1. To compact soil with a high clay content, reduce speed
so the compactor's base plate is still vibrating, but not
leaving the surface. This will require the operator to
push the compactor more to account for the loss of
natural momentum.
2. Check underneath the base plate and remove all material
that is stuck after each pass or more often if required.
3. Double the number of passes to compact the soil as the
plate compactor is not at full power.
COMPACTING ON AN INCLINE
WARNING! Never stand below the plate compactor when
using on an incline as it may topple and cause a serious
injury. When changing direction, always remain uphill.
WARNING! Stop compacting immediately if the tool is
difficult to control on an incline. The tool may topple and
cause a serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
The incline cannot exceed a 20° angle. There may be a risk
that the tool will topple during compaction. The angle will
also prevent the oil lubrication system from operating
correctly and damage the engine.
1. The best method of compacting on an incline is starting at
the top and moving down the incline.
2. Adjust the speed that the compactor moves with the
throttle (#E6), until it is comfortable.
3. At the slope's bottom, move the throttle (#E6) to idle
speed to stop the base plate from vibrating.
4. Pull the plate compactor to the top of the incline and fully
open the throttle to start the base plate vibrating. Resume
the soil compacting.
4.1 The optional wheel assembly will make it easier to pull
the plate compactor up the incline.
5. A shallow incline may allow compacting from
side-to-side, moving down the incline as each section
is complete. In this case, compacting on an incline may
