Engine maintenance
See the engine manual included in your plate compactor for engine maintenance information. Your engine manual
provides detailed information for performing the tasks.

6. STORAGE

If the plate compactor is not used for a period of more than 30 days, follow the steps to
prepare the unit for storage.
1) Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel containing ethanol or MTBE may begin to
expire in 30 days. The expired fuel contains a lot of gum and can clog the carburettor and
decrease the fuel flow.
2) Start the engine and let it run until it stops. This ensures that no fuel remains in the
carburettor. Run the engine until it stops. This prevents deposits from forming in the
carburettor and possibly damaging the engine.
3) While the engine is still hot, drain the engine oil. Fill it with oil of the quality recommended
in the engine manual.
4) Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 60ml of high quality SAE-30
engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter cord gently to dispense the oil. Replace the
candle.

If compactor vibrations become weak or
even disappear during normal operations
regardless of operating hours, check the belt
and clutch immediately.
• Belt replacement
Remove the upper and lower covers of the belt. Insert a ring
wrench (13 mm) or similar into the clamp bolt of the vibrator
pulley. Insert a cloth or similar into the center of the belt on the
left and pull firmly, turn the key clockwise to remove the belt.•
Belt installation
Engage the belt on the vibrator pulley and push the belt to the
left of the upper clutch, and in the same manner as for removal,
turn the wrench clockwise so that the belt snaps into place.
Checking the clutch
Check the clutch at the same time as the belt. With the belt
removed, visually check that the outer drum of the clutch is not
seized and that the V-shaped sheave is not worn or damaged.
Clean the sheave V if necessary. Wear of the liner or sole must
be checked by checking. If the sole is worn, the power
transmission becomes defective and will slip.
