The Manufacturer does not assume responsibility for any accident due to equipment modifications and will also void the warranty. NEVER use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by STARK for this model of plate compactor.

OPERATION The machine is best suited to the compaction of bituminous and granular materials e.g. granular soils, gravels and sands or mixtures of both. Cohesive soils such as silt and clay are best compacted using the impact force produced by a vibrating rammer. Where possible the site should be graded and levelled before commencing compaction.
OPERATION PRIOR TO OPERATION Make sure that all dirt, mud, etc., are thoroughly removed from the unit prior to operation. Special effort should be given to the button face of the vibrating plate and those areas adjacent to the cooling air inlet of engine, carburetor, and air cleaner.
