Figures 1 and 2 shows the location of the controls, indicators
and general maintenance parts. The function of each control is
described below:

the hydraulic system. When replacing hydraulic oil, use
"Shell Tellus #46 or equivalent".
2. Hand Grip – When operating the compactor use this hand
grip to manuever the compactor.
3. Handle Lock – Pull handle bar downward (working
position), then pull handle lock to lock handle bar in place.
4. Vibration Case Oil Level Check Plug – Remove this plug
to check the vibration case oil. Oil level should be all the
way up to the filler port. When replacing vibration case oil,

5. Handle Bar (working position) – When operating the
compactor, this handle is to be in the downward position.
6. Handle Bar (stored position) – When the compactor is
to be
stored
, move the handle bar to the upright position.

8. Belt Cover – Remove this cover to gain access to the V-

the V-belt cover is not installed, the possibility exist that
your hand may get caught between the V-belt and clutch,
thus causing serious injury and bodily harm.

counter weights.

Push
the lever forward, the
compactor will move in a forward direction,
pull
