4. Stones/Broken Concrete – Remove large stones or chunks
of concrete as the compactor does not break these apart.
Larger stones and broken concrete may not compact as
much as expected. Compaction is more effective with
smaller objects.
5. Obstacles – A work site may have natural obstacles
(stump, buried stones) or manmade obstacles
(construction waste, power cords or hoses) that
will interfere with the compacting process. Check
the work area and remove all obstacles before
beginning compacting.
OPERATING THE PLATE COMPACTOR
The plate compactor is started with the throttle lever (#F6) in
low gear. The power bypasses the centrifugal clutch and the
base plate does not vibrate.
Once the throttle lever is opened, the base plate begins to
vibrate. As the vibrator rotary shaft (#D12) rotates, the
centrifugal force 'throws' the base plate forward. This motion
pulls the tool forward without effort. As the throttle lever is
opened further, the centrifugal force increases in strength and
frequency. This results in deeper compaction and the tool
moves faster.
This unit can only travel forward. Plan your compacting route
to allow forward turns, if the compacting next to a structure
such as a wall.
WARNING! Maintain a grip on the tool at all times when under
power, as it will move by itself when the throttle is open and
may pose an injury risk to bystanders and the operator.
1. Check the plate compactor before use (see Maintenance
Chart - Daily before operating)
1.1 Check the gasoline engine before use per the separate
engine instruction manual.
2. Position the throttle lever in low gear.
