Operating The Compactor; Troubleshooting Guide - Belle PCX 450 Manual Del Operador

If using the 'Detachable' transport attachment to wheel the unit, tilt the compactor forward to raise the transport wheels off the
ground. Swing the transporter frame back, then across to disconnect it from the rear of the compactor. Place the transporter
frame somewhere safe until next required. For machines with the 'Fixed' transporter tilt the machine forward, pull the
driving the vibrator.
As the engine speed is increased the clutch will engage and will drive the vibrator.
For correct operation, the engine speed should be set to maximum.
The vibrator will not only cause the baseplate to vibrate but will also cause it to travel forward. During normal operation you
should not have to push the compactor but allow it to travel at its own pace. The speed of travel will be determined by the
condition of the surface being compacted.
If the surface to be compacted is on a slope, great care must be taken when controlling the compactor's direction of travel. If
necessary, use a suitable rope attached to the compactor at a low point on the chassis, to allow a helper to take part of the
compactor's weight. Work up and down a slope not across.
Where there are a number of different layers to be compacted on top of each other, compact each layer individually.

Engine will not start.
Engine still will not start.
