2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. This ensures no fuel is left in the
carburetor. This helps prevent deposits from forming inside the carburetor and possible
engine damage.
3. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of the
grade recommended in the engine manual.
4. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 60 ml of high quality SAE-30
motor oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Replace the spark
plug.
Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder before attempting
to start the unit after storage.
5. Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the compactor and to keep the air vents free
of obstructions.
Do not use strong detergents or petroleum based cleaners when cleaning plastic
parts. Chemicals can damage plastics.
6. Pull up the spring bolt and fold up the wheels bracket.
7. Carefully fold the upper handle down. Do not allow control cables to become pinched or
bent.
8. Store your plate compactor in upright position in a clean, dark, dry and frost-proof place
that has good ventilation and is inaccessible to children.
