The Mikasa MVC-64E/EW 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.
The MVC-64E/W is small and lightweight. It can be easily
handled by one person in confined areas. It has an accessible
front-mounted vibrator assembly. The sealed belt cover keeps
dirt and rocks away from the belt.
Vibratory Plate
The vibratory plate of the compactor produces 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 of 5,600 vpm
(vibrations per minute). The travel speed of the compactor is
approximately 82 ft./minute (25 meters/minute).

position.
Always move the throttle lever
quickly without hesitation, because
increasing the engine speed slowly
causes the clutch to slip.
5.Compactor traveling speed may drop on soils which contain
clay, however there may be cases where traveling speed
drops because the compaction plate does not leave the
ground surface easily due to the composition of the soil. To
rectify this problem do the following:
z
Check the bottom plate to see if clay or
equivalent material has been lodged in the plate
mechanism. If so, wash with water and remove.
z
Remember the compactor does not work as
efficiently on clay or soils that have a high
moisture content level.
z
If the soil has a high moisture level, dry soil to
appropriate moisture content level or carry out
compaction twice.
3.Firmly gasp the compactor's handle bar with both hands , the
compactor will begin moving forward.
4.Slowly walk behind the compactor and be on the lookout for
any large objects or foreign matter that might cause damage
to the compactor or bodily injury.

years.
Daily Service
z
Check for leakage of fuel or oil.
z
Remove soil and clean the bottom of compaction plate.
z
Check engine oil, see page 16.
z
Check for loose screws including tightness. See Table 7
below (tightening torque ), for retightening:
1.When changing the vibrator oil, remove the drain plug
(Figure 7), 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.
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.
2. Adjust the spark gap to 0.028 ~0.031 inch (0.6~0.7 mm). This
unit has electronic ignition, which requires no adjustments.
Figure 23. Spark Plug Gap
Engine Air Cleaner
1.Remove the air cleaner cover and foam filter element as
shown in Figure 24.
2.Wash the foam filter element in kerosene or diesel fuel.
Then saturate it in a mixture of 3 parts kerosene or diesel
fuel and 1 part engine oil. Completely squeeze the element to remove the mixture and reinstall it back into the
air cleaner.
l
NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running.
Severe injury can occur if your hand (Figure 8) gets caught
between the V-belt and the clutch. Always use safety gloves.
Whenever the compactor's vibration becomes weak or lost
during normal operation regardless of operation hours,
check the V-belt and clutch immediately.
z
Replacing the V-belt
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.
z
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.
CAUTION
CAUTION
z
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.
