Compactor Components Figure 2.
Figure 2 shows the location of the controls, indicators and
general maintenance parts. The function of each control
is described below:
Breather Cap 1. — Remove this cap to bleed (remove
air) the hydraulic system. When replacing hydraulic
oil, use "Shell Tellus #46" or equivalent.
Hand Grip 2. — When operating the compactor use this
hand grip to maneuver the compactor.
Handle Lock 3. — Pull handle bar downward (working
position), then pull handle lock to lock handle bar in
place.
Vibration Case Oil Level Check Plug 4. — Remove this
plug to check the vibration case oil. Oil level should be
all the way up to the fi ller port. When replacing vibration
case oil, use 10W-30 engine oil.
Handle Bar (working position) 5. — When operating
the compactor, this handle is to be in the downward
position.
Handle Bar (stored position) 6. — When the compactor
is to be stored, move the handle bar to the upright
position.
Diesel Engine 7. — This plate compactor uses a
YANMAR L48V6AF3R4AAW4 engine. Refer to the
YANMAR owner's manual for engine information.
Belt Cover 8. — 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, your hand may
get caught between the V-belt and clutch, thus causing
serious injury and bodily harm.
Vibration Case 9. — Encloses the eccentric gears and
counter weights.
Forward & Reverse Lever 10. — 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).
Throttle Control 11. — Move the throttle lever to the rabbit
position for full throttle (max RPMs). For engine idle,
move the throttle lever to the turtle position.
