Read the section in the users manual (that came with
your compactor) entitled Operating Controls to become familiarized with the
control panel and function of each selector position and button.
After making sure that the voltage is correct, plug in
the power cord.
Using the key that was shipped with the compactor,
turn the selector switch to AUTO and push the START button. The
compaction plate should make one complete cycle and stop at the top.
(If not, push the emergency stop button and refer to the Troubleshooting
section of the manual.) Cycle the unit several times to make sure that
everything is operating correctly.
With the selector switch turn to AUTO, push the start
button and check to see that the compaction plate stops whenever the loading
door is opened. The compaction plate should not start again until the
loading door is closed and the START button is pushed.
While the compaction plate is cycling, push the
EMERGENCY STOP button to be sure the machine shuts off.
With the compaction plate stopped somewhere in the mid
cycle, turn the selector switch to UP. As long as you hold the switch
in this position the compaction plate should move to the top of the chamber
and stop.
WARNING: Opening the loading
door while the selector switch is turned to UP will not stop the compaction
plate. - KEEP HANDS CLEAR.
