4. Setup and Pre-Operation Checks
Before starting the compactor, perform the following checks to ensure safe and efficient operation.
4.1 Asamblare (dacă este necesar)
The Zipper RPE60 typically comes partially assembled. Attach the handle assembly securely using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
4.2 Alimentarea cu combustibil
- Asigurați-vă că motorul este oprit și răcit.
- Deschideți capacul rezervorului de combustibil.
- Fill the tank with fresh, unleaded petrol (minimum 95 RON). Do not overfill.
- Închideți bine capacul rezervorului de combustibil.
4.3 Engine Oil Check
- Place the compactor on a level surface.
- Locate the oil dipstick/fill cap.
- Remove, wipe clean, reinsert (without screwing in), and remove again to check the oil level.
- Add recommended engine oil (e.g., SAE 10W-30) if the level is low, ensuring it reaches the full mark.
- Securely replace the dipstick/fill cap.
4.4 Verificări generale
- Inspect the air filter for cleanliness. Clean or replace if necessary.
- Check all nuts, bolts, and fasteners for tightness.
- Ensure the compaction plate is clean and free of debris.
- Verify that the throttle control operates smoothly.
5. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your plate compactor.
5.1 Pornirea motorului
- Ensure the fuel valve is open (ON position).
- Aduceți maneta de șoc în poziția „CHOKE” (pentru porniri la rece).
- Move the throttle lever slightly to the "FAST" position.
- Pull the recoil starter handle firmly and smoothly until the engine starts. Do not let the rope snap back.
- După ce motorul pornește, mutați treptat maneta de șoc în poziția „RUN” (funcționare).
- Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before engaging compaction.

- Set the engine speed to the desired level using the throttle. Higher speeds generally result in greater compaction force.
- Guide the compactor slowly and steadily over the material to be compacted.
- Overlap each pass by approximately one-third of the plate width to ensure uniform compaction.
- For optimal compaction, make multiple passes over the same area, gradually increasing the number of passes until the desired density is achieved.
- The recommended compaction depth is up to 150 cm, with a movement speed of 13.8 meters per minute.
- For cohesive soils, it may be beneficial to lightly moisten the surface before compaction.
5.3 Oprirea motorului
- Reduceți turația motorului la ralanti.
- Mutați comutatorul motorului în poziția „OPRIT”.
- Close the fuel valve (OFF position) to prevent fuel leakage.
6. Întreținere
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your Zipper RPE60.
6.1 Întreținere zilnică
- Clean the compactor thoroughly after each use, removing dirt and debris from the plate and engine area.
- Verificați nivelul uleiului de motor.
- Verificați filtrul de aer pentru a depista murdăria excesivă.
- Check for loose fasteners and tighten as needed.
- Inspect the V-belt for wear or damage.
6.2 Întreținere periodică
- Every 25 hours or monthly: Clean/replace air filter. Check spark plug; clean or replace if fouled.
- Every 50 hours or 3 months: Change engine oil. Inspect fuel filter.
