Opstelling

Before starting the compactor, ensure it is properly set up for safe and effective operation.

2. Fluid Levels Check:
   • Enjin olie: Check the engine oil level using the dipstick. Add recommended oil if necessary.
   • Brandstof: Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean gasoline (unleaded, minimum 87 octane). Do not overfill.
3. Voor-operasie inspeksie:
   • Inspect all bolts and fasteners for tightness.
   • Check the air filter for cleanliness. Clean or replace if dirty.
   • Ensure the vibratory plate is free of debris.
   • Verify that all controls operate smoothly.

Bedryfsinstruksies

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your vibratory plate compactor.

1. Begin die enjin:
   • Maak seker dat die brandstofklep oop is.
   • Set the choke to the "ON" position (if engine is cold).
   • Beweeg die versnellerhefboom na die "VINNIG"-posisie.
   • Trek die terugslagaanjaerhandvatsel stewig totdat die enjin begin.
   • Once started, gradually move the choke to the "OFF" position.
2. Compaction Process:
   • Laat die enjin vir 'n paar minute warm word.
   • Move the throttle to the desired operating speed. Higher speeds increase compaction force.
   • Guide the compactor over the material to be compacted. The WP1550AW is a single directional compactor, meaning it moves forward.
   • Overlap each pass by approximately 2-4 inches to ensure uniform compaction.
   • For optimal results, make multiple passes over the same area, typically 2-4 passes depending on the material and desired density.
3. Stop die enjin:
   • Verminder die enjinspoed tot luier.
   • Draai die enjinskakelaar na die "AF"-posisie.
   • Close the fuel valve for storage or extended periods of non-use.
