MVC-88GE/GEW PLATE COMPACTOR — GENERAL INFORMATION
Definition of Plate Compactor
The Mikasa MVC-88GE/GEW is a walk behind, plate compactor
designed for the compaction of sand, mixed soils and asphalt.
This plate compactor is a powerful compacting tool capable of
applying a tremendous force in consecutive high frequency
vibrations to a soil surface. Its applications include compacting
for road, embankments and reservoirs as well as backfilling for
gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable installation work.
Vibratory Plates
The vibratory plates of the MVC-88GE/GEW produce low
amplitude high frequency vibrations, designed to compact
granular soils and asphalt.
The resulting vibrations cause forward motion. The engine and
handle are vibration isolated from the vibrating plate.
Frequency/Speed
The compactor's vibrating plate has a frequency range between
5800 vpm (vibrations per minute). The forward and reverse travel
speed of the compactor is approximately 23 meters/minute (75
ft./minute).
Engine
The Mikasa MVC-88GE/GEW Plate Compactor is equipped with
EX170D40050
an
eccentric weight at a high speed to develop a compaction force.
Always be sure to check the engine oil level prior to starting
the engine.

CHANGING VIBRATOR OIL
MVC-88GE/GEW— MAINTENANCE
■
Replacing the V-belt
1.When changing the vibrator oil, remove the drain plug
located at the bottom-right of the vibrator (Figure 8), and
simply tip the compactor to drain the oil. Note that the oil will
drain more easily while it is hot. Remember to use only
10W-30 motor oil when replacing vibrator oil.
CAUTICAUTI
CAUTION
CAUTICAUTI
NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running.
Severe injury can occur if your hand (Figure 5) gets caught
between the V-belt and the clutch. Always use safety gloves.
Checking and Replacing the V-Belt and Clutch
1.After 200 hours of operation, remove the upper belt cover to
check the V-belt tension. Tension is proper if the belt bends
about 10 mm when depressed strongly with finger between
shafts. Loose or worn V-belts reduces power transmission
efficiency, causing weak compaction and reduces the life of
the belt itself.
CAUTICAUTI
CAUTION
CAUTICAUTI
Whenever the compactor's vibration becomes weak or lost
during normal operation regardless of operation hours, check
the V-belt and clutch immediately.
Remove the upper and lower belt covers. Engage an offset
wrench (13 mm) or the like to vibrator pulley (lower) fastening
bolt. Engage waste cloth or the like at midway of V-belt on the left
side and while pulling it back strongly, rotate the offset wrench
clockwise so that the V-belt will come off.
■
Reinstalling the V-belt
Engage V-belt to lower vibrator pulley and push the V-belt to left
side of upper clutch and, in the same manner as in removal,
rotate offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt goes back on.
■
Checking Clutch
Check the clutch simultaneously with V-belt checking. With belt
removed, check outer drum of the clutch for seizure and "V"
groove for wear or damage with your eyes. Clean the "V" groove
as necessary. Wear of lining or shoe should be checked with
running check. If the shoe is worn, power transmission becomes
deficient and slipping will result.
