Equipment operated improperly or by untrained personnel can be dangerous! Read the operating instructions and familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all instruments and controls. Inexperienced operators should receive instruction from someone familiar with the equipment before being allowed to operate the jumping jacks compactor.

Here are some things to be aware of when operating the machine:

-Never operate jumping jacks compactor in applications for which it is not intended.

-Never use accessories or attachments for the jumping jacks compactor. Damage to the jumping jacks compactor and/or injury to user may occur.

Special care is required when working on uneven ground or when compacting coarse material. Make sure to stand firmly when operating the machine under such conditions.

-Always operate the jumping jacks compactor in such a way that there is no danger of it turning over or falling in, when working near the edges of breaks, pits, slopes, trenches and platforms.

Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order for the equipment to operate safely and properly over a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.

2. Operation

Application

Jumping jacks compactor are designed to compact loose soils and gravel to prevent settling and to provide a firm, solid base for the placement of footings, concrete slabs, foundations, gas piping works, water pipe works, and cable backfill works, etc.

Structure

The top end is made up of the engine, Clutch, Connecting Rod, Operating Handle, and Fuel Tank that connects via Shock Absorbing Rubber to the body. The bottom end is made up of Spring Cylinder (Sliding part), Foot Plate that ramps body, Foot and Bellows.

 Operation

1.Turn the choke lever to open the choke. Run the engine for 5 minutes at low speed to warm the engine.

2.Move the throttle lever quickly to the “FULL OPEN” position. Do not move the throttle lever slowly as this may cause damage to the clutch or spring.Make sure that the throttle lever is moved to the FULL OPEN position. Operating the jumping jacks compactor at less than full speeds can result in damage to the clutch springs or foot.

3.After starting the tamping action, adjust the jumping motion to suit the particular soil condition by lightly controlling the throttle lever. When the engine speed falls between the set values shown on the engine, your work can be carried out at the best efficiency. Increasing the engine speed unnecessarily does not cause the compaction force to increase. On the contrary, a resultant resonance causes the compaction force to decrease, damaging the machine.

4.Under cold weather, the oil in the machine may become viscous, causing the tamping rammer to perform somewhat irregular movement. It is recommended to perform a warm-up run while moving the throttle lever repeatedly between ON and OFF positions, before beginning to work.

5.Soil contacting surface of the foot is lined with heat-treated metal sheet for extra strength. However, for compacting cobblestone, use the filling-up soil for example so that the foot hits the soil uniformly.

6.The tamping jumping jacks compactor has been designed to advance while jumping. For quicker advance, erect the machine by pushing its handle down slightly so that flat surface of the foot at its rear-end contacts the ground.

7.To stop the tamping action, move throttle lever quickly from the FULL OPEN to IDLE position.
