Care And Preventive Maintenance - Strong SP-80A Operation Manual

ALWAYS maintain good footing so that you do not slip and loose
control when starting or operating the machine;
Inspection the water hose and its connections to ensure that they
do not leak.

CARE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Check the oil level in the motor crankcase daily.
Check the vibrator oil level weekly.
Inspect the rubber anti vibration mounts for wear or deterioration.
Inspection the water hose and its connections to ensure that they
do not leak.
Clean the underside of the plate regularly to prevent a bui ld up of
material.
Use unleaded grade petrol and ensure that the fuel is free from
contamination.
The vibratory motion provides a self propelling action. Position
the handle at the opposite end of the machine to the vibrator.
Start the motor using the recoil starter. (If the motor is fitted with
an on/off switch this must first be turned to ON before starting. )
Correct moisture content in soil is vital to proper compaction.
Water acts as a lubricant to help slide soil particles together. Too
little moisture means inadequate compaction; too much moisture
leaves water-filled voids that weaken the soil's load bearing
ability.
Compaction of dry materials will be facilitated by moistening with
a water hose fitted with a sprinkler.
Excessive watering or water content will cause the machine to
stall.
The optional water tank kit is recommended when the machine is
used on bituminous surfaces as the water flume prevents
A build up of material on the underside of the plate.
CAUTION:
Inspection and other services should always be
carried out on hard and level ground with the engine shutdown.
Inspection and maintenance Service Tables:
