Troubleshooting

Engine won't start

Check fuel level, ensure the fuel valve is open, and verify the spark plug connection. Check the oil level as the low-oil alert may have triggered a shutdown.

Poor compaction performance

Ensure the plate is clean and free of debris. Check for any damage to the plate. Make sure the engine is running at the correct speed.

Engine runs roughly

Check the air filter and clean or replace it. Inspect the spark plug. Ensure the fuel is fresh and of the correct type.

Compactor plate vibrates excessively

Check for loose bolts and tighten them. Ensure the plate is on a level surface. Inspect the plate for damage and replace if necessary.

Check the fuel level, and oil level. Ensure the engine isn't overheating. Allow the engine to cool down and restart.
