Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Each Use: Clean the compactor thoroughly, including the engine, plate, and exposed parts, to remove dirt, debris, and material buildup. This prevents damage and ensures proper operation.

• Engine Maintenance: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for regular oil changes. Check the air filter periodically and clean or replace it as needed to maintain optimal engine performance. Inspect the spark plug and replace if necessary.

• Fuel System: Always use fresh fuel and drain the fuel tank if storing the machine for a long period to avoid fuel degradation. Check for leaks in the fuel system and ensure the fuel lines are in good condition.

• Compaction Plate Inspection: Regularly inspect the compaction plate for cracks, excessive wear, or damage. Tighten any loose bolts and replace damaged parts immediately to maintain compaction efficiency.

• Lubrication: Apply lubrication to moving parts, including the vibration system and handle pivots, to reduce friction and wear. Follow the recommended lubrication intervals to maintain smooth operation.

• Hydraulic System Care: Check for hydraulic leaks and ensure the fluid level is at the recommended level. Replace any worn or damaged hydraulic components to ensure the hydraulic system functions properly.

• Belt and Drive System: Inspect the drive belt and system regularly for wear, cracks, or misalignment. Replace any worn or damaged belts to avoid further issues with operation.

• Tire and Handle Check: Examine the tires for damage, wear, or deflation. Ensure they are properly inflated and replace if necessary. Inspect the handle for stability and tighten any loose parts.

• Monitor Operation: Pay attention to the machine during operation. If you notice a decrease in compaction force or unusual vibrations, check for mechanical issues and address them immediately.

• Storage: Store the compactor in a clean, dry location away from moisture, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight. Use a cover to protect the machine from dust and debris when not in use.
