• Be attentive, watch your actions and use common sense when working with the machine. Do not overextend yourself.

• Do not operate the machine barefoot or with sandals or simi- lar light footwear. Wear safety shoes that protect your feet and improve your grip on slippery surfaces.

• Ensure safe footing and balance at all times. This will allow you to better control the machine in unexpected situations.

• Prevent unintentional start-up. Make sure that the engine switch is switched off before transporting the machine or car- rying out maintenance work on the machine. Transport or maintenance work on the machine can lead to accidents if the switch is on. Safe handling of fuel

• Petrol is very flammable and its gases can explode if they ignite.

• Take safety precautions when handling petrol to reduce the risk of serious injury.

• Use a suitable petrol can when filling or draining the tank.

• Carry out this work in clean, well-ventilated outdoor areas.

• Do not smoke. Do not allow sparks, naked flames or other sources of fire to get near when filling up with petrol or work- ing with the machine.

• Never fill the tank indoors. Keep earthed, electrically con- ductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed electrical parts and wires to avoid sparking or arcing. This could ignite petrol gases.

• Always switch off the engine and let it cool down before refilling the fuel tank. Never remove the fuel filler cap or fill fuel into the tank while the engine is running or while the engine is hot.

• Do not use the machine if you know there is a leak in the fuel system. Slowly loosen the fuel filler cap to release any pressure in the tank. Never overfill the tank (petrol should never be above the marked maximum fill level). Close the fuel tank securely again with the fuel filler cap and wipe up any spilled petrol.7GB/IE

• Do not use the machine if the fuel filler cap is not screwed tightly shut. Avoid ignition sources near spilled petrol. If pet- rol has been spilled, do not attempt to start the machine. Move the machine away from the area of the spillage and prevent the formation of ignition sources until the petrol gas- es have dissipated.

• Store fuel only in containers specially manufactured for this purpose.

• Store petrol in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sparks and naked flames or other sources of ignition. Never store petrol or the machine with a filled tank in a building where petrol gases could reach sparks, naked flames or other igni- tion sources such as water heaters, ovens, clothes dryers or similar.

• Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine in an enclosed area. Use and care of the machine

• Never pick up or carry the machine while the engine is run- ning.

• Do not handle the machine violently.

• Use the right machine for your area of application. The right machine will do the job it was designed for better and more safely.

• Do not change the speed governor setting of the engine or over-rev it. The speed governor controls the maximum speed of the engine with maximum safety.

• Do not run the engine at high speeds when not compacting.

• Do not hold your hands or feet near rotating parts.

• Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust gases and hot sur- faces. Do not touch the engine or exhaust silencer. These parts become particularly hot during use. They are still hot a short time after the machine is switched off.

• Allow the engine to cool down before carrying out mainte- nance or adjustment work.

• If the machine starts to make unusual noises or vibrations, switch the engine off immediately, disconnect the spark plug cable and determine the cause. Unusual noises or vibrations are usually a safety sign of faults.

• Only use assembly and accessory parts approved by the manufacturer. Failure to do so may result in injury.

• Service the machine. Check for misalignment or jamming of moving parts, damaged parts and other conditions that could impair function of the machine. Have the machine re- paired before any further use if you find any damage. Many accidents are the result of poorly maintained equipment.

• Keep the engine and silencer free of grass, leaves, excess grease or soot encrustation to reduce the risk of fire.

• Never pour or splash water or any other liquid onto the ma- chine.

• Keep the handles dry, clean and free of small parts.

• Clean the machine after every use.

• Follow the applicable waste disposal guidelines for petrol, oil etc. to protect the environment.

• Keep the switched-off machine out of the reach of children and do not allow persons who are not familiar with the ma- chine or these instructions to use the machine. The machine is dangerous in the hands of untrained operators. Service

• Before cleaning, repairing, inspecting or adjusting, switch off the engine and ensure that all moving parts have come to a standstill.

• Always ensure that the engine switch is in the “OFF” position. Disconnect the spark plug cable and keep it away from the spark plug to prevent accidental start-up.

• Have your machine serviced by qualified personnel. Only use original spare parts. This ensures that the machine re- mains safe. Additional safety instructions

• Keep hands, fingers and feet away from the base plate in order to avoid injuries.

• Hold the handle of the plate vibrator firmly with both hands. If both hands hold the handle and your feet are away from the compacting plate, your hands, fingers and feet cannot be injured by the compacting plate.

• Always stay behind the machine when using it; never walk or stand in front of the machine when the engine is running.

• Never place tools or other objects under the plate vibrator. If the machine hits a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug and check the machine for damage; repair the damage before restarting and using the machine.

• Do not overload the machine by compacting too deep or too fast.

• Do not use the machine at high speeds on hard or slippery surfaces.

• Be especially careful when using the machine to work on or cross gravel beds, gravel paths or gravel roadways.

Inhalation of petrol/lubricating oil vapours and exhaust gases can cause serious damage to health, unconsciousness and in extreme cases death. - Do not breathe petrol/lubricating oil vapours and exhaust gases. - Only use the product outdoors. NOTE! Product damage Using the product without or with too little engine and gear oil can result in engine damage. - Fill with petrol and oil before commissioning. The product is supplied without engine and gear oil. NOTE! Environmental damage! Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently. The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water pollution. - Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces. - Use a filling nozzle or funnel. - Collect drained oil in a suitable container. - Immediately wipe up any spilled oil carefully and dispose it according to local regulations. - Dispose of oil as per local regulations. NOTE! Risk of damage! If incorrectly stored or undrained fuel is used, the carburettor may become clogged or engine operation may be affected. - Put unused fuel in an airtight vessel and store it in a dark, cool room. Check before operation

• Check all sides of the engine for oil or fuel leaks.

• Check the engine oil level.

• Check the fuel level – - the tank should be at least half-full.

• Check the condition of the air filter.

• Check the condition of the fuel lines.

• Look for signs of damage.

• Check that all protective covers are in place and all screws, nuts and bolts are tightened.

10.1 Filling up with engine oil (Fig. 13)

m Attention! The plate vibrator is delivered without engine oil. Therefore, ensure that you add oil before starting it up. Use multigrade oil (SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 (depending on the operating temperature)) for this. Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An oil level that is too low can damage the engine.

1. Place the plate vibrator on a level, even surface.

2. Unscrew the oil dipstick (14).

3. Fill the tank with engine oil using a funnel (not included

in scope of delivery). Note the max. filling capacity of 600 ml. Carefully fill the oil up to the lower edge of the filler neck.

4. Wipe the oil dipstick (14) with a clean, lint-free cloth.

5. Re-insert the oil dipstick (14) and check the oil level with-

out screwing the dipstick tight again.

6. The oil level must be within the middle mark on the oil

7. If the oil level is too low, add the recommended amount of

8. Then screw the oil dipstick (14) in again.

10.2 Filling up with petrol (fig. 15)

m Attention! The plate vibrator is delivered without petrol. It is therefore essential to fill with petrol before com- missioning. Use Super E5 / E10 petrol for this.

1. Clean the area surrounding the filling area. Impurities in

the tank lead to operational faults.

2. Carefully open the tank cap (5) so that any possible over-

pressure can be relieved.

3. Fill the tank with petrol (Super E5 / E10) using a funnel

(not included in scope of delivery). Note the max. filling capacity of 3.6 litres. Carefully fill the petrol up to the lower edge of the filler neck.

4. Close the tank filler cap (5) again. Ensure that the tank

cap is tightly sealed.

5. Clean the tank cap and the surroundings.

6. Check the tank and fuel lines for leaks.

7. Move at least three meters away from the refuelling area

before starting the engine.

• Do not use petrol that has already been used or that is con- taminated. Do not allow dirt or water to enter the fuel tank.

ON/OFF switch (23) The ON/OFF switch (23) activates and deactivates the ignition system. The ON/OFF switch (23) must be in the ON position for the engine to run. The engine stops when the ON/OFF switch (23) is moved to the OFF position. Throttle (2) The throttle (2) controls the speed of the machine. If the lever is moved in the directions shown, the engine runs faster or slower.10 GB/IE Fast / working position = Slow / Idle = Choke lever (16) (Fig. 10)

• Warm engine / choke closed:

• Cold engine / choke open: Note: The closed position of the choke lever enriches the fuel mixture for starting a cold engine. The open position provides the correct fuel mixture for normal operation after starting and for restarting a warm engine. Fuel valve (15) (Fig. 10)

1. Check the engine oil and petrol levels. See section 10.1.

2. Always fold up the transport frame (12) before compact-

ing and attach it to the transport frame hooks (17)! Make sure that the joint of the transport frame is free to move so that it can be folded up.

3. Set the choke lever (16) to closed (open when the en-

gine is warm). Note: As soon as the choke lever (16) is opened, the plate vibrator starts to vibrate at half throttle.

4. Open the fuel valve (15).

5. Set the throttle (2) to “half throttle” (= middle position

between “fast” and “slow”).

6. Set the ON/OFF switch (23) to ON.

7. Pull strongly on the starter rope (8) and let it wind back

8. Once the engine is running, slowly close the choke lever

(16). And thus put it in the operating position.

9. Set the throttle (2) to the working position.

10. Plate vibrator starts to work.

When using the machine, use the guide bar with handle (1) to steer it. Run the engine at full throttle, using the throttle (2). In doing so, the plate moves forward by itself at normal speed. When work- ing on inclines, push the plate vibrator forward slightly. When working on sloping surfaces, reduce the speed by holding the plate vibrator back. m ATTENTION! Do not use the plate vibrator on concrete or extremely hard, dry, compacted surfaces. The plate vibrator then tends to jump and does not vibrate. This can damage both the plate vibrator and the engine. The number of repetitions necessary for a desired compaction result depends on the type and moisture of the substrate. Maxi- mum compaction has been reached when you notice a very strong recoil. A certain amount of moisture in the ground is necessary. How- ever, excessive moisture can cause small parts to stick together and prevent good compaction. Let the ground dry a little if it is extremely wet. A very dry floor raises a lot of dust when working with the plate vibrator. Adding moisture can improve compaction and reduce air filter maintenance. Compaction with rubber pad When using the plate vibrator on paving stones, fit the rubber pad (20) to prevent chipping and abrasion of the stone surface (see 9.3). You can prevent damage to slabs and natural stones when vibrating by fitting a rubber pad under the plate vibrator. Remove the rubber pad when compacting loose, granular soils and for blacktop repair work. When bedding in with the black rubber pad, discolouration of the material surface may occur. Compaction without rubber pad If the plate vibrator is operated without a rubber pad, screw the screws (21a) into the fastening strip (21) and the base plate (20) to prevent damage to the holes. Notes when compacting The following notes must be followed when ground is compact- ed on slopes (mounds, embankments):

• Approach inclines only from the very bottom (an incline that can be easily overcome upwards can also be compacted downwards without risk).

• The operator must never stand facing the downward direc- tion.

• ATTENTION: A maximum incline of 20° shall not be ex- ceeded. If this increase is exceeded, the engine lubrication system may fail (spray lubrication and therefore failure of important engine components).

11.3 Stopping the engine

Emergency stop To stop the engine in an emergency situation, move the engine switch (23) to the OFF position. Switching off under normal conditions:

1. Return the throttle (2) to the idle position to stop the plate

vibrator from moving.

2. Let the engine cool down for a minute or two before stop-

3. Move the ON/OFF switch (23) to the “OFF” position.

m ATTENTION! Do not move the choke lever (16) to the “closed” position to stop the engine. This can lead to a misfire or engine damage.

Reducing the engine speed when idling extends the engine’s operating time, saves petrol and reduces the noise level of the plate vibrator.

1. Move the throttle (2) to the “idle” position to reduce the

load on the engine when not compacting.11GB/IE

12. Transport (Fig. 20)

m WARNING! Risk of injury! Unintended and unexpected start-up of the product may lead to injuries. - After loading, switch off the engine and, after the engine has cooled down, remove the spark plug connector from the spark plug. - The product can cause severe crushing injuries due to its own weight. Allow the engine to cool down before transporting or loading to avoid burns and to prevent fire hazards. m The machine can fall and cause damage or injury if it is not lifted properly. When transporting over longer distances, drain the fuel tank completely. Secure the machine on the transport vehicle against rolling, slipping or tipping over and also lash down the plate vibrator. The transport frame facilitates handling. To do this, pull the transport frame out of the hooks (17). Push the guide bar forward with both hands. This raises the machine slightly. Now fold the transport frame under the plate vibrator. Proceed in reverse order when setting the machine down. ATTENTION: Only use the transport frame on a level and solid surface and for short distances.

The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water pollution. - Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces. - Use a filling nozzle or funnel. - Collect drained oil in a suitable container. - Immediately wipe up any spilled oil carefully and dispose it according to local regulations. - Dispose of oil as per local regulations.

13.3 Changing the engine oil (Fig. 12, 13)

The 1st oil change must be carried out after 25 operating hours. Thereafter, after 100 operating hours. Recommended engine oil SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 (depend- ing on the operating temperature). To drain the engine oil, please proceed as follows:

1. Remove the flexible hose (18) with an open-ended 17mm

spanner (not included in the scope of delivery) and drain the engine oil into a suitable tray. Make sure that the sealing ring installed in the flexible hose (18) does not get lost.

2. When the engine oil is completely drained, secure the

flexible hose (18) to the device again.

3. Unscrew the engine oil dipstick (14). Fill the oil using a

funnel (not included in scope of delivery).

4. Check the oil level with the engine oil dipstick (14). Re-

insert the oil dipstick (14) and check the oil level without screwing the dipstick tight again.

5. Screw the engine oil dipstick (14) in again.

6. Pull the starter cable (8) 5x slowly to distribute the oil

13.4 Drain petrol with a petrol extraction pump

(Fig. 14, 15) The petrol must be drained in the event of storage over a long- er period of time or if the oil in the eccentric vibration unit is be- ing replaced.

1. Close the fuel valve (15).

2. Hold a collection container under the hose of the petrol

extraction pump (not included in the scope of delivery).

5. Push the hose of the petrol suction pump into the fuel tank

and drain the petrol completely using the petrol suction pump.

8. To ensure that no petrol remains in the carburettor, the

remaining petrol must be drained out of the carburettor. To do this, place a suitable container (not included in the scope of delivery) under the carburettor and open the car- burettor screw (15a).

13.5 Changing the oil in the eccentric vibration unit

(Fig. 16, 17) Due to the weight, we advise you to carry out this work with two people! We recommend changing the eccentric vibration unit’s oil after 300 operating hours. Change the eccentric vibration unit’s oil only when the eccen- tric vibration unit has cooled down. Recommended low-viscosity gear oil SAE 10W-40.

1. Drain the petrol as described in 13.4.

2. Drain the engine oil as described in 13.3.

3. Remove the oil drain screw (22) at the top of the eccentric

vibration unit housing and tilt the plate vibrator forward.

4. Allow the oil to drain into a tray.

5. Return the plate vibrator to its original position.

6. Fill the eccentric vibration unit housing (9) with low-viscos-

ity gear oil (10W40) using a funnel (not included in the scope of delivery). Note the max. filling capacity of 80- 100 ml.

7. Screw the oil drain screw (22) back in.13GB/IE

m ATTENTION! Do not overfill the tank! Too much oil in the eccentric vibration unit can reduce performance and overheat the eccentric vibra- tion unit. Eccentric vibration unit An eccentric weight on the eccentric shaft inside the eccentric vibration unit housing is driven, at high speeds, by a clutch and belt drive system. These high rotational speeds of the shaft cause the rapid up and down movements of the machine as well as the forward movement.

13.6 Maintenance of the air filter (Fig. 18)

m DANGER! Risk of fire and explosion! If not cleaned correctly, fuel may ignite and even explode. This leads to severe burns or death. - Clean the air filter only by knocking it out. - Never use petrol or flammable solvents to clean the air filter. NOTE! Risk of damage! Operating the engine without the filter element in place can cause engine damage. - Never run the engine without the air filter element in place. A fouled air filter insert (4c) diminishes the engine output due to reduced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection is therefore essential. The air filter should be checked every 50 operating hours and cleaned as required.

1. Unscrew the wing nut (4a) and remove the air filter cover

2. Check the air filter cover (4) for holes or cracks. Replace

3. Unscrew the inner wing nut (4b) and remove the filter in-

4. Wipe off dirt on the inside of the filter housing with a clean

moist cloth. Make sure that no direct enters the opening. Set the air filter cover (4) on the filter housing for the dura- tion of the filter cleaning process.

5. Remove the filter insert (4c). Check it for damage and re-

place it if necessary.

6. Knock the filter insert (4c) against a hard surface to re-

move the dirt. Never try to brush the dirt out as this will press it into the fibres.

7. If necessary, clean the filter insert (4c) additionally in

warm water and mild soap solution. Rinse it thoroughly with clean water and let it dry well.

9. Put on the air filter cover (4) and secure it with the wing

nut (4a). m ATTENTION: Never run the engine without an air filter insert (4c) or with a damaged air filter insert (4c). This would allow dirt to enter the engine, which would damage the engine. The manufacturer warranty is then invalidated.

13.7 Cleaning/replacing the spark plug (Fig. 19)

m ATTENTION: Only replace the spark plug when the en- gine is cold! Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 operating hours and if necessary, clean it with a copper wire brush. Thereafter, replace the spark plug every 50 operating hours if necessary.

1. Disconnect the spark plug cable and remove any dirt in

the spark plug area.

2. Unscrew the spark plug (24) with the supplied spark plug

3. Check the insulation. Replace the spark plug if it is dam-

aged, e.g. cracked or fragmented.

4. Clean the spark plug electrodes with a wire brush.

5. Check the electrode gap and adjust it using a feeler

gauge. To make sure that the engine remains efficient, the spark plug must have the right electrode gap (0.7-0.8 mm).

6. Screw the spark plug (24) back in by hand and tighten it

about 1/4 turn with the spark plug wrench supplied.

7. Fit the spark plug cable onto the spark plug (24).

m ATTENTION! A loose spark plug can overheat and cause damage to the engine. Tightening the spark plug too much can damage the thread in the cylinder head. Please provide the following information in the event of any enquiries:

• Data of machine type plate

• Data of motor type plate Important note in the case of repairs: When returning the device for repair, please ensure for safety reasons that it is free of oil and fuel when it is sent to the service centre.

m DANGER! Risk of fire and explosion! Storing the product near potential sources of ignition can result in a fire or an explosion. This leads to severe burns or death. - Eliminate possible sources of ignition, such as furnaces, hot water boilers with gas, gas dryers, etc. NOTE! Risk of damage! If the product is not stored properly, the engine can be dam- aged. - Store the product protected against dirt, dust and moisture.

14.1 Storage during extended breaks in

operation: If the plate vibrator will not be used for a period of more than 30 days, follow the steps below to prepare it for storage.

1. Empty the fuel tank completely (see section 13.4). Stored

petrol containing ethanol or MTBE becomes stale within 30 days. Stale petrol has a high rubber content and can thus clog the carburettor and restrict the petrol supply.

2. Drain the engine oil from the engine while it is still warm.

Top up with new oil. (See section 13.3.)

3. Use clean cloths to clean the plate vibrator.

m Do not use aggressive or oil-based cleaning agents when cleaning the plastic parts. Chemi- cals can damage plastics.

4. Store the plate vibrator in an upright position in a clean,

dry building with good ventilation. Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and frost- free place that is inaccessible to children.
