MVH-120GH — COMPONENTS (PLATE COMPACTOR)
Figure 1. Compactor Controls
Figures 1 and 2 show the location of the controls, indicators and
general maintenance parts. The function of each control is
described below:
1. Breather Cap – Remove this cap to bleed (remove air)
the hydraulic system. When replacing hydraulic oil, use
"Shell Tellus #46 or equivalent".
2. Hand Grip – When operating the compactor use this hand
grip to maneuver the compactor.
3. Handle Lock – Pull handle bar downward (working
position), then pull handle lock to lock handle bar in place.
4. Vibration Case Oil Level Check Plug – Remove this plug
to check the vibration case oil. Oil level should be all the
way up to the filler port. When replacing vibration case oil,
use 10W-30 engine oil.
5. Handle Bar (working position) – When operating the
compactor, this handle is to be in the downward position.
6. Handle Bar (stored position) – When the compactor is
to be
stored
, move the handle bar to the upright position.
7. Gasoline Engine – This plate compactor uses a HONDA
GX160 engine. Refer to the HONDA owner's manual for
engine information.
8. Belt Cover – Remove this cover to gain access to the V-belts.
NEVER run the compactor without the V-belt cover. If the V-
belt cover is not installed, your hand may get caught between
the V-belt and clutch, thus causing serious injury and bodily
harm.
9. Vibration Case – Encloses the eccentric gears and counter
weights.
10. Forward & Reverse Lever –
Push
the lever forward, the
compactor will move in a forward direction.
Pull
the lever
backwards, the compactor will move in backwards direction.
Placing the lever in the middle (midway) will cause the
compactor not to move (neutral).
11. Throttle Control – Move the throttle lever to the
rabbit
position for full throttle (max RPMs). For engine idle, move
the throttle lever to the
turtle
position.
