Routine Service Intervals

Due to the nature and environment of use, plate compactors could be exposed to severe operating

conditions. Some general maintenance guidelines will extend the useful life of your machine.

• The initial service for your compactor should be performed after 25 hours of use, at which time your

mechanic (or authorized repair shop) should complete all of the recommended checks in the schedule

above. The chart on page 6 (six) is handy for keeping a record of the maintenance performed and the parts

used for servicing your compactor.

• Regular service according to the schedule above will prolong the life of the plate compactor and prevent

expensive repairs.

• Keeping your plate compactor clean and free from debris is the single most important regular maintenance

operation, over and above the checks in the service schedule above, that can be performed. After each use

your compactor should be cleaned to remove any dust and debris from the undercarriage and surrounding

components. Use of a power washer will make clean up quick and easy, especially if a non-stick coating

was applied prior to use.

• In the Service Schedule above, items that should be checked, replaced or adjusted are indicated by “o” in

the appropriate column. Not all plate compactor models include the same features and options and as such

not all service operations may have to be performed. For ease of recording place a checkmark (√) through

the “o” when the item is complete. If an item is not required or not completed place an “x” through the “o” in

the box.

• All compactors have governed engine speed of 3600 rpm. See engine manufacturer’s manual for exact

specifications. Care should be used when making any adjustments to the compactor not to change the

governed speed. Running the engine at lower rpm’s will result in a decrease of compaction force and lower

travel speed. It will create excessive “out-of-synch” vibrations resulting in poor compaction, maneuverability,

excessive wear to the machine, and discomfort to the operator.

• Failure to have your vibratory plate compactor regularly serviced and properly maintained in accordance with

the manufacturer’s instructions will lead to premature failure and void the warranty.
