MVC-90H PLATE COMPACTOR — START-UP PROCEDURE
The CLOSED position of the
choke lever enriches the fuel
mixture for starting a COLD
engine. The OPEN position
provides the correct fuel mixture
for normal operation after
starting, and for restarting a
warm engine.
2. Place the Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 11) in the ON
position.
3. Place the Choke Lever (Figure 12) in the OPEN position.

this section be read carefully before attempting to use the
compactor in the field.
1. Place the fuel valve lever (Figure 10) in the ON position.
CAUTION - Using the Recoil Starter Rope

(Figure 11) to the CLOSED position. If the engine has not
started repeat steps 1 through 5.
7. Before the compactor is put into operation run the engine
for 3-5 minutes.
8. Check for abnormal engine noises or fuel leaks.
