3. Start the gasoline engine per instructions in the engine
instruction manual.
4. Hold the compactor handle (#F1) and move the throttle
lever towards high gear. The vibrator assembly will engage
and the compactor will begin to move forward.
5. Retain a hold of the handle and guide the tool as it
compacts. Inclines may require a gentle pressure to
maintain forward momentum (see Compacting on
an Incline).
6. Watch for obstacles in the tool's work path that can create
a dangerous hazard or may damage the tool. Move the
throttle lever to low gear and wait for it to stop moving
before removing the obstacle. Turn the tool off and move
to a safe location if the object will require more than a few
seconds to remove.
7. The surface may require 3 or 4 passes to achieve full
compaction. The type of surface material will determine
how many passes are needed. The tool will begin to
bounce when the material is compact.
8. Move the throttle lever to low gear once a pass is complete
to disengage the vibrator assembly. Reposition the tool for
another pass and repeat steps 4 and 5.
9. Move the throttle lever to low gear once the job is
complete and wait until the tool stops vibrating. Shut the
engine off per the engine instruction manual instructions
and allow it to cool.
9.1 Let the engine idle for several minutes before shutting
it off if the compactor was used for a length of time
or the job was hard on the equipment. This will allow
a gradual cooling of the engine components
without damage.
COMPACTING HIGH CLAY CONTENT SOIL
A dry intermediary material may be used to cover the soil
surface to prevent the soil from sticking to the compactor's
base plate.
