5. Taking a rm hold of the control handle with one hand,grasp the recoil starter handle with the other. Pull
the recoil starter until engine esistance is felt, then let starter return.
6. Taking care not to pull the starter’s cope fully out, pull the starter handle briskly.
7. Repeat until the engine res.
8. Once the engine res gradually,set the choke lever to the OFF position by moving it to the right.
9. If the engine fails to re after several attempts follow the trouble-shooting guide on page 5. TO stop the
engine,set the throttle to idle and turn the engine ON/OFF switch counter-clockwise to the “0” position.
10. To stop the engine，set the throttle to idle and turn the engine ON/OFF switch anticlockwise to the “0”
position.
11. Turn the fuel off
The machine is best suited to the compaction of bituminous and granular materials e.g. granular soils such
as silt and clay are best compacted using the impact force produced by a vibrating rammer. Where possible
the site should be graded and leveled before commencing compaction.
Correct moisture content in soil is vital to proper compaction. Water acts as a lubricant to help slide soil
particles together. Too little moisture means inadequate compaction; too much moisture leaves water-lled
voids that weakn the soil’s load-bearing ability. Compaction of dry materials will be facilitated by moistening
with a water hose tted with a sprinkler.
Excessive watering or water content will cause the machine to stall. The optional water tank kit is recommended
when the machine is used on bituminous surfaces as the water lm prevents a build up of material on the
underside of the plate. Use unleaded grade petrol and ensure that the fuel is free from contamination. The
vibratory motion provides a self propelling action. Position the handle at the opposite end of the machine to
the vibrator.
Increase the motor speed to the maximum setting using the hand throttle lever, before commencing
compacting. The machine should be controlled by grasping the handle with both hands and applying restraint
to control the forward motion. Steer the machine by moving the handle sideways to the right or left.
ALWAYS maintain good footing so that you do not slip and loose control when starting or operating the
machine. If the optional water tank is tted，the ow rate can be controlled by adjusting the cock in the
supply hose to the sprinkler bar.
