4.Operation
4-l As the engine warms up, gradually move the
choke lever to the OPEN position. (Fig-8)
4-2 Move the speed control lever from the LOW to
the HIGH position. When the engine speed
reaches approximately 2,300-2,600 RPM, the
centrifugal clutch engages. If the engine speed
increased very slowly, it is possible that the
clutch can slip. Do not operate the speed
control lever slowly. (Fig-9,lO)
OIL ALERT SYSTEM
The Oil Alert System is designed to prevent engine
damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in
the crankcase. Befor the oil level in the crankcase
can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert System will
automatically stop the engine (the engine switch
will remain in the ON position).
NOTICE
If the engine stops and will not restart check the
engine oil level.
4-3 When compacting asphalt, it is advisable to
paint the bottom face of the vibrating plate
with diesel fuel.
This will assist in preventing the plate from
sticking to the as halt.
4-4 When shutting off the vibrator, turn the speed
control lever from the HIGH to LOW position.
Do not move the speed control lever slowly.
4-5 Water spring system
The water system will provide about 20
minutes sprinkling with the water cock in the
fully open position and the compactor operating
at full speed. Is is advisable to mix a small
amount of detergent or diesel fuel with the
water.
This will allow the water to flow easier.
5. Transportation

5-2 Screw up the fuel tank cap securely and close
the fuel valve to avoid fuel leaking.
5-3 In transportation by car, fix machine securely
