purchased due to design changes.
2. Applications, Warnings,
Structure and Power Transmission
Applications
Plate compactor is the machine that compacts the ground and it intends to make the surface smooth, by transmitting vibration through vibrating plate, which power generated from single rotor in vibrator case.
This machine is suitable for making the ground surface smooth, such as leveling the soil and beaching, finishing
the asphalt paving.
Warning about incorrect applications and techniques
This machine is hard to move forward on a soil with much water (especially clay soil). It is not suitable for such
application. This machine is difficult to level a ground include big stones due to insufficient compacting force. Plate
compactor is mainly applied for compacting surface smooth and it is not effective for jobs that requires heavy
compaction. In case of compacting ground deeply into lower layer, it is recommended to use Tamping Rammer,
Vibro Compactor or Vibration Roller of which compacting force is rather effective. Please use this compactor for
compacting surface on soil, sediment, beaching and asphalt. It is not recommended for use this machine for the
other applications.
Structure
The upper part is made up of Power source, Handle, Belt Cover, Water Tank for sprinkling and Guard Hook which
are fixed by Engine Base. The Engine base is fixed on Vibrating Plate by Shock Absorbing Rubber. The lower part
is made up of Vibrating Plate and Vibrator Unit that has an Eccentric rotary shaft built in. The power source is
transmitted from the centrifugal clutch on engine output shaft to the Eccentric rotary shaft through V-belt.
Power transmission
Air-cooled Single Cylinder Engine is amounted as power source and Centrifugal Clutch is fixed on engine output
shaft.
Centrifugal Clutch engages by running up the engine and engine R.P.M. is reduced to suitable number for
compacting. The rotation of engine is transmitted from V-pulley integrated with Clutch Drum to Vibrator Pulley
through V-belt.
Vibrator Pulley rotates Eccentric Rotor Shaft that is contained in Vibrator Case. The generated vibration created
from Eccentric Rotor is transmitted to Vibrating Plate.
Vibration of Vibrating Plate carries the machine forward; the vibration with the weight of the machine makes the
compaction of the ground possible.

4. Safety Precautions
○
○
○
Do not operate the machine,
Read this manual carefully and handle the machine as described to ensure safe
work.
For details about the engine, refer to the separate manual for the engine.
Make sure you understand the structure of the machine well.
For safe work, always wear protective gear (helmets, safety shoes, ear plugs,
etc.) and work in appropriate clothes.
Always check the machine before your work to make sure it is in normal
condition.
Decals on the machine (operation method labels, warning labels, etc.) are very
important for your safety. Keep the machine clean so that the decals can be read
all the time. Replace a decal if it becomes illegible.
Before performing maintenance work, be sure to turn the engine off.
It is very dangerous if children come into close contact with the machine. Have
the utmost concern about how and where to store the machine. In particular, for
an engine with a cell, always remove the starter key and keep it in a designated
place.
Before inspection and maintenance work, stop the engine, and do your work on
a flat surface area. If a cell is attached, remove the battery wiring before your
work.
Mikasa does not accept any responsibility for accidents caused by remodeling or
rework done on the machine.
When adding fuel,
Do not fill to the rim due to potential spillage.
After adding the fuel, tightly close the tank cap.
○ Make sure you work in a well ventilated location.
○ Make sure the engine is stopped and wait until it cools down.
○ Take the machine to a clear flat location without any combustibles nearby.
Be careful not to spill the fuel. Wipe well if any spill occurs.

4.3 Location and Ventilation precautions
4.4 Precautions before starting
4.5 Precautions during work
4.6 Lifting precautions
For unloading using a crane, a licensed crane operator is needed. An operator should be qualified for crane and hooking work.
4.7 Transportation and Storage precautions
Do not run the machine in an unventilated location, such as indoors or inside a
tunnel. The exhaust gas from the engine contains toxic gases such as carbon
monoxide and is very hazardous.
Do not operate the machine near open flames.
Check each part to see if it is tightened properly. Vibration causes loosening of
bolts, which results in unexpected serious malfunctions of the machine. Tighten
the bolts securely.
Before starting the machine, make sure it is safe to start by checking your
surroundings for people and objects.
Always pay attention to your footing. Work in an area where you can maintain a
good balance of the machine and a safe comfortable posture.
The engine and muffler become very hot. Do not touch immediately after the
machine stops because they are still very hot.
If you notice deterioration of machine operation during your work, stop your work
immediately.
Before moving away from the machine, be sure to turn the engine off. Also when
the machine is transported, stop the engine and close the fuel cock.
Before lifting, check the machine parts (especially the hook and anti-vibration
rubber) for any damage and loosened or missing bolts.
Stop the engine and shut the fuel cock while lifting.
Use a wire rope with sufficient strength.
For lifting, use only one point hoisting hook, and do not lift at any other part.
When the machine is hoisted, never let people or animals come underneath.
For safety reasons, do not lift to a height that is higher than necessary.
Stop the engine during transportation.
Transport after the engine and the machine are cooled down.
Always drain the fuel before transporting.
Securely fix the machine to prevent it from moving or falling during
transportation.
