OPERATION
Pre-start-up inspection
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.. If any fault is discovered, the compactor must not be used until the fault is rectified.
Thoroughly inspect the compactor for signs of damage. Check components are present and secure. Pay special attention
to the belt drive safety guard fitted between the engine and the vibrator unit.
2. Check the engine oil level and top up as necessary.
3. Check the engine fuel level and top up as necessary.
4. Check for fuel and oil leaks
Start and stop Procedure
Diesel Engine
1. Open the fuel cock.
2. Turn the governor lever to “STARTING”
position.
3. Hold the recoil starter handle.
4. Pull the starter handle until you feel the
resistance, then return handle slowly.
5. Press the decompression lever to
“Non-compression” position. The lever will
return back automatically after the engine started.
6. Hold the recoil starter handle with two hands and pull it hardly.
7. It is difficult to start the engine at cold weather. Remove the rubber plug on the cylinder head and fill about 2CC engine
oil before starting.
8. Concerning the electric starting engine, open the fuel cock, turn the governor lever to “starting” position, turn the
electric staring key clockwise to “starting” position, release the electric starting key after the engine is started. If the
engine could not start after the starting motor ran ten seconds, start it again after 15 seconds.(Run the starting motor
for long time will cost the battery power greatly even burn out the motor.)
9. To stop the engine, set the governor lever to the low speed position, then run the engine at zero load five minutes.
10. Set the governor lever to the “STOP” position. Do not stop the engine with the decompression lever.
11. Set the fuel cock the “OFF” position.
12. Pull the recoil starter handles slowly, until you feel resistance. (At this point, the decompression just begins and
intake/exhaust valves are both closed, thus the cylinder can be prevented from rust.)
13. Concerning the electric starting engine, directly turn the starting key to “CLOSE” position.
Petrol Engine
1. Open the fuel tap by moving the fuel ON/OFF lever fully to the right.
2. If starting the engine from cold, set the choke ON by moving the choke lever fully to the left. If restarting a warm
engine, the choke is usually not required. However, if the engine has cooled to a degree, partial choke may be
required.
3. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch clockwise to the “1” position.
4. Set the throttle to the idle position by moving the throttle lever fully to the right.
Do not start the engine on full throttle, as the compactor will vibrate as soon as
the engine starts.
5. Taking a firm hold of the control handle with one hand, grasp the recoil starter
handle with the other. Pull the recoil starter until engine resistance is felt, then
let starter return.
