GENERAL INFORMATION
DEFINITION OF PLATE COMPACTOR
The Mikasa MVC82VE/VEW is a walk-behind, one-way
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 soil compacting for road, embankments
and reservoirs as well as backfi lling for gas pipelines, water
pipelines and cable installation work.
VIBRATORY PLATES
The vibratory plates 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.
The heavier the plate, the more compaction force it
generates.
ANTI-VIBRATION HANDLE SYSTEM (AVT)
This compactor is equipped with advanced anti-vibration
handle design that reduces vibration to the operator by up
to 50% compared to other plate compactors.
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 feet/minute (25 meters/
minute).
ENGINE
The plate compactor is equipped with a Robin EX170D40103
air-cooled, 4-stroke, gasoline engine.
WATER TANK
The MVC82VEW is equippped with a removable plastic
water tank (optional for MVC82VE). The tank provides
lubrication to the base plate when compacting asphalt and
may be used for dust control in dry work environments. It
is intended only for use with water.
DO NOT FILL WITH DIESEL FUEL OR GASOLINE AS
THIS CREATES BOTH A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
HAZARD!

OPERATION
OPERATION
Once the engine has started, move the engine throttle 1.
lever quickly to the fast position.
With the throttle lever in the fast position, the engine 2.
speed should be around 2,300 RPM, therefore
engaging the centrifugal clutch.
NOTICE
ALWAYS move the throttle lever quickly without
hesitation, because increasing the engine speed slowly
causes the clutch to slip.
Firmly grasp the compactor's handle bar with both 3.
hands. The compactor will begin moving forward.
Slowly walk behind the compactor and be on the lookout 4.
for any large objects or foreign matter that might cause
damage to the compactor or bodily injury.
Compactor traveling speed may drop on soils which 5.
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:
STOPPING THE ENGINE
CAUTION
NEVER stop the engine suddenly while working at
high speeds.
Place the throttle lever (Figure 13) in slow position, and 1.
listen for the engine speed to decrease.
Place the Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 11) in the 2.
"OFF" position.
Place the fuel valve lever (Figure 10) in the "3. OFF"
position.
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.
Remember the compactor does not work as effi ciently •
on clay or soils that have a high moisture content
level.
If the soil has a high moisture level, dry soil to •
appropriate moisture content level or carry out
compaction twice.

Check hydraulic pump, piping and hose for any leakage. 4.
A loosened hydraulic hose can be a cause for leakage.
Check hydraulic hose connections with wrench applied
for tightness.
Check engine oil.5.
ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT
Replace engine oil, in fi rst 20 hours of operation and 1.
every 100 hours afterwards.
Oil may be drained more easily when it is warm after 2.
operation (For more details, see separate engine
Owner's Manual).
AIR FILTER
Remove the air cleaner cover and foam fi lter element 1.
as shown in Figure 15.
Clean foam element in warm, soapy water or 3.
nonfl ammable solvent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Dip
the element in clean engine oil and completely squeeze
out the excess oil from the element before installing.
CHECKING AND REPLACING V-BELT AND CLUTCH
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 fi nger between
shafts. Loose or worn V-belts reduce power transmission
effi ciency, causing weak compaction and reducing the life
of the belt itself.
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.

Tap the paper fi lter element (Figure 15) several times on 2.
a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air
[not exceeding 30 psi (207 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm2)] through
the fi lter element from the air cleaner case side.
Engage V-belt to lower vibrator pulley and push the V-belt
to left side of upper clutch. 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, visually check outer drum of the clutch for
seizure and "V" groove for wear or damage. Clean the "V"
groove as necessary. Regularly check the lining or shoe
for wear. If the shoe is worn, power transmission becomes
defi cient and slipping will result.
NOTICE
Whenever the compactor's vibration becomes weak or
lost during normal operation, regardless of operation
hours, check the V-belt and clutch immediately.

MAINTENANCE
VIBRATOR OIL LEVEL CHECK
In every 300 hours of operation, with the machine 1.
positioned horizontally, remove vibrator oil level check
plug (Figure 6) off vibrator (14 mm wrench) and see
if oil is up to fi ller port. Be sure to clean area around
check hole to prevent dirt and dust from entering.
In every 300 hours of operation, replace oil (capacity 2.
400 cc). For draining oil through level check hole, have
the machine inclined with a sleeper or the like placed
under the compaction plate on opposite side.
* Use engine oil 10W-30 for this lubrication.
NOTICE
Always clean the area around the vibrator oil level check
hole before removing oil check plug. This will prevent
dirt and debris from entering the system.
