Muntatge i muntatge
Desembalatge i inspecció inicial:
Carefully remove the compactor from its packaging. Inspect all components for any signs of shipping damage. If any damage is found, contact your dealer immediately.
Instruccions de muntatge:
Assembly typically involves attaching the handle and the transport wheels. Refer to the included hardware and diagrams for specific bolt and nut placements.
- Attach the main handle assembly to the compactor frame using the provided bolts and nuts. Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened.
- Mount the transport wheels to their designated brackets. These wheels are designed to fold up for operation and down for transport.
- Connect the throttle cable to the engine carburetor and secure it to the handle.

Fuel and Oil Requirements:
The engine is shipped without oil. It is critical to add the correct type and amount of engine oil before the first start-up. Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
- Oli de motor: Fill the engine crankcase with 10W-30 engine oil to the upper mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
- Combustible: Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline. Do not use E85 fuel.

Funcionament
Llista de comprovació prèvia a l'operació:
- Comproveu el nivell d'oli del motor.
- Comproveu el nivell de combustible.
- Inspeccioneu la neteja del filtre d'aire.
- Assegureu-vos que tots els elements de fixació estiguin ben ajustats.
- Verify the transport wheels are in the raised position for compaction.
Arrencada del motor:
- Move the fuel valve to the 'ON' position.
- Move the choke lever to the 'CLOSED' position (for cold starts).
- Moveu la palanca de l'accelerador a la posició "RÀPID".
- Gireu l'interruptor del motor a la posició 'ON'.
- Estireu fermament la maneta de l'arrencador de retrocés fins que el motor arrenqui.
- Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the 'OPEN' position.
Compacting Procedure:
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before beginning compaction. Guide the compactor over the area to be compacted, allowing it to move at a steady pace. Overlap passes slightly to ensure uniform compaction. For best results, compact in layers, typically 4-6 inches deep, and make multiple passes.
Aturar el motor:
- Move the throttle lever to the 'SLOW' position and allow the engine to idle for a moment.
- Gireu l'interruptor del motor a la posició 'OFF'.
- Move the fuel valve to the 'OFF' position.
