Husqvarna LG204 Forward and Reversible Plate Compactor F.A.Q.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the Husqvarna LG204 compactor?

The recommended maintenance schedule includes daily checks of engine oil, air filter, and hydraulic hoses; weekly greasing of pivot points; monthly inspection of belt tension; and annual servicing by a qualified technician.

How do I troubleshoot if the compactor does not start?

Ensure the fuel tank is full, check the spark plug for dirt or damage, make sure the choke is in the correct position for starting, and verify that the oil level is sufficient.

Can the LG204 be used on both granular and cohesive soils?

Yes, the LG204 is designed for efficient compaction on both granular and cohesive soils, thanks to its reversible plates and high compaction force.

How should I store the compactor when not in use for extended periods?

Clean the machine thoroughly, drain the fuel tank, change the oil, remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil into the cylinder, and store it in a dry, sheltered place.

What steps should I take if the compactor is vibrating excessively?

Check for loose or damaged parts, ensure the belt tension is correct, inspect the base plate for damage, and verify that the engine mounts are secure.

How do I control the forward and reverse movement on the LG204?

Use the provided control lever to switch between forward and reverse modes, ensuring smooth transitions and effective compaction.

What type of engine oil is recommended for the LG204?

Use SAE 10W-30 or SAE 10W-40 engine oil, depending on the ambient temperature conditions as specified in the user manual.

Is it possible to adjust the compaction force on the LG204?

No, the compaction force is preset and not adjustable. However, using the forward and reverse controls can help manage the compaction process.

What should I do if the compactor's engine stalls frequently during operation?

Check for clogged air filters, ensure proper fuel mixture, inspect the spark plug, and make sure there is no obstruction in the fuel line.

How can I ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the LG204 compactor?

Regularly follow the maintenance schedule, use recommended fuel and oil, clean the machine after each use, and conduct periodic inspections for wear and tear.
