Pre-Start Checks
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. Please refer to the service & maintenance section
for detailed guidance. If any fault is discovered, the Plate Compactor must not be used until the
fault is rectified.
1. Thoroughly inspect the machine for signs of damage. Make sure all guards are in placed and
secured.
2. Check hoses, filler openings, drain plugs and any other areas for signs of leakage. Fix any
leaks before operating.
3. Check the engine oil level and top up as necessary. Use proper engine oil with the proper
viscosity (SAE 10W-30 recommended).
4. Check the engine fuel level and top up as necessary. Use clean fuel. Use of contaminated
fuel may damage the fuel system.
5. Check the air filter is clean. Excessive dirt/dust accumulation within the filter element will
cause erratic engine operation. Clean the air filter element when it is contaminated. (See
Service & Maintenance Section).
6. Check for fuel and oil leaks.
Start and Stop Procedure
Before starting the engine, make sure that the Safety Switch is in ON position, Throttle
Lever is set to idle position.
1. Take the Reversible Compactor to where it is required. Use suitable lifting equipment to
position the Reversible Compactor where it is necessary. Make sure the lifting
equipment has a WLL (Working Load Limit) suitable for the Reversible Compactor
weight. Attach suitable slings or chains only to the lifting point.
2. Never leave the engine running during transporting, even if it is for a short period of
time.
3. Having carried out the checks listed in the ‘pre-start’ section, you may start the engine.
Paclite Plate Compactors are fitted with a centrifugal clutch which allows the engine to
run at idle speed without driving the Plate Compactor. The Centrifugal clutch will be
engaged as the speed of engine is increased. For correct operation, the engine speed
should be set to maximum.
Improper operation can be hazardous. Read and understand this section
before you start the machine.
CAUTION

Reversible Compactor (2011 Version)

Before Starting Gasoline Engine
1. Check the oil in the engine crankcase. Be sure to maintain the proper level per the
engine manufacturer specifications. If the oil is dirty and in need of changing, follow the
Engine User Manual instructions.
2. Check the fuel supply. Refer to Engine User Manual.
Operation
1. Run the engine at full throttle and allow the Reversible Compactor to pull itself along at its
normal speed.
2. When operating on an incline it may be necessary to assist the Reversible Compactor by
pushing it forward slightly.
3. When operating downhill hold the Reversible Compactor back slightly, if it begins to pick up
speed.
4. Depending on the material being compacted, 3 or 4 passes are recommended to achieve
the best compaction.
5. While a certain amount of moisture in the soil is necessary, excessive moisture may cause
soil particles to stick together and prevent good compaction.
6. If soil is extremely wet, allow it to dry somewhat before compacting.
7. If soil is so dry as to create dust clouds while operating Reversible Compactor, some
moisture should be added to the ground material to improve compaction. This will also
reduce service to the air filter.
8. When using the Reversible Compactor on paving stones, attach a pad to the bottom of the
plate to prevent chipping or grinding surface of stones.
Maximum Admissible Inclination
Do not operate the Reversible Compactor on concrete or on extremely hard,
dry, compacted surfaces. The plate will jump rather than vibrate and could
damage both the plate and the engine.
CAUTION

8
Regarding Speed and Direction
The plate compactor has a hydraulic system which enables a gradual increase in speed. The
direction of travel is determined by the control on the guide pole.
Application
This Reversible Plate Compactor is designed for compacting loose, granular soils, gravel, paving
stones and asphalt. It is intended to be used in confined areas and areas next to structures such
as walls, curbs, and foundations. Reversible Compactors with water tanks can be used for
compacting asphalt.
This Reversible PlateCompactor is not recommended for compacting cohesive soils with heavy
clay content. For cohesive soil, use a Vibratory Rammer.
