Product Information

Full details

The POLLOR Petrol Wacker Plate Compactor is designed for construction professionals, landscapers, and serious DIYers who require a reliable tool for compacting soil, sand, and gravel. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-powered 78.5cc 4-stroke engine and a portable design, allowing for effective surface preparation on patios and driveways without the need for mains electricity. Users should be aware that the unit does not include necessary 4-stroke engine oil in the box, requiring a separate purchase before the first operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Initial Setup: Before starting, add the appropriate amount of 4-stroke engine oil through the filler cap. Check the fuel tank and add fresh unleaded petrol.
  2. Routine Care: After every use, clear dirt and debris from the steel plate. Check the air filter for dust buildup and replace it if necessary to maintain engine efficiency.
  3. Storage: Always turn the fuel tap to the off position when not in use. If storing for more than 30 days, drain the fuel tank to prevent carburetor gumming.
  4. Handling: When using the wheel kit, ensure the machine is balanced correctly before tilting to prevent it from slipping.
