1. Tatūnga me te Runanga

Before operating the compactor, ensure all components are properly assembled and checked. Refer to the detailed assembly instructions provided in the separate assembly guide for specific steps.

Takitaki Tuatahi:

1. Wewete ana: Carefully remove the compactor and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
2. Huihui Kakau: Attach the handle securely to the main unit using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are tightened to specification.
3. Taumata Wai:
   • Hinu Mihini: Fill the engine crankcase with the recommended type and amount of engine oil. Do not overfill.
   • wahie: Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean gasoline. Ensure the fuel cap is securely fastened.
4. Tātari hau: Verify the air filter is clean and properly seated.
5. Puru korakora: Check that the spark plug wire is securely connected.

2. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your Powerhorse Plate Compactor.

Ka timata te Mihini:

1. Ensure the compactor is on a level surface.
2. Whakatuwheratia te piha wahie.
3. Nekehia te rīwhi kōkō ki te tūranga 'CHOKE' (mēnā he makariri te mīhini).
4. Nekehia te rīpene whakatere ki te tūranga 'FAST'.
5. Toia te kakau whakaoho whakamuri kia timata ra ano te miihini.
6. Kia tīmata te mīhini, nekehia mārire te rīwhi ārai ki te tūranga 'OMA'.

Compaction Procedure:

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including hearing protection, safety glasses, and sturdy footwear.
• Guide the compactor over the area to be compacted. The single-direction design means 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. The compactor delivers 5,500 VPM and travels at 65 feet per minute, allowing for efficient coverage of up to 6,700 square feet per hour.
• The heavy-duty steel compacting plate (21.5" x 17.7") is designed to deliver 3,950 lbs. of compaction force.

Whakamutua te Miihini:

1. Move the throttle lever to the 'STOP' or 'OFF' position.
2. Katia te piha wahie.
3. Allow the engine to cool down before storage or further maintenance.

3. Tiaki

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your Powerhorse Plate Compactor.

Te Whakahaere Miihini:

• Huringa Hinu: Refer to the engine manual for recommended oil change intervals. Regularly check oil levels before each use. The low oil shutdown feature protects the engine from damage if oil levels drop too low.
• Horoi Tātari Hau: Clean or replace the air filter regularly, especially when operating in dusty conditions. The side air ports are designed to limit debris entry, but regular cleaning is still necessary.
• Puru korakora: Tirotirohia me te horoi i te paraka i ia wa. Whakakapihia mehemea kua mau, kua piro ranei.

Compacting Plate and Belt Maintenance:

• Te horoi: After each use, clean any accumulated dirt or debris from the compacting plate and the underside of the unit.
• Tirohanga whitiki: Periodically inspect the drive belt for wear, cracks, or damage. Replace if necessary. The sealed belt cover protects the clutch and belt.
• Ngā toromoka: Check all nuts, bolts, and fasteners regularly and tighten as needed to ensure structural integrity.
