TRAVELING
1. Grasp the compactor's hand grip (Figure 16), and move
the engine throttle lever quickly to the fast position.
2. With the throttle lever in the fast position, the engine
speed should be around 3,600 RPM, therefore
engaging the centrifugal clutch.
3. To make the compactor move in the forward direction
push the travel lever ( Figure 17) forward.
4. To make the compactor move in the reverse direction
pull the travel lever ( Figure 17) backwards.
Figure 17. Travel Lever
ALWAYS move the throttle lever quickly
without hesitation, because increasing the
engine speed slowly causes the clutch to slip.
