Figure 1. Compactor Controls
Figures 1 and 2 shows the location of the controls, indicators
and general maintenance parts. The function of each control is
described below:
1. Breather Cap – Remove this cap to bleed (remove air)
the hydraulic system. When replacing hydraulic oil, use
"Shell Tellus #46 or equivalent".
2. Hand Grip – When operating the compactor use this hand
grip to manuever the compactor.
3. Handle Lock – Pull handle bar downward (working
position), then pull handle lock to lock handle bar in place.
4. Vibration Case Oil Level Check Plug – Remove this plug
to check the vibration case oil. Oil level should be all the
way up to the filler port. When replacing vibration case oil,
use 10W-30 engine oil.
5. Handle Bar (working position) – When operating the
compactor, this handle is to be in the downward position.
6. Handle Bar (stored position) – When the compactor is
to be
stored , move the handle bar to the upright position.
7. Engine – This plate compactor can use either a HONDA
GX200 gasolineengine or a ROBIN DY23-2D diesel
engine. Refer to the respective owners manual for engine
information and related topics.
8. Belt Cover – Remove this cover to gain access to the V-
belts. NEVER run the compactor without the V-belt cover. If
the V-belt cover is not installed, the possibility exist that
your hand may get caught between the V-belt and clutch,
thus causing serious injury and bodily harm.
9. Vibration Case – Encloses the eccentric, gears and
counter weights.
10. Forward & Reverse Lever – Push the lever forward, the
compactor will move in a forward direction, pull the lever
backwards, the compactor will move in backwards direction.
Placing the lever in the middle (midway) will cause the
compactor not to move (neutral).
