3.6 Operation
• Set the speed lever (1) in full load direction.
• Adjust the drive direction and speed at the drive lever (2).
• Guide and steer the machine at the tow bar; the operator
should go alongside the tow bar.
To avoid coupling damages, take care that the mo-
tor speed of the machines with centrifugal
clutches are clearly above or resp. below the start-
ing speed (about 1200 rpm).
The motor has to cut-off by long working breaks;
long idle-runnings can take to great motor dam-
ages.
For compaction of paving stones, it is recommended
to use Vulkollan plates and protective brackets (spe-
cial accessories) to prevent damages to the compac-
tion material and to the machine.
If the machine is used without protective bracket, the
threaded fastenings in the base plate must be sealed
with the supplied screw plugs .

Under adverse conditions start-up of the exciter may
be impeded. Then the engine cannot reach its nominal
RPM. This can be remedied by activating the drive le
-
ver (2) several times.
