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.
