water, not flammable! In case of damage replace the foam cuff.

Starting and stopping the engine is described in detail in the attached instruction manual Honda
engine.
Run the machine across the area to be compacted, keeping slightly overlapping lanes. For good
compaction, it is recommended to do 4 travels in each lane.
4.2. Operating the machine
For soil compaction, the best results will be reached when compacting by layers, each layer not thicker
than 20-30 cm of loose soil, depending on the type of soil.
Approximate compaction effect for compaction to 90% (95%) of Proctor Standard is shown in the
following table. For exact control of the degree of compaction, some method of compaction measurement
must be used.
TAB. Compaction effect
This table is valid for sand and gravel, considering 4
passes. For mixed soils derate by approx. 30%.
4.3. Turning the engine OFF
1. Set up the throttle control leer into the idle position. The centrifugal clutch gets disengaged and
vibration will stop.

When handling the machine and its transport strictly follow the safety instructions in this manual, as well
as generally applicable transcripts to work with handling equipment or lifting equipment.
4.4. Handling, transport, storage
4.4.1. Manual handling
When manual handling is usually needed to co-parties in order to comply with the maximum load weight,
which the worker may lift. Lift the machine frame for or. the grips. Do not lift the machine engine!
4.4.2. Handling by crane
The machine is allowed to handle and transport the equipment only with adequate capacity (weight
machines is given in chapter "Technical Specifications").
When loading crane must comply with applicable regulations to work with the crane. This activity may
be performed only by qualified person (s) with valid card.
Binding means fix it in the space frame of the machine.

4.4.3. Handling by forklift
If the machine is often handled with a forklift (for example when sending collection service), we attach a
variety of machine and send it together with a variety. For one machine is suitable for "small" range of
dimensions 0.8 x 0.6 m, two machines for a variety of standard EUR 1.2 x 0.8 m.
4.4.4. Transport
When transporting the machine must be adequately secured against overturning, falling or shifting to the
base.
The machine must be transported in an upright position.
4.4.5. Storage
Store the machine in place secured against theft and misuse. We recommend a dry sheltered place does
not affect the chemical substances and where there is excessive dust.
Before long-term storage engine first clean, repair the damaged areas and preserve the paint (including
the preservation of the motor). Clearly label the machine is conserved.
4.5. Special conditions of operation
Compaction at temperature below freezing is highly dependent on water content in the soil to be
compacted. Under such conditions, soil becomes harder and more difficult to compact. It is possible to
compact dry materials or rapidly compact fresh soil, before it gets frozen.
4.5.1. Operation at low ambient temperature
With increasing altitude, engine power decreases due to changed oxygen content. Within certain extent,
it is possible to improve the engine power by installing different main nozzle and by adjusting the
carburetor (gasoline engines) or by adjusting the injection system (diesel engines). Should the machine
be operated in high altitudes (above 1500 m above sea level), contact the engine manufacturer to carry
out the adjustments.
4.5.2. Operation at high altitudes
In case that you intent to operate the machine in high altitudes in the time of purchase, consult the
manufacturer.
In case that the machine is operated in extremely dusty environment, it is recommended to shorten the
service intervals for cleaning or replacement of the air filter.
4.5.3. Operation in Dusty Environment
Clean the machine from dust regularly.
Basic maintenance as described in this Operation Manual can be carried out by the operator. Repairs and
adjustments beyond the extent of this Manual should be done by an authorized service center.
5. MAINTENANCE
In the warranty period it is strictly prohibited to dismantle the vibrator; such repair can be done
exclusively by an authorized service center. Further, no interventions into engine except of the prescribed
maintenance are allowed in the warranty period.
Bolts of the rubber mounts are secured with a glue. Therefore it is highly recommended to contact
authorized service before dismantling or mounting the rubber mounts.
