manufactured under' stringent quality standards to meet superior performance criteria. You will 

find it easy and safe to operate, and with proper care, it will give you many years of dependable

plate, engine oil drain hose, closed V-belt guard, self-adjusting centrifugal clutch and folding 

handle. A range of useful accessories enables use in all kinds of applications.

2. The Plate Compactor applies energy to the loose soil or other materials to increase its 

density and load bearing capacity, mainly used for small repair and maintenance work. The 

loose soil or particles are moved or rearranged in a particular manner close to each other to 

avoid any trapped air or voids. It increases the load bearing capacity, decreases water 

seepage, prevents soil settlement, reduces swelling, contraction of the soil and prevents 

frost damage. It is ideal for compaction of granular soils, sands, gravel, crushed aggregate 

and mixed soils.

These compactors are not intended to be used on cohesive soils such clay or 

hard surfaces like concrete.

1. The Engine Manufacturer is responsible for all engine-related issues with regards to 

performance, power rating, specifications, warranty and service. Please refer to the Engine 

Manufacturer's owner/operator's manual, packed separately with your unit, for more
