Figure 2 illustrates the location of the major components for
the MVH406DSZ/DS2CPAS Reversible Plate Compactor.
The function of each component is described below:
1. – When operating the compactor use this
hand grip to maneuver the compactor.
2. – 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).
3. – When operating the compactor, this
handle is to be in the downward position. When the
compactor is to be stored, move the handle bar to
the upright position.
4. - Used to lift the machine with crane or
other lifting device.
5. Stopper - Locks the handle in place in the upward
position for stowing.
6. Engine – This plate compactor uses a ROBIN
D1B40T92040 diesel engine. Refer to the owner’s
manual for engine information and related topics.
7. - This unit uses a 12-volt battery. See
maintenance of this manual for proper care of battery.
8. – Remove this cover to gain access to the
V-belts. run the compactor without the V-belt
cover. If the V-belt cover is not installed, the possibility
exist that your hand may get caught between the V-belt
and clutch, thus causing serious injury and bodily harm.
9. – Designed to compact sand, clay, and
asphalt.
10. – Fill with Shell Tellus Oil 46 or equivalent
grade hydraulic oil.
11. – Encloses the eccentric, gears and
counter weights.
12. – Activated by moving the travel
lever. The cylinder controls the direction of movement
by the plate compactor.
13. – Protects plate compactor from
damage by absorbing vibration during operation.
14. – Controls speed of the plate
compactor. Place straight vertically to start, push fully
counterclockwise for full throttle and fully clockwise to
stop plate compactor.
15. – Provided for electric start
models only.
16. COMPAS – Compaction Analysing System, monitors
soil stiffness. Available only on the MVH406DSCPAS.
