Operation

Applications

Plate compactor is the machine that compacts the ground, and it intends to make the surface smooth, by

transmitting vibration through vibrating plate, which power generated from single motor in vibrator case This

machine is suitable for making the ground surface smooth, such as leveling the soil and beaching,

finishing the asphalt paving. Applications as followings:

•

Trench compaction

•

Road maintenance

•

Brick paving

•

Earthworks

•

Landscaping

•

Driveway toppings

WARNING! This machine is hard to move forward on a soil with much water (especially clay soil). It is

not suitable for such application. This machine is hard to move forward on a soil with much water

(especially clay soil). It is not suitable for such application. This machine is difficult to level a ground

including big stones due to insufficient compacting force. Plate compactor is mainly applied for

compacting surface smooth, and it is not effective for jobs that require heavy compaction. In case of

compacting ground deeply into lower layer, it is recommended to use. Tamping Rammer, Vibrato

Compactor and Vibration Roller has more effective compacting force. Please use this compactor for

compacting surface on soil, sediment, sand, beaching, and asphalt. It is not recommended for use this

machine for the other applications.

Structure

The upper part is made up of Power Source, Handle, Belt Cover and Guard Hook which are fixed by Engine

base. The Engine base is fixed on Vibrating Plate by Shock Absorbing Rubber. The lower part is made up of

Vibrating Plate and Vibrator unit that has two Eccentric rotary shaft built in. The power source is transmitted from

the centrifugal clutch on engine output shaft to the eccentric rotary shaft via V-belt.

Power Transfer Air-cooled single cylinder engine is amounted as power source and Centrifugal Clutch is fixed on

engine output shaft.

Centrifugal Clutch engages by running up the engine and engine is reduced to suitable number for compacting.

The rotation of engine is transmitted from V-pulley integrated with Clutch drum to Vibrator pulley through V-belt.

Vibrator Pulley rotates Eccentric rotor shaft that is contained in Vibrator case. The generated vibration created

from eccentric rotor is transmitted to Compaction with the weight of the machine makes the compaction of the

ground possible.

Functions and Controls

Motor:

•

The motor is controlled by an ON/OFF switch or push button which is mounted on the motor below the fuel

tank.

•

The motor speed is controlled by a remote throttle lever which is mounted on the machine handle.

Drive belt:

•

Tension of the drive belt is adjustable. Loosen the four nuts on the bolts which secure the motor to the base

plate, Adjust the set screws which bear against the motor crankcase to achieve the required belt tension.

Ensure that the four nuts and the set screw lock nuts are tightened after adjustment.

General Operation

•

The machine is best suited to the compaction of bituminous and granular materials e.g., granular soils,

gravels and sands or mixtures of both. Cohesive 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.

•

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.

•

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.)

•

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 speed to the maximum setting using the hand throttle lever, before commencing

compacting.

•

The machine should be controlled by grasping the handle with both hands and applying restraint to control

the forward notion. Forward or backward motion has problem, adjust the red handle or nut Steer the

machine by moving the handle sideways to the right or left.

•

ALWAYS maintain good footing so that you do not slip and lose control when starting or operating the

machine.

Prior To Operation

•

Make sure that all dirt, nut, etc., are thoroughly removed from the unit prior to operation. Special effort should

be given to the button face of the vibrating plate and those areas adjacent to the cooling air inlet of engine,

carburetor, and air cleaner.

•

Check all bolts and screws for tightness and make sure all bolts and screws are securely tightened. Loose

bolts and screws may cause damage to the unit.

•

Check the V-belt for tightness. The normal slack should be approximately 10-15 mm (1/2’’) when the belts

are forcibly depressed in the middle position between the two sheaves.

If there is excess belt play. There could be a decrease in the impact force or erratic vibration, causing

machine damage.

•

Check the engine oil level and if the engine oil lever is low, it should be refilled. Use the proper motor oil as

suggested in the table below. (Fig-1)

second time, replace the oil after 100 hours of operation. Then every month or every 200 hours of operation,

replace the oil.

Please use 350ml MOBIL GX80W-90 oil or other oil with same standard. When changing the oil, the old oil

can be drained by tipping the unit. The oil will drain easily while it is hot.

•

A regular grade gasoline should be used in the engine.

CAUTION!

Be careful with the operating place and ventilation. Avoid operating the machine in a closed room,

tunnel, or other badly ventilated places, since its exhaust contains deadly poisonous carbon monoxide.

If the machine is employed unavoidable operated in such a place, discharge the exhaust out the room by

a suitable means.

Be careful with the hot members. Mufflers and other hot members are dangerous. Do not touch them

with unprepared hand.

Observe with the following cautions when transporting. Clamp fuel tank cap securely and turn the fuel

have OFF at the source during. Drain gasoline from fuel tank before transporting over a long distance or

on rough roads.

Stop engine without fail before replenishing fuel tank. Never replenish gasoline while the engine is

running or remains hot otherwise spilled or evaporated fuel is liable to catch fire from engine sparks or

muffler heat.

Wipe off spilled fuel, if any, before starting engine. Be careful not to spill fuel.

Keep inflammable way from the vicinity of the exhaust port.

Be careful with gasoline match, straw and other inflammable since the exhaust port is subjected to a

high temperature.

4. Close the choke lever.

If the engine is warm or the ambient temperature is high, open the choke lever half-way, or keep it fully open.

If the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is low, close the choke lever fully (Fig-5).

5. Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance is felt. This is the “compression” point. Return the handle to its

original position and pull swiftly.

Do not pull out the rope all the way.

After starter the engine, allow the starter handle to return to its original position while still holding the handle

(Fig-6).

6. Turn the throttle lever to START position (open by about 30 degrees) (Fig-4-D).

CAUTION! Do not pull the rope all the way and do not take you hand off the pulled knob but slowly

return it original position. After starting up the engine, be sure to perform a warmup the engine, be sure

to perform a warmup run for 2 to 3 minutes. This should be performed without fail, particularly during

winter season.

Operating

1. As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever to the OPEN position (Fig-7).

2. Move the speed control lever from the LOW to the HIGH position. When the engine speed reaches

approximately 2,300 - 2,600 RPM, the centrifugal clutch engages. If the engine speed increased very slowly,

it is possible that the clutch can slip. Do not operate the speed control lever slowly (Fig 8, 9).

Oil Alert System

The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the

crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert System will automatically

stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position).

NOTE: If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level. When compacting asphalt, it is

advisable to paint the bottom face of the vibrating plate with diesel fuel. This will assist in preventing the

plate from sticking to the asphalt. When shutting off the vibrator, turn the speed control lever from the

HIGH to LOW position. Do not move the speed control lever slowly.

Shutting Down

To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the stop switch to the OFF position. Under normal conditions, use the

following procedure:

1. Set the speed control lever at the low-speed position and allow the engine to run at low speed for 2 or 3

minutes before stopping (Fig 10).

2. Tum the STOP switch to the OFF position (Fig 11).

Maintenance

ATTENTION: Surface corrosion will occur on metal surfaces over time and the rate of oxidation

depends on factors such as proximity to the ocean and humidity or condensation of water

vapour on metal surfaces. To mitigate this, WD40 can be used to remove surface corrosion then, when

applied periodically, it will prevent rust from forming.

CAUTION! Flammable liquid: Stop engine and do not smoke or allow work in immediate area when

refuelling. Fire or explosion could result from flames or sparks.

Moving parts: Shutdown engine before performing service or maintenance. Contact with moving parts

can cause serious injury.
