Vibrator Oil Check
1. Place the MVC-40Gplate compactor horizontally on a flat
surface. Make sure the compactor is level when checking the
oil in the vibrator assembly.
2. Check vibrator oil level by removing the plug (vibrator oil gauge)
as shown in Figure 10. The oil level should be up to the oil plug.
If oil is required, replace using only SAE 10W-30 motor oil.
NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running.
Severe injury can occur if your hand (Figure 7) gets caught
between the V-belt and the clutch. Always use safety gloves.
