14.4 Special safety instructions for the operation of ZI-RPE125

  • The machine is designed to be operated by one person. Always operate the machine from behind. Never stand next to or in front of the machine when the engine is running.
  • Longer continuous use of the vibratory plate can lead to circulatory disturbances, especially of the hands, caused by vibration. Therefore, take regular breaks from work!
  • Wear suitable protective gloves to reduce the vibration intensity. The hardness of the surface to be treated, personal predisposition to circulatory disorders and low outside temperatures considerably reduce the permitted period of use.
  • When working in or near excavations or building pits, make sure that the walls are stable and do not run the risk of collapsing due to vibration.
  • Keep away from edges and trenches and avoid situations where the vibratory plate could tip over.
  • Excessive noise can cause hearing damage and temporary or permanent hearing loss. Wear hearing protection certified to health and safety regulations to limit noise exposure.
  • Do not increase the regulated idle speed of the engine above 3,500 rpm. This could result in damage to the machine or personal injury.

14.5 Safety instructions for machines with combustion engine

  • Do not touch the engine and/or muffler during operation or immediately after switching off! These areas become hot during operation and can cause burns.
  • Do not touch the spark plug connector when the engine is running (electric shock!).
  • Do not operate the unit in closed areas or in poorly ventilated rooms unless there is adequate ventilation through exhaust fans or hoses. (Risk of suffocation from carbon monoxide!)
  • Do not smoke while the machine is in operation.
  • Do not smoke when refuelling the machine.
  • Refuel the machine only in a well ventilated area.
  • Do not refuel the machine when the engine is running or the machine is still hot.
  • Do not refuel the machine near naked flames.
  • Do not spill fuel when refuelling.
  • Do not crank a gas flooded engine as long as the spark plug is removed- fuel in the cylinder sprays out of the spark plug opening.

  • Do not carry out an ignition spark test on engines if the engine is flooded or gas can be smelled. A stray spark could ignite the vapours.

  • Do not use fuel to clean machine parts, especially indoors. Vapours from fuels may explode.
  • Always keep the area around the muffler free of foreign substances such as leaves, paper, cardboard, etc. A hot muffler could ignite these substances and cause a fire.
  • Close the filler cap after refuelling.
  • Check the fuel line and tank regularly for leaks and cracks. Do not operate the machine if leaks in the fuel system are known.
  • Store fuel only in designated and approved containers.

Too low an oil level will damage the engine and shorten the life of the machine. Therefore, check the engine oil level before every start and top up the engine oil if necessary.

Zipper ZI-RPE125 - NOT ICE - 2

natural_image Close-up of a green industrial machine component with a yellow arrow pointing to a yellow-orange knob, labeled 'symbol image' below (no other text or symbols)

UPPER LIMIT LOWER LIMIT

  1. To check the engine oil level, place the machine on a safe, level surface. Switch off the engine and allow the machine to stand for ten minutes so that the circulating oil can collect in the oil pan.
  2. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth or a non-fibrous paper towel.

  3. Push the dipstick into the opening, but do not screw it in. (Make sure that the dipstick has really been pushed in completely).

  4. Pull out the oil dipstick again and read off the oil level. There are two markings for this - see illustration on the left.

  5. If the oil level is low, refill the recommended oil up to the upper edge (maximum filling volume: approx. 0.5 litres).

  6. Push in the oil dipstick again and tighten.

15.3.2 Checking the fuel tank level

NOT ICE

Zipper ZI-RPE125 - NOT ICE - 1

Observe the safety regulations for fuel control. Filter the fuel during refuelling to prevent foreign particles from entering the combustion chamber. Wipe up leaked fuel.

  1. Screw on the tank cap (sits on the fuel tank).
  2. Level check in the form of a visual inspection. If necessary, top up with fuel with the appropriate octane number (RON 95).
  3. Close the fuel filler cap tightly after refuelling.

16 OPERATION

  • Save the working environment before you start compressing.
  • Only put the machine into operation after you have read and understood the safety instructions and carried out the necessary measures before initial commissioning.
  • The correct moisture content of the soil is very important for correct compaction. Compaction of dry materials is facilitated by moistening the material. Too much moisture, on the other hand, leaves water-filled cavities which weaken the load-bearing capacity of the soil.
  • Wetness or excessive irrigation can lead to overloading and engine death.

16.1 Information on Initial Start-up

NOTICE

Zipper ZI-RPE125 - NOTICE - 1

Note that the machine is delivered without fuel and engine oil. Make sure that this equipment is filled up before the machine is put into operation for the first time. ATTENTION: The machine does not start until the engine oil has been refilled to the upper limit.

16.1.1 Test Run Initial Start-up

  • Let the machine run idle for about 3 minutes.
  • Pay attention to abnormal noises.
  • Pay attention to the exhaust fumes (too black, too white)?

16.1.2 Notes on the first 20 operating hours

In order to optimize the life expectancy of your machine, the following points should be observed:

  • Do not operate the engine for the first 20 operating hours @ maximum load (this also applies to used engines after extensive maintenance). This means lower speed and lower maximum working load than during normal operation.
  • Change the engine oil after the first 20 hours of operation.

16.2 Operating Instructions

  • Never use the recoil-starter while the engine is running. This will damage the engine.
  • The pull mechanism for changing the engine speed is limited by an adjusting screw. This is factory set. Never change this setting on your own, you could overload the motor.
  • Do not operate the machine on slopes of more than 20^ , as even with an optimum oil level the engine may not be supplied with sufficient lubrication.
  • In the direction of the vibratory plate and within a range of one meter around the vibrator, nobody but the operator must stand.
  • During the compaction the soil should first be compacted about 10 to 15 cm inside the edge two to three times, then the edge should be compacted.
  • When working inside the building, the vibrating plate or eccentric block must not attach the walls.
  • If several vibrator plates are used simultaneously on one surface, the parallel distance between the machines should not be less than five metres and the distance between the front and rear machines should not be less than ten metres.
  • If the machine is working in an environment e.g. on soft or uneven ground, make sure to reduce the horsepower to the lowest level to prevent the machine from sinking. On slopes (max. 20° allowed!!!), make sure that the machine does not tilt.
    • Pay particular attention to the following particularly dangerous areas:

- During tunnel work, good ventilation must be provided to prevent accidents. In addition, the ventilation must be monitored.

16.3 Starting the Machine

17.4 Cleaning the air filter

PAPER FILTER ELEMENT FOAM FILTER ELEMENT

A contaminated air filter can contribute to problems starting the machine, loss of performance during operation and shorten engine life.

Zipper Machines does not accept any liability for engine damage caused by failure to clean the air filter regularly.

To clean the air filter, first loosen the wing nut on the air filter housing, remove the cover (foam filter element) and remove the air filter cassette (paper filter element). Clean both elements mechanically with a soft brush.

If only the air filter cassette is to be cleaned, blow a dry jet of compressed air from the inside against the filter until all dust has been removed.

An air filter change is necessary when:

  • The engine power drops and the fuel consumption increases at the same time.
    • the oil consumption increases
    • the starting of the engine becomes more difficult

17.5 Checking and replacing V-belt and coupling

WARNING

Zipper ZI-RPE125 - WARNING - 1

Warning of danger of detection/trapping in! Never attempt to check the V-belt while the engine is running. Your hands could get caught between the V-belt and the clutch. Serious hand injuries are the result.

NO TICE

Zipper ZI-RPE125 - NO TICE - 1

If the vibratory power of the machine - regardless of the number of operating hours - suddenly decreases or stops completely during normal operation, first of all check the V-belt and clutch.

Loose or worn V-belts reduce power transmission efficiency, result in poor compaction performance and shorten the service life of the belt itself. Therefore, always check the V-belt tension at the specified intervals.

17.5.1 Checking the V-belt tension

S V-BELT CORRECT V-BELT TENSION 10-15 MM WHEN DEPRESSED AS SHOWN.

  1. Loosen V-belt cover screws (S) and remove them.
  2. Check tension:
    V-belt tension is OK if the belt yields approx. 10 to 15 mm under pressure with thumb and index finger (see illustration on the left). If the V-belt is too loose or too tight, adjust the tension!
  3. Remount V-belt cover after having checked/corrected V-belt tension!

17.5.2 Tensioning the V-Belt

S M

The V-belt is tensioned by moving the engine block on the vibratory plate.

  1. Remove the V-Belt protection cover.
  2. Loosen the four nuts (M) securing the motor unit to the base plate until the motor can be moved with the eccentric discs (S).

a. Discs (S) in upper position = tighten the belt.
b. Discs (S) in lower position = Loosen the belt.

  1. Once the belt has the correct tension, retighten the four nuts securing the motor unit to the base plate.
  2. Finally, retighten the V-belt protection cover.

17.5.3 Changing the V-belt

  1. Loosen the V-belt.
  2. Then pull over the V-belt over the pulleys.
  3. Clean the drive wheels including the V-groove and the inside of the protective cover.
  4. Install the new V-belt and tension the V-belt again.
  5. Finally, reattach the V-belt protective cover.

17.5.4 Checking the clutch

Check the clutch at the same time as the V-belt. With the belt removed, visually check the outside for seizure and the "V" groove for wear and damage. Clean the V-groove as required. If the clutch shoe is worn, the power transmission becomes insufficient.

17.6 Cleaning the spark plug

  1. Pull out the spark plug cap and remove impurities from the outside of the spark plug.
  2. Unscrew the spark plug using the spark plug wrench.
  3. Check the ceramic insulation, clean the electrodes (metal tips) and check the distance between the contacts. It should be 0.7 to 0.8 mm.
  4. Reinstall the cleaned (or replaced) spark plug and replace the spark plug cap.

22 ERSATZTEILE / SPARE PARTS

(EN) With ZIPPER spare parts you use spare parts that are ideally matched to each other. The fitting accuracy of the parts shortens their installation time and increases the service life of the machine.

NO TE

The installation of parts other than original spare parts leads to the loss of the guarantee! Therefore, when replacing components/parts, only use original spare parts!

When ordering spare parts, please use the service form at the end of this manual. Always state machine type, spare part number and designation. In order to avoid misunderstandings, we recommend enclosing a copy of the spare part drawing with the spare part order, on which the required spare parts are clearly marked.
