INSPECTION

BEFORE STARTING

1. Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual.

2. Clean the compactor, removing dirt and dust.

Particularly, the bottom of the plate, engine cooling air

inlet, carburetor and air cleaner.

3. Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If the air filter is

dirty, blow through the air filter cartridge from the inside,

moving a jet of dry compressed air up and down until

all dust is removed. Otherwise replace air filter with a

new one.

4. Check carburetor for external dirt and dust. Clean with

dry compressed air.

5. Check fastening nuts and bolts for tightness. Loosened

screws or bolts due to vibration, could lead to

unexpected accident.

ENGINE OIL CHECK

1. To check the engine oil level, place the plate compactor

on secure level ground with the engine stopped.

2. Remove the filler cap/dipstick from the engine oil filler

hole (Figure 4) and wipe it clean.

3. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into

the filler neck. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.

4. If the oil level is low (Figure 5), fill to the edge of the oil

filler hole with the recommended oil type (Table 4).

Maximum oil capacity is 0.63 quart.

2. Check vibrator oil level by removing bolt (vibrator oil

gauge) as shown in Figure 6. Use a 14-mm wrench to

remove bolt. The vibrator oil level should be maintained

between the two markings as shown in Figure 6. If oil

is required, replace using SAE 10W-30.
