Remove all debris from the plate compactor with a soft
brush, vacuum, or compressed air. Then use a premi-
um quality lightweight machine oil to lubricate all mov-
ing parts. Clean the bottom of the compactor base as
soon as it begins to pick up soil being compacted. The
unit can not do a good job if the bottom surface is not
smooth and clean. Replace spark plug wire.
m Never use a “pressure washer” to clean your
plate compactor. Water can penetrate tight areas
of the unit and cause damage to spindles, pulleys,
bearings, or the engine. The use of pressure wash-
ers will result in shortened life and reduce service-
ability.
Checking and replacing V-belt (g. H + J)
To ensure optimum power transmission from the en-
gine to the eccentric shaft, the V-belt must be in good
condition.

careful not to get your ngers caught between the
belt and pulley.
Exciter oil change (g. K)
The exciter housing is pre-serviced using Automat-
ic Transmission Fluid SAE 10W 30 or its equivalent.
1. Let exciter cool before changing exciter oil.
2. Tilt the plate toward a drain pan to aid in the remov-
al of all used oil and particles.
3. Remove oil drain plug to drain oil from the exciter
assembly. Examine oil for metal chip as a precau-
tion to future problems.
4. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug
and put 60 ml of SAE-30 of high quality engine oil
into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to dis-
tribute the oil. Replace the spark plug.
m Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil
from the cylinder before attempting to start the
unit after storage.

m Do not use strong detergents or petroleum
based cleaners when cleaning plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage plastics.
7. Secure the handle with the lock pin as shown.
8. Store your plate compactor in upright position in a
clean, dry building that has good ventilation.
m Do not store compactor with fuel in a non-ven-
tilated area where fuel fumes may reach ame,
sparks, pilot lights or any ignition sources. Use
only approved fuel containers.
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and
frost-proof place that is inaccessible to children.
The optimum storage temperature is between 5 and
Store the tool in its original packaging.

m ATTENTION!
Always shut the engine down and remove the spark
plug connector before carrying out any maintenance
work.
Maintaining your compactor will insure long life to the
machine and its components.
