3. On model MSW-RPLAT25, use the direction lever
on the handle of the device to change compacting
direction. (Fig. 13)

Driving the device:
1. Control the device forwards (forward and backward
– MSW-RPLAT25) by gripping the handle with both
hands and pushing the device along the ground.
Driving sideways: move the handle to the right or
left.
2. MSW-RPLAT25: If there is a problem with forward or
backward movement, adjust the feed rate using the
direction lever.
Turning the device off:
1. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN – turn ON/OFF switch to
"OFF" position (15).
2. REGULAR SHUTDOWN – move the speed control
lever to the low speed position (turtle) (14) for 3-5
minutes. When the engine is cold, turn the ON/OFF
switch to the "OFF" position (15) and close the valve
to shut off the fuel – "0" position (16).

Operation guidelines:
• If the engine stops and will not restart, check the
engine oil level.
• When using the device to level stone pavers, place
a rubber mat on the vibrating plate.
• Where possible, the space to be compacted should
be graded and aligned beforehand.
• Use unleaded petrol as fuel. Make sure that the fuel
is free from impurities before use.
• When compacting asphalt surfaces, paint the bottom
surface of the vibrating plate with diesel fuel. This will
help prevent the slab from sticking to the asphalt.
• The vibrating motion ensures a self-propelling effect.
The handle of the device should be placed on the
opposite side of the vibrating unit (vibrator).
• Before beginning compacting, move the speed control
lever on the handle to the maximum position (ON).
• Caution! When turning the device off, do not move
the speed control lever slowly (from HIGH (rabbit) to
LOW (turtle)), the movement must be vigorous.
• Always maintain a stable posture to avoid slipping
and losing control while starting or operating the
machine.

3.3. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

a) After cleaning the device, all parts should be dried
completely before using it again.
b) Store the unit in a dry, cool place, free from moisture
and direct exposure to sunlight.
c) Do not spray the device with a water jet or submerge
it in water.
d) Do not allow water to get inside the device through
vents in the housing of the device.
e) Clean the vents with a brush and compressed air.
f) The device must be regularly inspected to check its
technical efficiency and spot any damage.
g) Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
h) To minimise wear and tear on the equipment, change
oil regularly.
i) Check the tension and wear of the V-belt regularly.
Adjust or change it whenever necessary.
j) Check, clean and/or change the engine air filter
regularly, especially when working in dusty
environments.
k) Check, clean and/or change the spark plug regularly.
l) Check that all mounting elements are properly
installed because the machine is exposed to
vibrations.
m) When storing the machine for a longer period of
time after operation:
• carefully remove fuel from the fuel line, tank and
carburettor.
• after removing the spark plug, pour a few drops of
an engine oil into the cylinder. Manually turn the
engine a few times to make sure that the inside of
the cylinder has been covered with the oil.
n) Clean the outside of the device with a damp cloth.
Store the covered unit in a dry place.

Periodic testing and servicing:
1. Daily:
A. Remove contaminants from the device, e.g.
mud, dirt, etc.
B. Clean the bottom of the vibrating plate to
prevent the accumulation of dirt.
C. Check the air filter, clean or change it when
necessary.
D. Check if all nuts and bolts are properly mounted
and tighten if necessary.
E. Check the level of the engine oil and top it up.
F. Check the rubber anti-vibrating mountings for
wear or damage, replace them if necessary.
2. Once a week:
A. Check the oil level in the vibrating unit
(vibrator). Change it if necessary.
• Place the device horizontally on a flat surface.
Make sure that the device is level when
checking the oil level.
B. Check and clean the air filter (Fig. 17): dirty
elements of the filter may cause starting
difficulties, loss of power, engine malfunction
and will significantly shorten the life of the
engine. Keep the air filter clean.
• Urethane foam (D):
XVII
Take the foam out and wash
in paraffin. Then, saturate
the foam with a mixture of
3/4 parts paraffin and 1/4
parts engine oil. Take the
element out to remove the
mixture. Put the foam back
D
in the filter.
• Double-coated urethane
E
foam (E):
Take the foam out and wash
in paraffin. Then, saturate the
foam with a mixture of 3/4
parts paraffin and 1/4 parts
engine oil. Take the element
out to remove the mixture.
Shake excess oil out.
C. Take the spark plug out, clean and adjust the
clearance of the spark plug to 0.6-0.7 mm
(0.02-0.03 inch). Change the plug spark plug if
necessary (Fig. 18).
XVIII
0.6~0.7 mm
0.02~0.03 in.
D. Drain the engine oil and replace it with new oil
(Fig. 19).
CAUTION! When the engine is new, make
the first oil change after 20 hours of device
operation and top up oil tank before restarting.

3. Once a month:
A. Change the oil in the vibrating assembly (F)
• Unscrew the drain plug (G) and tilt the device
to drive the oil off (Fig. 10). Remember that it is
easier to drain the oil when it is warm.
