TAKING INTO OPERATION

7.3  Starting the motor (Fig. 5 – 10)

•   Open the fuel tap (5) by pushing to the right.

•   In cold condition, push the choke lever (4) to the left, to the position “closed/geschlossen”.

•   In warm condition, put the choke lever (4) in right position, “open/geöffnet”

•   Push the gas lever (9) somewhat to the left.

•   Put the power switch (1) in position “ON/EIN”

•   Make a light pull in the starting wire (2) until a firm resistance is detected. Then, make a quick 

and hard pull in the starting wire. Let it roll back slowly.

•   Open the choke (4) while the motor runs warm. 

•   During operation, open the gas lever in full, or adjust to required rotation speed.

7.4  Shutting down the motor (Fig. 11 – 13)

•   Put the gas lever (9) in idle speed “SLOW/LANGSAM”, to the right.

•   Put the power switch (1) in “OFF/AUS”

•   Close the fuel tap (5) by pushing to the left, “OFF/AUS”.

7.5  Operation

Run the motor at full speed; adjust with lever (J). The compactor now starts to move forward by 

itself and in normal speed.  Working uphill, push the compactor gently forwards. When working 

downhill, reduce the speed by pulling back.

WARNING

At sloping surfaces, first only work uphill. An uphill surface which is easy to cultivate, can also 

be cultivated downhill in an easy way. The operator of the equipment may never stand in the 

direction of sliding.

The slope of the ground surface may never exceed 20°. If this slope is exceeded, the lubrication 

of the motor is affected which will cause damages on important parts of the motor.

7.6  Recommendations at compacting

Moisture and extremely soft foundations will also result in poor friction. This may increase the 

risks for accidents.

•   To achieve optimal compacting, usually 3 – 4 turns are necessary, all depending on moisture, 

grain size and so on. 

•   A foundation which is too wet can never the less be compacted with a good result. Before 

compacting, let the surface dry up. 

•   A surface which is too dry will create much dust at cultivation. Irrigation prior to the cultivation 

will improve the result and reduce the need of cleaning the air filter.
