Residual Risks; Proper Use; Installation - Scheppach HP2200S Traducción Del Manual De Instrucciones Original

• Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
• Do not carry passengers. Never leave the operating
position and leave the plate compactor unattended
when the engine is running.
• Always stop the engine when compacting is delayed
or when walking from one location to another.
• Stay away from the edge of ditches and avoid ac-
tions that may cause the plate compactor to topple
over. Always ascend slopes carefully, in a direct path
and in reverse to prevent the plate compactor from
toppling over onto the operator.
• Always park the unit on a firm and level surface and
shut the tool off.
• To reduce exposure to vibration, limit the hours of
operation and take periodic breaks to minimize rep-
etition and rest your hand. Reduce the speed and
force in which you do the repetitive movement.

Residual risks

The machine has been built according to the state of
the art and the recognised technical safety require-
ments. However, individual residual risks can arise
during operation.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the „safety in-
structions" and the „Proper use" are observed along
with the whole of the operating instructions.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine.
• Use the tool that is recommended in this manual.
In doing so, your machine provides optimal perfor-
mance.
• Hands may never enter the processing zone when
the machine is in operation.

Proper use

The plate compactor, for forward or reverse compac-
tion, applies energy to the loose soil or other materials
to increase its density and load bearing capacity, main-
ly used for general road building projects, the land-
scaping sector and in structural engineering. The loose
soil or particles are moved or rearranged in a particular
manner close to each other to avoid any trapped air or
voids. It increases the load bearing capacity, decreas-
es water seepage, prevents soil settlement, reduces
swelling, contraction of the soil and prevents frost dam-
age. It is ideal for compaction of interlocking paving
stones, trenches, landscaping and maintenance.

10. Installation

m ATTENTION!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before start-up!
Hand Grip (2), (fig. A)
When operating the compactor, use this hand grip (2)
to maneuver the compactor.
Throttle Control (1), (fig. A + C)
The throttle lever (1) controls engine speed. Moving the
throttle lever (1) in the directions shown makes the en-
gine run faster or slower.
