Air Filter
1. The air filter element should be cleaned because a
clogged air cleaner can cause poor engine starting, lack
of power and shorten engine life substantially.
2. To clean or replace air filter loosen the wing nut on the
air filter housing (Figure 20), remove the cover and take
out air filter cartridge.
If only cleaning of the air filter is desired blow through
the air filter cartridge from the inside, moving a jet of
dry compressed air up and down until all dust is removed.
Changing Vibrator Oil
1. When changing the vibrator oil, remove the oil plug
located at the bottom of the vibrator (Figure 19),
2. Tip the compactor to drain the oil.
Vibrator oil will drain more easily
while it is warm. NOTE
