Health & Safety
Vibration
Some vibration from the compacting operation is transmitted through the handle to
the operator’s hands. Ensure operator rotation and do not exceed the maximum
recommended usage times.
Dust
The compaction process can produce dust, which may be hazardous to your health.
Always wear a mask that is suited to the type of dust being produced.
Fuel
Do not ingest fuel or inhale fuel vapors and avoid contact with your skin. Wash fuel
splashes immediately. If you get fuel in your eyes, irrigate with copious amounts of
water and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Exhaust Fumes
The exhaust fumes produced by this machine are highly toxic and can kill!

California - Proposition 65 Warning
Engine exhaust and some of its constituents, and some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead based paints - Crystalline silica from bricks -Cement and other masonry
products -Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: ALWAYS work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out
microscopic particles.

PRE-START CHECKS
The following pre-start checks must be performed before the start of each work session or after every four
hours of use, whichever is rst. Please refer to the Service and Maintenance section for detailed guidance.
If any fault is discovered, the Vibratory Forward Plate Compactor must not be used until the fault is rectied.
1. Thoroughly inspect the machine for signs of damage, Make sure all guards are in place and secured.
Check for losse bolts and nuts, retighten if necessary.
2. Check hoses, ller openings, drain plugs and other areas for signs of leakage. Fix any leaks before
operating.
3. Check the engine oil level and top up as necessary. Use proper engine oil with the proper viscosity (SAE
10W-30 is recommended).
4. Check the engine fuel level and top us as necessary. Use clean fuel. The use of contaminated fuel may
damage the fuel system.
5. Check the air lter is clean. Excessive dirt/dust accumulation within the lter element will cause erratic
engine operation. Clean the air lter element when it is contaminated (refer to the Service and
Maintenance section).
6. Check for fuel and oil leaks.
START/STOP PROCEDURE
Before starting the engine, make sure that the Safety Switch is in the ON position and the Throttle Lever is
set to the idle position.
1. Take the Vibratory Forward Plate Compactor to where it is required. Use suitable lifting equipment to
position the Vibratory Forward Plate Compactor where it is necessary. Make sure the lifting equipment
has a WLL (Working Load Limit) suitable for the Vibratory Forward Plate Compactor weight. Attach
suitable slings or chains only to the lifting point.
2. Never leave the engine running during transporting, even if it is for a short period of time.
3. Having carried out the checks listed in the ‘pre-start’ section, you may start the engine. EZG
Vibratory Forward Plate Compactors are tted with a centrifugal clutch which allows the engine to run at
idle speed without engaging the exciter and driving the Vibratory Forward Plate Compactor. The
Centrifugal clutch will be engaged as the speed of engine is increased. For correct operation, the engine
speed should be set to maximum, full-open position.
Before Starting Gasoline Engine
4. Check the oil in the engine crankcase. Be sure to maintain the proper level per the engine manufacturer
specications. If the oil is dirty and in need of changing, follow the Engine User Manual instructions.
5. Check the fuel supply. Refer to Engine User Manual.

OPERATIONS
1. Run the engine at full throttle and allow the Plate Compactor to pull itself along at its
normal speed.
2. When operating on an incline it may be necessary to assist the Plate Compactor by
pushing it forward slightly.
3. When operating downhill hold the Plate Compactor back slightly, if it begins to pick up
speed.
4. Depending on the material being compacted, 3 or 4 passes are recommended to achieve
the best compaction.
5. While a certain amount of moisture in the soil is necessary, excessive moisture may
cause soil particles to stick together and prevent good compaction.
6. If soil is extremely wet, allow it to dry somewhat before compacting.
7. If soil is so dry as to create dust clouds while operating Plate Compactor, some moisture
should be added to the ground material to improve compaction. This will also reduce
service to the air lter.
8. When using the Plate Compactor on paving stones, attach a pad to the bottom of the
plate to prevent chipping or grinding surface of stones.
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
The EZG Vibratory Forward Plate Compactors are designed to give many years of trouble free operation.
It is, however, important that the simple regular maintenance listed in this section is carried out. It
is recommended that an approved EZG dealer carry out all major maintenance and repairs. Always
use genuine EZG replacement parts, the use of spurious parts may void your warranty. Before any
maintenance is carried out on the machine, switch o the engine and disconnect the HT lead from the
spark plug. Always set the machine on level ground to ensure any uid levels will be correctly read. Only
use recommended oils.
Do not operate the plate on concrete or on extremely hard, dry, compacted surfaces. The
plate will jump rather than vibrate and could damage both the plate and the engine.
