MVH-120GH — INSPECTION
Before Starting
1. Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual.
2. Clean the compactor, removing dirt and dust. Particularly, the
bottom of the plate, engine cooling air inlet, carburetor and
air cleaner.
3. Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If the air filter is dirty, blow
through the air filter cartridge from the inside, moving a jet of
dry compressed air up and down until all dust is removed.
Otherwise replace air filter with a new one.
4. Check carburetor for external dirt and dust. Clean with dry
compressed air.
5. Check fastening nuts and bolts for tightness. Loosened
screws or bolts due to vibration, could lead to unexpected
accident.
Engine Oil Check
1. To check the engine oil level, place the plate compactor on
secure level ground with the engine stopped.
2. Remove the filler cap/dipstick from the engine oil filler hole
(Figure 3) and wipe it clean.

3. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the filler
neck. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.
4. If the oil level is low (Figure 4), fill to the edge of the oil filler
hole with the recommended oil type (Table 3). Maximum oil
capacity is 400 cc.
Figure 4. Engine Oil Dipstick
The Oil Alert system will automatically stop
the engine before the engine falls below safe
limits. Always be sure to check the engine
oil level prior to starting the engine.
Vibrator Oil Check
1. Place the MVH-120GH horizontally on a flat surface.
2. Check vibrator oil level by removing bolt (vibrator oil gauge)
as shown in Figure 5. Use a 14 mm wrench to remove bolt. The
vibrator oil level should be maintained between the two mark-
ings as shown in Figure 5. If oil is required, replace using SAE
10W-30.
