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 Gbogbogbo sọwedowo
- Inspect the air filter for cleanliness. Clean or replace if necessary.
- Ṣàyẹ̀wò gbogbo àwọn èèpo, àwọn bulọ́ọ̀tì, àti àwọn ohun tí a fi so mọ́ ọn fún bí ó ṣe le tó.

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your plate compactor.
5.1 Bibẹrẹ Engine
- Ensure the fuel valve is open (ON position).
- Gbé ìdènà ìdènà náà sí ipò "CHOKE" (fún ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ òtútù).
- 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.

Nọmba 5.2: Omiiran view of the Zipper RPE60 in operation, showing the operator's stance and control of the handle.
- 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 Idekun Engine
- Reduce the engine speed to idle.
- Move the engine switch to the "OFF" position.
- Close the fuel valve (OFF position) to prevent fuel leakage.
6. Itọju
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your Zipper RPE60.
6.1 Daily Itọju
- Clean the compactor thoroughly after each use, removing dirt and debris from the plate and engine area.
- Ṣayẹwo ipele epo engine.
- Inspect air filter for excessive dirt.
- Check for loose fasteners and tighten as needed.
- Inspect the V-belt for wear or damage.
6.2 Igbakọọkan Itọju
- 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.

- Ọdọọdún: Full service by a qualified technician.
6.3 Ibi ipamọ
For long-term storage, drain the fuel tank and carburetor. Remove the spark plug and add a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder, then pull the recoil starter a few times to distribute the oil. Store the compactor in a clean, dry place.
