Scheppach HP800S 5904602903 Plate Compactor Specification

The Scheppach HP800S 5904602903 Plate Compactor is engineered for efficient soil compaction in construction and landscaping projects. At its core, the machine is powered by a robust 4-stroke petrol engine, delivering reliable performance for various ground materials. With a compaction force of 11 kN, it efficiently compresses soil, gravel, and sand to achieve a stable foundation. The plate compactor features a compact design with a base plate measuring approximately 530 x 370 mm, allowing for easy maneuverability, especially in confined spaces.

The unit is equipped with a centrifugal clutch that ensures smooth power transmission from the engine to the base plate, optimizing operational efficiency. An ergonomically designed handle minimizes vibration, providing comfort during extended use, while the folding feature facilitates convenient storage and transport. A durable steel frame and protective engine cover enhance the machine's longevity by safeguarding critical components from debris and impact.

The compactor includes a built-in watering system that reduces dust generation, promoting a cleaner and safer working environment. Operating at a speed of 15 meters per minute, the HP800S ensures swift completion of tasks, significantly enhancing productivity. Weighing approximately 53 kilograms, it balances ease of handling with the necessary weight for effective compaction. The machine complies with relevant safety standards, making it a reliable choice for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike. The Scheppach HP800S is designed to meet the demands of rigorous job sites, offering a blend of performance, durability, and user-friendly features.

Scheppach HP800S 5904602903 Plate Compactor F.A.Q.

How do I properly start the Scheppach HP800S plate compactor?

Ensure the fuel tank is filled with the correct fuel. Turn the fuel valve to the "ON" position, set the choke to "CLOSED" if the engine is cold, and pull the starter grip until the engine starts. Once started, gradually move the choke to the "OPEN" position.

What maintenance should be performed regularly on the HP800S?

Regular maintenance includes checking the engine oil level, inspecting the air filter, cleaning or replacing the spark plug, and checking the belt tension. Change the engine oil after the first 20 hours of use, then every 50 hours thereafter.

How can I troubleshoot if the HP800S does not start?

Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage. Ensure the choke is in the correct position for starting. Additionally, check the air filter for clogs and clean if necessary.

What safety precautions should be taken when operating the HP800S?

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including ear protection and gloves. Ensure the working area is clear of debris and bystanders. Never operate the compactor on a slope greater than 20 degrees.

How do I transport the Scheppach HP800S safely?

Turn off the engine and allow it to cool. Secure the compactor on a stable platform using straps or chains to prevent movement during transport. Keep the fuel valve closed and the choke in the "OFF" position.

What should I do if there is excessive vibration during operation?

Check if the compactor is on a stable surface and not on a slope. Inspect the base plate and the exciter for any visible damage or looseness. Tighten any loose bolts and ensure the shock mounts are intact.

How can I clean the air filter of the HP800S?

Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. If it's a foam filter, wash it with mild detergent and water, then allow it to dry completely. If it's a paper filter, tap it gently to remove debris or replace it if it's too dirty.

Why is the compactor not moving forward as expected?

Check the belt for proper tension and wear. If the belt is loose or worn out, adjust the tension or replace it as needed. Ensure the exciter is functioning properly and the base plate is not obstructed.

How can I reduce noise levels during operation of the HP800S?

Ensure all components are securely fastened and the engine is well-maintained to minimize noise. Use ear protection during operation to protect your hearing from inevitable noise.

What fuel type is recommended for the Scheppach HP800S?

Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content to prevent engine damage.
