PART NAME 6. PART NAME vibrating plate RP-i12 LONCIN G200F gasoline engine function The motor drives the exciter via a drive belt. The exciter is firmly mounted on the base plate and causes it to vibrate. The vibrating base plate carries out both the compaction work and the driving movement.
MACHINE TRANSPORT 7. MACHINE TRANSPORT Before transporting the machine or storing it indoors, allow the engine to cool down to avoid burns and to eliminate the risk of fire. Furthermore, make sure that people are not endangered by the machine tipping over or slipping or by machine parts flying up or down.

STORAGE DANGER! Only use the chassis on level and solid surfaces and for short distances. 8. STORAGE DANGER Do not store the machine with fuel in an unventilated area where fuel vapors can come into contact with flames, sparks, pilot lights, or other sources of ignition. If the machine is not to be used for more than 30 days, the following storage steps should be taken.
BEFORE FIRST USE FUEL 9. BEFORE FIRST USE A NOTICE The machine's engine is not supplied with petrol and engine oil. Fill the machine as described under "FUELLING". 10. REFUELLING You may only carry out the work described in this chapter after you have read and understood the safety instructions.
Page 21
FUEL Check engine oil level Only check the oil level on level ground with the engine switched off. 1. Unscrew the oil filler screw on the engine. 2. Wipe oil off the dipstick. 3. Insert the oil filler plug back into the opening, but do not screw it tight. 4.
Page 22
FUEL Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. You can suffer burns or other serious injuries when handling fuel. When refilling fuel, please note: ■ Turn off the engine and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing the fuel tank cap.
COMMISSIONING 11. COMMISSIONING 11.1 PREPARATION FOR USE Before starting the activity and after 4 hours of use: ■ Check oil level and fuel, top up if necessary. ■ Check the condition of the air filter, the fuel lines and connections for leaks and mechanical damage, and the fuel tank for cracks and leaks.
COMMISSIONING Warning of hot surfaces! The exhaust and other engine parts become very hot during operation. Never touch the hot engine. Keep a safe distance from hot surfaces and keep children away from the running engine. 11.2 DRIVE MOTOR The engine is operated by an ignition switch (ON/OFF switch) located below the fuel tank. The engine speed is controlled by an automatically controlled throttle lever located on the handlebar.

Page 26
COMMISSIONING A NOTICE Stopping the engine suddenly at full throttle can cause engine damage. 11.5 OPERATION The vibrating plate is equipped with a centrifugal clutch, so that the transmission is not driven at idle speed. As the speed increases, the clutch engages and the transmission begins to rotate.
Page 27
COMMISSIONING 5. The work area must first be cleared of obstacles and trip hazards must be eliminated. Extreme caution must be exercised near obstacles (walls, fences, etc.) or on uneven terrain, in narrow pits and when compacting coarse material to avoid becoming trapped and losing control of the machine.Make sure you stand safely! ■...

COMMISSIONING 11.6 RECOMMENDATION FOR COMPACTION The number of passes necessary to achieve a desired compaction depends on the type and moisture of the soil. Maximum soil compaction has been achieved when excessive setback is noticeable. ■ When using a compaction machine on asphalt, a “water tank” is required. The water prevents the base plate from sticking to the hot asphalt.
