OIL DRAIN HOSE
Running the engine with dirty oil can cause premature
engine wear and failure. Changing oil regularly is extremely
important. The exible oil drain hose is equipped to drain
oil into appropriate receptacle. (See
Figure 6
)
EXCITER
An eccentric weight mounted on the exciter shaft
contained within exciter housing is driven at high
speed by a clutch and belt drive system. This high
speed shaft revolution causes the rapid lifting and
downward ramming motion of the machine as well as
imparting a forward motion.
OPERATION
1. Make sure the compactor is on a at, level surface.
3. Using a funnel, add oil up to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
Gasoline is highly ammable and explosive. You can
be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
Use extreme care when handling gasoline.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, never indoors. Gasoline
vapors can ignite if they collect inside an enclosure.
Explosion can result.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Check engine oil level daily and
add as needed.
The engine is shipped without oil. Do not start the
engine before adding oil.
