See Features Below

• Robust throttle controls – Why should you have to bend over and run next to your machine to make it stop? You’ll find conveniently mounted throttle controls standard on every piece of compaction in our lineup

• Retractable Wheel kits – make it much easier to move your equipment to the site. Flip them down and roll. They simply lock up when you don’t need them

• Lifting bales – Maybe your work site is far off the beaten path? Every plate has a robust lifting bale to make it easier to move your equipment when a wheel kit won’t do

• Close to the Edge – Need to compact close to an edge? You can get right up against it with our straight-edge plate design

• Sealed belt guards – Sometimes a single rock is all it takes to throw a belt. Our new sealed cover design keeps rocks out and still cools properly

Maintenance Tips

• Change Engine Oil: Check the engine oil regularly and replace it according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure smooth engine operation and longevity.
• Inspect Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter to prevent dirt and debris from entering the engine, which can reduce performance and damage components.
• Check Spark Plug: Inspect the spark plug for carbon buildup and wear. Clean or replace it as necessary to ensure easy starting and efficient engine operation.
• Monitor Fuel System: Drain stale fuel and check the fuel system for clogs or blockages, especially after long periods of non-use.
• Inspect the Compaction Plate: Examine the compaction plate for cracks, damage, or wear. Ensure it’s free from dirt and debris to maintain effective compaction.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Regularly lubricate all moving parts such as the exciter mechanism, handle pivot points, and other components to reduce friction and wear.
• Check Vibration Isolators: Inspect the vibration mounts for signs of wear or damage, and replace them if they are loose or worn out.
• Tighten Bolts and Fasteners: Inspect all bolts, nuts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight, especially after prolonged use, to prevent parts from loosening.
• Clean After Use: Clean the compactor thoroughly after each use to remove dirt, debris, and moisture, which can cause rust or operational issues.
• Annual Inspection: Schedule an annual professional service to ensure all components are in good working condition, and replace any worn parts or fluids
