Applications/materials fall into three categories:
1. Cohesive materials (less than 20% granular) e.g clay, silt & heavy soils.
2. Granular materials (more than 20% granular) e.g hard core, sand & light soils.
3. Bituminous materials e.g asphalt (tarmac), cold lay (bitumin emulsion products).
The chart shows the HAUC speci cations for layer depth and number of passes for Dual Force' plates. If standard machines are used,
optimum compaction can not be guaranteed, however, if layer depths are reduced and number of passes increased, results can be
improved.
Moisture content of cohesive & granular materials is critical to effective compaction. If granular material is too dry it will ow around
the plate instead of compacting. If the moisture content is too high the material may dry out after compaction and shrinkage will occur.

** The nature of cohesive materials makes plate compaction dif cult. Optimum compaction is not guaranteed and not
recommended by HAUC.

maintenance, service or repairs.
Honda GX120 & GX160
1.
Open the fuel tap by moving the fuel ON / OFF lever fully to the right.
2.
If starting the engine from cold, set the choke ON by moving the choke lever fully
to the left. If restarting a warm engine, the choke is usually not required, however,
if the engine has cooled to a degree, partial choke may be required.
3.
Turn the engine ON / OFF switch clockwise to the 'I' position.
4.
Set the throttle to the idle position by moving the throttle lever fully to the right. Do
not start the engine on full throttle, as the compactor will vibrate as soon as the
engine starts.
5.
Taking a rm hold of the control handle with one hand, grasp the recoil starter
handle with the other. Pull the recoil starter until engine resistance is felt, then
let starter return.
6.
Taking care not to pull the starter's rope fully out, pull the starter handle briskly.
7.
Repeat until the engine res.
8.
Once the engine res gradually set the choke lever to the OFF position by moving it to the right.
9.
If the engine fails to re after several attempts, follow the trouble-shooting guide on page 8.
10. To stop the engine, set the throttle to idle and turn the engine ON / OFF switch anticlockwise to the '0' position.
11. Turn the fuel off.
Hatz 1B20-7 Diesel Engine (please refer to the engine manual for full details)
1.
Turn ON the fuel by moving the fuel ON/OFF lever fully to the right.
2.
Set the engine speed control to start.
3.
Taking a rm hold of the control handle with one hand, grasp the recoil starter handle with the other. Pull the handle until
engine resistance is felt, then let the starter return.
4.
Taking care not to pull the starter's rope fully out, pull the starter handle briskly with both hands.
5.
Repeat this procedure until the engine res.
6.
If the engine fails to start after several attempts, consult the engine manual supplied with the compactor.
7.
To stop the engine, set the throttle control to idle, then press and hold the red stop button until the engine stops.
