During normal operation you should not have to push the compactor but allow it to travel at its own pace. The speed of travel will be determined by the condition of the surface being compacted. Caution must be used when operating the compactor in reverse. Ensure that there are no obstructions or trip hazards when operating in reverse.

• Work the compactor over the surface in an organised pattern until the required compaction has been achieved.
