Konpozan kle:
- Motè: Petrol-powered engine providing the necessary power for compaction.
- Tank gaz: Located on top of the engine, for petrol storage. Capacity: 3.6 litres.
- Compaction Plate: The heavy base plate that vibrates to compact the material. Dimensions: 35 cm (width) x 51 cm (depth).
- Manch Asanble: For guiding and controlling the compactor.
- Kontwòl gaz: Adjusts engine speed and vibration intensity.
- Demaraj rkul: Pou demarre motè a manyèlman.
- Transpòte wou: For easier movement of the machine when not in operation.
4. Enstalasyon ak Verifikasyon Pre-Operasyon
Before starting the compactor, perform the following checks to ensure safe and efficient operation.
4.1 Assembly (if required)
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 Alimantasyon
- Asire w motè a etenn epi li frèt.
- Louvri bouchon tank gaz la.
- Fill the tank with fresh, unleaded petrol (minimum 95 RON). Do not overfill.
- Fèmen bouchon tank gaz la byen fèm.
4.3 Engine Oil Check
- Mete konpaktè a sou yon sifas ki plat.
- Jwenn bouchon/jauj lwil la.
- 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.
- Remèt bouchon/jauj lwil la byen fèm.
4.4 Chèk jeneral
- Inspect the air filter for cleanliness. Clean or replace if necessary.
- Tcheke tout boulon, nwa, ak eleman fikse yo pou wè si yo byen sere.
- Ensure the compaction plate is clean and free of debris.
- Verify that the throttle control operates smoothly.
5. Operasyon Enstriksyon
Swiv etap sa yo pou w ka itilize konpaktè plak ou a san danje epi avèk efikasite.
5.1 Kòmanse motè a
- Ensure the fuel valve is open (ON position).
- Deplase levye choke a nan pozisyon "CHOKE" (pou demaraj frèt).
- 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.
- Yon fwa motè a kòmanse, deplase levye choke a piti piti nan pozisyon "RUN".
- 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 Sispann motè a
- Diminye vitès motè a nan ralanti.
- Deplase switch motè a nan pozisyon "OFF" la.
- Close the fuel valve (OFF position) to prevent fuel leakage.
6. Antretyen
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your Zipper RPE60.
6.1 Antretyen chak jou
- Clean the compactor thoroughly after each use, removing dirt and debris from the plate and engine area.
- Tcheke nivo lwil motè a.
- Inspect air filter for excessive dirt.
- Check for loose fasteners and tighten as needed.
- Inspect the V-belt for wear or damage.
6.2 Antretyen Peryodik
- 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.
- Every 100 hours or 6 months: Inspect valve clearance (professional service recommended). Clean fuel tank.
- Chak ane: Full service by a qualified technician.
