• Set the engine speed to the desired level using the throttle. Higher speeds generally result in greater compaction force.
• Guide the compactor slowly and steadily over the material to be compacted.
• Overlap each pass by approximately one-third of the plate width to ensure uniform compaction.
• For optimal compaction, make multiple passes over the same area, gradually increasing the number of passes until the desired density is achieved.
• The recommended compaction depth is up to 150 cm, with a movement speed of 13.8 meters per minute.
• For cohesive soils, it may be beneficial to lightly moisten the surface before compaction.

5.3 Parar o motor

1. Reducir a velocidade do motor ao ralentí.
2. Mova o interruptor do motor á posición "OFF".
3. Close the fuel valve (OFF position) to prevent fuel leakage.
