TON

• ENSURE all operators read, understand and follow the operating instructions.

• SERIOUS INJURY could result from improper or careless use of this machine.

• Plate compactors are heavy units and should be positioned by two people of

appropriate strength. Using the lifting handles provided on the machine, along

with correct lifting techniques.

! MECHANICAL HAZARDS

• DO NOT operate the machine unless all protective guards are in place.

• KEEP handles and feet clear of rotating and moving parts as they will cause injury

if contacted.

• ENSURE that the motor operation switch is in the OFF position and the spark

plug ignition lead is disconnected before removing the guards or making

adjustments.

• ENSURE both the machine and the operator are stable by setting up on level

terrain and the machine will not tip over, slide of fall while in operation or

unattended.

• DO NOT leave the machine in operation while it is unattended.

• DO NOT pull the machine backward with transportation wheels, it only should be

pushed forward.

• ENSURE that the walls of a trench are stable and will not collapse due to the

action of the vibration, prior to commencing compaction.

• ENSURE that the area to be compacted does not contain any “live” electrical

cables, gas, water or communication services which may be damaged by the

action of vibration.

• EXERCISE CARE when operating unit. Exposure to vibration or repetitive work

actions may be harmful to hands and arms.

• NEVER stand on the unit while it is operating.

• DO NOT increase the governed no-load motor speed above 3,500 r/min. Any

increase may result in personal injury and damage to the machine.

• BE CAREFUL not to come in contact with the muffler when the engine is hot,

since it can cause severe burns.

• 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.

1.3 OPERATOR SAFETY WHILE USING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

• DO NOT smoke when refueling the engine or during any other fuel handling

operation.

• DO NOT refuel a hot or running engine.

• DO NOT refuel the engine near an open flame.

• If fuel is spilled during refueling, wipe it off from the engine immediately and

discard the rag in a safe place. Do not operate the unit if fuel or oil leaks

exist-repair immediately.

• NEVER operate this equipment in an explosive atmosphere.

• NEVER operate any gas powered equipment in a poorly ventilated or enclosed

area.

• NEVER perform any work on the unit while it is running. Before working on it,

3. OPERATION

3.1 OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The following instructions were compiled to provide you information on how to obtain long and

trouble free use of the unit. Periodic maintenance of this unit is essential. Read the manual in its

entirety and follow the instructions carefully. Failure to do so may injure yourself or a bystander.

3.2 BEFORE STARTING

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.

a) Thoroughly inspect the trowel 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.

b) Check the engine oil level and top up as necessary.

c) Check the engine fuel level and top up as necessary.

d) Check for fuel and oil leaks.

3.3 TO START

OPER

A

TION

3.4 TO STOP

1. Push the throttle lever to “O” position.

2. Turn the key switch to “O” (off).

3. Close the fuel valve.

3.5 APPLICATION

The walk-behind trowels offer a reliable and high performance solution for concrete finishing,

trowelling small surfaces, edges and corners.

3.6 OPERATION

After the engine starts, let it warm up by idling for a few minutes.

Test the safety kill switch. If you have the centrifugal type clutch, try momentarily switching the

kill switch to the OFF position. If your safety kill switch is working properly, the engine on your

finisher should stop.

Get into the operator’s position behind the handle. With a secure foothold and a firm grasp on

the handless slowly increase the engine speed until the desired blades speed is obtained. If

your finisher has a hand clutch, set your engine speed with the throttle, then pull on the hand

clutch is fully engaged.

To maneuver the machine, gently lift up on or press down on the main trowel handle. To move

the machine to the operator’s left, lift up on the handle, to move machine to the right -push

down on the handle.

The best method for finishing concrete is to slowly walk backwards with the machine, guiding

the machine from side to side as you do so. See the diagram in the “Suggested Training

Checklist” at the end of this manual.

4.2 V-BELT AND CLUTCH

4.2.1 CHECKING THE V-BELT

After 200 hours of operation, remove the upper belt cover to check the V-belt tension. Tension

is proper if the belt bends about 10mm when depressed strongly with finger between shafts.

Loose or worn V-belts reduces power transmission efficiency, causing weak compaction and

reduces the life of the belt itself.

!

WARNING

NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running. Severe

injury can occur if your hand gets caught between the V-belt and the

clutch. Always use safety gloves.

TION

4.2.2 REPLACING THE V-BELT

Remove the belt covers. Engage an offset wrench or the like to vibrator pulley (lower) fastening bolt.

Engage waste cloth or the like at midway of V-belt on the left side and while pulling it back

strongly, rotate the offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt will come off.

4.2.3 CHECKING THE CLUTCH

Check the clutch simultaneously with V-belt checking. With belt removed, check outer drum

of the clutch for seizure and “V” groove for wear or damage with your eyes. Clean the “V”

groove as necessary. Wear of lining or shoe should be checked with running check. If the

shoe is worn, power transmission becomes deficient and slipping will result.

!

CAUTION

Whenever the compactor’s vibration becomes weak or lost during

normal operation regardless of operation hours, check the V-belt and

clutch immediately.

4.3 AIR CLEANER

A. The air filter element should be cleaned because a clogged air cleaner can

cause poor engine starting, lack of power and shorten engine life substantially.

B. To clean or replace air filter loosen the wing nut on the air filter housing, remove

the cover and take out air filter cartridge. If only cleaning of the air filter is desired

blow through the air filter cartridge from the inside, moving a jet of dry

compressed air up and down until all dust is removed.

4.4 SPARK PLUG

Check and clean spark plugs regularly. A fouled, dirty spark plug may cause hard starting

and poor engine performance. Set spark plug gap to recommended clearance. Refer to

engine manual.

!

WARNING

The muffler and engine cylinder become very hot during operation and

remain hot for a while after stopping the engine. Allow engine to cool

before removing spark plug.

NOTICE: A loose spark plug can become very hot and may cause

engine damage.

B. Make sure lifting device has enough capacity to hold machine (see nameplate on

machine for weight).

C. Use lifting point (a) when lifting machine.

D.

Trolley wheel (b) as optional is used for short distance transportation.
