Operation - Strong SP-80A Operation Manual

ENSURE that the petrol is only stored in an approved storage
container.
DO NOT refuel the motor while it is in operation or hot.
DO NOT refuel the motor in the vicinity of sparks, a naked flame
or a person smoking.
DO NOT over fill the fuel tank and avoid spilling petrol when
refueling .Spilled petrol or petrol vapour may ignite. If spillage
occurs, ensure that the area is dry before starting the motor.
ENSURE that the fuel tank cap is securely fitted after refueling.
！CHEMICAL HAZARDS
DO NOT operate or refuel a petrol or diesel motor in a confined
area without adequate ventilation.
CARBON MONOXIDE exhaust gases from internal combustion
motor driven units can cause death in confined spaces.
！NOISE HAZARDS
EXCESSIVE NOISE can lead to temporary or permanent loss of
hearing.
WEAR an approved hearing protection device to limit noise exposure. As
required by Occupational Health and Safety regulations.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
ALWAYS wear approved hearing protection when working in a
confined work space. Protective goggles and a dust mask should
be worn when working in a dusty environment. Protective
clothing and footwear may also be desirable when working with
hot mix bitumen.
！ADDITIONAL HAZARDS
Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be
aware of uneven or slippery work surfaces.
Exercise care when working in the vicinity of unprotected holes or
excavations.

OPERATION

Pre start-up inspection
The following Pre-start-up inspection must be performed before
the start of each work session or after every four hours of use.
Whichever is first. If any fault is discovered, the compactor must
not be used until the fault is rectified.
1. Thoroughly inspect the compactor for signs of damage.
Check components are present and secure. Pay special
attention to the belt drive safety guard fitted between the
engine and the vibrator unit.
2. Check the engine oil level and top up as necessary
3. Check the engine fuel level and top up as necessary
4. Check for fuel and oil leaks
Start and stop Procedure for Petrol Engine
1. Open the fuel tap by moving the fuel ON/OFF lever fully to the
right
2. If starting the engine from cold, set the choke ON by moving
the choke lever fully to the left. If restarting a warm engine, the
choke is usually not required. However, if the engine has cooled
to a degree, partial choke may be required.
3. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch clockwise to the ―1‖ position
4. Set the throttle to the idle position by moving the throttle lever
fully to the right. Do not start the engine on full throttle,
As the compactor will vibrate as soon as the engine starts.
5. Taking a firm hold of the control handle with one hand, grasp
the recoil starter handle with the other. Pull the recoil starter
until engine resistance is felt. Then let starter return.
6. Taking care not to pull starter's cope fully out, pull the starter
handle briskly
7. Repeat until the engine fires
8. Once the engine fires gradually, set the choke lever to the
OFF position by moving it to the right.
9. If the engine fails to fire after several attempts, follow the
trouble-shooting guide on page 5.
10. To stop the engine, set the throttle to idle and turn the engine
ON/OFF switch anticlockwise o the ―0‖ position.
11. Turn the fuel off
The machine is best suited to the compaction of bituminous and
granular materials e.g. granular 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 leveled before
commencing compaction.
For more information of starting and correct operating procedures
of the motor, refer to the motor operation manual supplied with
the unit.
Increase the motor sped to the maximum setting using the ha nd
throttle lever, before commencing compacting.
The machine should be controlled by grasping the handle with
both hands and applying restraint to control the forward motion.
Steer the machine by moving the handle sideways to the right or
left;
