Wacker WP 1550AW Vibratory Asphalt Plate, 19.5" Recommended Fuel The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh, clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage fuel system. Consult engine owner's manual for complete fuel specifications. Application This plate is designed for compacting loose, granular soils, gravel, and paving stones. It is intended to be used in confined areas and areas next to structures such as walls, curbs, and foundations. Plates equipped with water tanks can be used for compacting asphalt. This plate is not recommended for compacting cohesive soils with a heavy clay content. For cohesive soil, use a vibratory rammer or sheepsfoot roller. Before Starting Read and understand safety and operating instructions. Check: Oil level in engine. Fuel level. Condition of air cleaner. Tightness of external fasteners. Condition of fuel lines. To Start See Graphic: wc_gr000655 Open fuel valve by moving lever down (a1) . Note: If engine is cold, move choke lever to close position (d2) . If engine is hot, set choke to open position (d1) . Turn engine switch to "ON" (b2) . Open throttle by moving it slightly to left (c2) . Pull starter rope (e) . Note: If the oil level in the engine is low, the engine will not start. If this happens, add oil to engine. Open choke as engine warms (d1) . Open throttle fully to operate (c1) . To Stop See Graphic: wc_gr000655 Reduce engine RPM to idle by moving throttle completely to right (c3) . Turn engine switch to "OFF" (b1) . Close fuel valve (a2) . Operation Run the engine at full throttle and allow the plate to pull itself along at its normal speed. When operating on an incline it may be necessary to assist the plate by pushing it forward slightly. When operating downhill hold the plate back slightly, if it begins to pick up speed. Depending on the material being compacted, three or four passes are recommended to achieve the best compaction. While a certain amount of moisture in the soil is necessary, excessive moisture may cause soil particles to stick together and prevent good compaction. If soil is extremely wet, allow it to dry somewhat before compacting. If soil is so dry as to create dust clouds while operating plate, some moisture should be added to the ground material to improve compaction. This will also reduce service to the air filter. For compacting asphalt, use a water tank to wet the asphalt and the underside of plate. This will prevent asphalt material from sticking. Two passes are usually sufficient to ensure good compaction. When using the plate on paving stones, attach a pad to the bottom of the plate to prevent chipping or grinding surface of stones. A special polyurethane pad designed for this purpose is available as an optional accessory. DO NOT operate the plate on concrete or on extremely hard, dry, compacted surfaces. The plate will jump rather than vibrate and could damage both the plate and the engine.

Operator Safety while using Internal Combustion Engines Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling! Read and follow warning instructions in engine owner's manual and safety guidelines below. Failure to follow warnings and safety guidelines could result in severe injury or death. DO NOT run machine indoors or in an enclosed area such as a deep trench unless adequate ventilation, through such items as exhaust fans or hoses, is provided. Exhaust gas from the engine contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure to carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. DO NOT smoke while operating machine. DO NOT smoke when refueling engine DO NOT refuel hot or running engine. DO NOT refuel engine near open flame. DO NOT spill fuel when refueling engine. DO NOT run engine near open flames. ALWAYS refill fuel tank in well-ventilated area. ALWAYS replace fuel tank cap after refueling. ALWAYS check fuel lines and fuel tank for leaks and cracks before starting engine.
