4. Podešavanje i provjere prije rada
Before starting the compactor, perform the following checks to ensure safe and efficient operation.
4.1 Montaža (ako je potrebno)
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 Punjenje goriva
- Provjerite je li motor isključen i hladan.
- Otvorite poklopac rezervoara za gorivo.
- Fill the tank with fresh, unleaded petrol (minimum 95 RON). Do not overfill.
- Čvrsto zatvorite čep rezervoara za gorivo.
4.3 Engine Oil Check
- Place the compactor on a level surface.
- Pronađite mjernu šipku za ulje/čep za punjenje.
- 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.
- Čvrsto vratite mjernu šipku/čep za punjenje.
4.4 Opće provjere
- 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. Uputstvo za upotrebu
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your plate compactor.
5.1 Pokretanje motora
- Ensure the fuel valve is open (ON position).
- Pomaknite ručicu čoka u položaj "ČOK" (za hladan start).
- Move the throttle lever slightly to the "FAST" position.
- Čvrsto i glatko povucite ručku startera dok se motor ne pokrene. Ne dozvolite da se uže povuče unazad.
- Nakon što se motor pokrene, postepeno pomaknite ručicu čoka u položaj "RUN".
- Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before engaging compaction.
5.2 Compaction Procedure

- 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 Zaustavljanje motora
- Smanjite broj okretaja motora na prazan hod.
- Pomaknite prekidač motora u položaj "ISKLJUČENO".
- Close the fuel valve (OFF position) to prevent fuel leakage.

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your Zipper RPE60.
6.1 Dnevno održavanje
- Clean the compactor thoroughly after each use, removing dirt and debris from the plate and engine area.
- Provjerite nivo motornog ulja.
- Pregledajte filter zraka na prekomjernu prljavštinu.
- Provjerite ima li labavih pričvršćivača i zategnite ih po potrebi.
