Maintenance
FILLING CRANKCASE WITH OIL:
1.
Make sure the plate compactor is on a level surface. Tilting the plate
compactor to assist in filling will cause oil to flow into engine areas
and will cause damage. Keep plate compactor level!
2.
Remove the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine.
3.
Using a funnel, add the appropriate type and amount of oil into the
crankcase. The crankcase is full when the oil level has reached the
second thread from the lip of the opening.
4.
Check for oil leaks. Reinstall oil filler cap before starting engine.
CHANGING THE OIL:
Change the oil when the engine is warm. This will allow for complete
drainage. Change oil more often if operating under heavy load or high ambient temperatures. It is also
necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with water or dirt. The oil
capacity of the engine in this plate compactor is 20 fl. oz. Add oil when the oil level is low.
DRAINING THE OIL FROM THE ENGINE:
1.
Place a container underneath the engine to catch oil as it drains.
2.
Use an open-end wrench to securely hold the oil drain plug in place. Then, using a hex wrench,
unscrew the oil drain plug. Allow all the oil to drain from the engine.
3.
Reinstall the oil drain plug and tighten with a hex wrench.
NOTE:
Never dispose of used motor oil in the trash or down a drain. Please call your local recycling
center or auto garage to arrange oil disposal.
DRAINING THE CARBURETOR:
1.
Turn the fuel valve to “OFF”.
2.
Locate the drain screw on the carburetor bowl. Prepare a pan, jar, or other approved gasoline storage
container to catch the fuel that will leak out.
3.
Loosen the drain screw and allow the fuel to drain completely. When it is done draining, re-tighten the
drain screw.
