The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh,

clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage fuel system. Consult engine owner’s manual for complete fuel specifications. 4.2 Before Starting 4.2.1 Read and understand safety and operating instructions at beginning of this manual. 4.2.2 Check: • oil level in engine. • fuel level. • condition of air cleaner. • tightness of external fasteners. • condition of fuel lines. 4.3 To Start See Graphic: wc_gr000014 4.3.1 Open fuel valve by moving lever to the right (a1). Note: If engine is cold, move choke lever to close position (b1). If engine is hot, set choke to open position (b2 ). 4.3.2 Turn engine switch to “ON” (e1). 4.3.3 Open throttle by moving it slightly to left (d1). 4.3.4 Pull starter rope (c). Note: If the oil level in the engine is low, the engine will not start. If this happens, add oil to engine. Some engines are equipped with an oil alert light (f) that will come on while pulling the starter rope. 4.3.5 Open choke as engine warms (b2). 4.3.6 Open throttle fully to operate.

See Graphic: wc_gr000014

4.4.1 Reduce engine RPM to idle by moving throttle completely to right (d2). 4.4.2 Turn engine switch to “OFF” (e2). 4.4.3 Close fuel valve by moving lever to the left (a2). 4.5 Application This plate is designed for compacting loose, granular soils, gravel, and paving stones. It is intended to be used in confined areas and areas next to structures such as walls, curbs, and foundations. Plates equipped with water tanks can be used for compacting asphalt. This plate is not recommended for compacting cohesive soils with a heavy clay content. For cohesive soil, use a vibratory rammer or sheepsfoot roller.

See Graphic: wc_gr000076

Run engine at full throttle and allow plate to pull itself along at its normal speed. When operating on an incline it may be necessary to assist plate by pushing it forward slightly. Depending on the material being compacted, three or four passes are recommended to achieve the best compaction. While a certain amount of moisture in the soil is necessary, excessive moisture may cause soil particles to stick together and prevent good compaction. If soil is extremely wet, allow it to dry somewhat before compacting. If soil is so dry as to create dust clouds while operating plate, some moisture should be added to the ground material to improve compaction. This will also reduce service to the air filter. For compacting asphalt, open water tank valve (a1) to wet asphalt and underside of plate. This will prevent asphalt material from sticking. Two or three passes are usually sufficent to ensure good compaction. When using plate on paving stones, attach a pad to the bottom of the plate to prevent chipping or grinding surface of the stones. A special urethane pad designed for this purpose is available as an optional accessory. CAUTION: DO NOT operate plate on concrete or on extremely hard, dry, compacted surfaces. The plate will jump rather than vibrate and could damage both plate and engine.
