MP15 Operation
4. Operation
4.1 Recommended Fuel
The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh, clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage fuel system. Consult engine owner's manual for complete fuel specifications.
4.2 Application
This plate is designed for compacting loose, granular soils, gravel, and paving stones. It is intended to be used in confined areas and areas next to structures such as walls, curbs, and foundations. Plates equipped with water tanks can be used for compacting asphalt.
This plate is not recommended for compacting cohesive soils with a heavy clay content. For cohesive soil, use a vibratory rammer or sheepsfoot roller.
4.3 Before Starting
4.3.1 Read and understand the safety and operating instructions at the beginning of this manual.
4.3.2 Check:
- Oil level in the engine
- Fuel level
• Condition of the air cleaner - Tightness of the external fasteners
• Condition of the fuel lines
MP15 Operation
4.4 To Start
See Graphic: wpm_gr008613
4.4.1 Turn the fuel cock to the "ON" (OPEN) position (a1).
Note: If engine is cold, move choke lever to close position (b1). If engine is hot, set choke to open position (b2).
4.4.2 Move the governor lever to left a little (c1).
4.4.3 Turn the engine switch to "ON" postion. (d1)
4.4.4 Pull starter rope (e).
Note: Don't allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.
4.4.5 Preheat the engine and push back the choke lever to the "OPEN" position (f1).
4.4.6 Move the throttle lever to proper position to make the gasoline engine run at required velocity. (g1)
vpm_gr008613

See Graphic: wpm_gr008613
4.5.1 Push right the throttle lever to low speed position (c2).
4.5.2 Push the engine switch to the "OFF" position (d2).
4.5.3 Set the fuel cock to "OFF" position (a2).
MP15 Operation
4.6 Operation
Run the engine at full throttle and allow the plate to pull itself along at its normal speed. When operating on an incline it may be necessary to assist the plate by pushing it forward slightly. When operating downhill hold the plate back slightly, if it begins to pick up speed. Depending on the material being compacted, three or four passes are recommended to achieve the best compaction.
While a certain amount of moisture in the soil is necessary, excessive moisture may cause soil particles to stick together and prevent good compaction. If soil is extremely wet, allow it to dry somewhat before compacting.
If soil is so dry as to create dust clouds while operating plate, some moisture should be added to the ground material to improve compaction. This will also reduce service to the air filter.
For compacting asphalt, use a water tank to wet the asphalt and the underside of plate. This will prevent asphalt material from sticking. Two passes are usually sufficient to ensure good compaction.
When using the plate on paving stones, attach a pad to the bottom of the plate to prevent chipping or grinding surface of stones. A special polyurethane pad designed for this purpose is available as an optional accessory.
NOTICE: DO NOT operate the plate on concrete or on extremely hard, dry, compacted surfaces. The plate will jump rather than vibrate and could damage both the plate and the engine.
