As the sound pressure level at the operator’s ears
exceeds
80 dB (A), ear protectors must be used during opera-
tion!
Hand/arm vibrations
The vibration acceleration was measured in accordance
with the ISO 5349 standard during operation on a
graveled surface. The measurement values were
translated into the maximum daily exposure time
for regular usage. For additional information about
vibrations, please confer the regulation AFS 2005:15
from the Swedish Work Environment Authority,
effective July 1st 2005.
Measurement uncertainty ± 0.3 m/s2 in 95% of the
measurements.
Exhaust emissions

TECHNICAL DATA FUNCTION
The machine consists of a base plate with a vibration element
and an upper part cushioned from the base plate.
The upper part include even carrying handle. The lifting eye
include even an water tank bracket.
The power is transmitted from the petrol engine to the vibration
element via a V-belt. To adjust the V-belt loosen the four screws
which holds the upper part to the base plate and pull whole the
upper part backward to the operator.
The engine is tted with an integrated centrifugal clutch. On
account of the direction of rotation and the position of the
vibration element at the front end of the base plate, the
vibrator moves forward under its own power.
The machine’s vibration element stops when the throttle is
switched to idle.
Work with the machine in daylight or other adequate lighting.
All other use is discouraged.
Transport wheels are accessories.

DAILY CHECKS
Fuel Check
Check that there is fuel in the tank. Top up if necessary.
Engine Oil Level Check
Check the oil level in the crankcase every day. The oil
must reach the edge of the lling hole when the machine is
on a level surface.
Air Filter Check
The air lter must be checked at least once every working week.
When working in dusty conditions, check daily.
1. Paper element
2. Foam plastic element
Cleaning the air lter
1. Remove the foam plastic element and the
paper element and check that they are
undamaged. Replace damaged parts.
2. Wash the foam plastic element in liquid with
a high ashpoint and let it dry properly. Dip in
engine oil and squeeze dry.
3. Strike the paper element against a hard object
a few times to loosen any dirt.
Oil/Fuel Leakage
Check every day that the engine is not leaking oil
or fuel. If a leak is discovered, the machine may
not be operated until the fault has been remedied.
See also the separate engine instructions!
V-belt Drive
Check the tension and condition of the V-belt regularly.
Adjustment of V-belt tension
Loosen the screws (pos 1) that hold the engine plate.
Loosen the screws (pos 2) holding the cover.
Remove the cover.
Tension the V-belt by pulling the handle on the side of the
engine plate.
Tighten the screws.
Ret the cover.
Rubber Dampers
Check the condition of the rubber dampers (pos 3)
regularly. Replace damaged dampers.
Polyuretan Pad
A polyuretan pad is used for stone paving work to protect
against stones and ground clinker.
