3. Components mésview
Familiarize yourself with the main components of your Scheppach HP1800S compactor.

The compactor consists of a robust frame, a powerful gasoline engine, a vibrating plate, and an ergonomic handle for control. Key components include the fuel tank, oil fill cap, air filter, throttle control, and spark plug.

4. Configuració
Before first use, some assembly and preparation are required.
4.1 Muntatge
- Muntatge del mànec: Attach the operating handle to the main frame using the provided bolts and nuts. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Transport Device: The compactor includes a travel device for easy movement. Attach the transport wheels to the designated points on the frame.
- Rubber Mat (Optional): For paving work or delicate surfaces, attach the rubber mat to the base plate. This protects the surface from scratches and damage during compaction.


4.2 Combustible i petroli
- Oli de motor: Fill the engine crankcase with the recommended engine oil (refer to specifications for type and capacity). Check oil level before each use.
- Combustible: Fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline. Do not overfill. Ensure the fuel cap is securely tightened.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your compactor.
5.1 Arrencada del motor
- Assegureu-vos que la vàlvula de combustible estigui oberta.
- Move the choke lever to the 'CHOKE' position (cold engine).
- Col·loqueu la palanca de l'accelerador a la posició "RÀPID".
- Estireu fermament la corda d'arrencada fins que el motor arrenqui.
- Un cop el motor s'hagi engegat, moveu gradualment la palanca de l'estrangulador a la posició "RUN".
5.2 Compaction Operation
The compactor is designed for various applications, including:
- Construcció d'habitatges: Compacting foundations and sub-bases.
- Road Construction: Preparing surfaces for pathways and driveways.
- Construction Sites: General site preparation and leveling.
- Crafts/Trades: Various professional compaction tasks.
- Paisatgisme: Compacting soil for gardens, patios, and walkways.

Guide the compactor over the area to be compacted. The machine will move forward automatically. For optimal compaction, overlap each pass slightly. The compactor achieves a compaction depth of 30 cm and applies 23,000 N of pressure.

Proper compaction prevents the subsoil from sinking, ensuring a stable and durable surface.
