ASSEMBLY (cont.)
Fitting the paving pad kit (15)
The transparent rubber paving pad reduces the vibration when compacting solid
slabs of concrete, stones, slates and bricks. It also reduces the chance of cracking
the paving slabs when coming into contact with the compacting plate (7).
1.
To fit, place the paving pad on a flat surface.
2.
Wheel the plate compactor over the paving pad, making sure the pad is
aligned with the compacting plate (7).
3.
Fix paving pad to the back of the plate compactor first. Align the holes in the
compacting plate (7), paving pad and bracket.
4.
Secure in place with M10x30 nyloc nuts
and bolts (16) (fig. 6)
5.
Fold the wheels up and secure with hooks
on the handle assembly (2).
6.
Using the front lifting handle (8), lift the
front of the plate compactor with one hand
and with the other hand, pull the paving
pad forward to align with the holes in
compacting plate (7).
7.
Use the remaining bracket, M10x30 bolts and nuts (16) to secure.
8.
Use a spanner (not included) to fully tighten all bolts & nuts.
