PAGE 22
Operation 4.5 VP 1030A/AW Operation Run the engine at full throttle and allow the plate to pull itself along at its normal speed. When operating on an incline it may be necessary to assist the plate by pushing it forward slightly. When operating downhill hold the plate back slightly, if it begins to pick up speed. Depending on the material being compacted, three or four passes are recommended to achieve the best compaction.
