SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF VIBRATORY PLATES WITH COMBUSTION ENGINES General instructions Vibratory plates may only be operated by persons who * are at least 18 years of age * are physically and mentally fit for this job * have been instructed in guiding vibratory plates and proved their ability for the job to the employer * may be expected to carry out the job they are charged with carefully.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Make sure the soil or subsoil to be compacted has a high enough load carrying capacity. Use appropriate protective clothing while working or while carrying out maintenance work. When traveling backwards the operator has to guide the vibration plate laterally by its guide handle so that he will not be squeezed between the handle and a possible obstacle.

DESCRIPTION Field of application The application range of these machines reaches from the trench and surface compaction, even with semi- cohesive soils, to the vibration of interlocking paving stones and sett pavements. Dimensions Max. admissible inclination T00803GB...
DESCRIPTION Description of function The vibration required for compaction is produced by the exciter (4) which is firmly joinded to the lower mass (3). This exciter (4) is designed as a central vibrator with single-plane vibrations. Such a principle permits the direction of vibration to be changed by turning the eccentric weights (12).
TRANSPORT TO WORK SITE / RECOMMENDATIONS ON COMPACTION Transport to work site Conditions: To transport the vibration plate, use only suitable lifting equipment with a minimum load-bearing capacity of 400 kg. Always switch off engine before transporting the machine! Only attach suitable tackle at the central lifting point (13) provided. During transport on the loading area of a vehicle, tie down the vibraion plate using the lugs (14).
OPERATION Starting Pre-starting check 1. Oil level check Insert dipstick in oil filler neck, but without screwing in. If oil level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with high grade SAE 10 W 40 oil. 2.
OPERATION Handling As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever to the OPEN position. Position the throttle lever for the desired engine speed. Oil alert system The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crank- case.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance schedule Check all external screw connections for tight fit approx. 8 hours after first operation. Parts Maintenance jobs Maintenance interval Air filter Check for external damage and tight fit. daily Check filter cartridge, clean or replace if necessary. Fuel tank Check tank lid for tight fit, replace if necessary.
MAINTENANCE Engine oil Oil change Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure rapid and complete draining. 1. Remove the oil filler cap and the drain plug to drain the oil. 2. Install the drain plug, and tighten it securely. 3.
MAINTENANCE Spark plug Spark plug service Recommended spark plug: BP6ES-11, BPR6ES-11 (NGK), W20EP-U11, W20EPR-U11 (ND). Caution: Never use a spark plug of incorrect heat range. To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits. 1.
MAINTENANCE Service instructions 1. Adjusting the V-belt tension Remove belt guard. Loosen nuts situated on the motor V-belt pulley and remove outer V-belt pulley half. Remove necessary number of shims (the removal of one shim is usually suffecient). Install the removed shims on the outside of the V-belt pulley.

MAINTENANCE 3. Bleeding hydraulic control: 1. Remove apron (17) by undoing the screws (16). 2. Move centre pole into vertical position, move control handle (6) right into the reverse position, open filler bore (15). 3. Loosen connecting screw (18). 4. Slowly push the control handle (6) in forward direction until hydraulic oil emerges bubblefree at the connec- tion screw.
MOTOR High altitude applications Air is rarer at greater altitudes and the main jet of the standard carburettor supplies the engine with an extremely rich fuel-air mixture. This, in turn, leads to a loss of engine power and the consequent increase in fuel consumption.
FAULTS Forward speed too low Cause: - Too little hydraulic oil in the centre pole head. - Air in hydraulic control. Remedy: - Top up hydraulic oil. - Bleed system. Reverse speed too low Cause: - Too much oil in centre pole head. Remedy: - Correct oil level in accordance with mark.
