GENERAL INFORMATION
Plate Compactor
The Mikasa MVC98D2 is a walk-behind plate compactor
designed for the compaction of sand, clay 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 backfilling for gas
pipelines, water pipelines and cable installation work.
Compactor Components
This plate compactor is comprised of an anti-vibration handle,
vibrating case (eccentric), water tank, guard hook, rubber shock
absorbers and a Yanmar diesel engine.
Vibratory Plates
The vibratory plates of the MVC98D2 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.
Power Transfer
Frequency/Speed
The compactor's vibrating plate maximum frequency is 6,000
vpm (vibrations per minute). The forward and reverse travel speed
of the compactor is approximately 72 ft./minute (22 meters/
minute).
Water Sprinkler System
The water sprinkler system will provide about 20 minutes of
sprinkling with the water cock in the full open position and the
compactor operating at full speed. It is suggested to mix a small
amount of detergent or diesel fuel with water. This will allow the
water to the flow much easier.
Controls
Before starting the MVC98D2 Plate Compactor, identify and
understand the function of the controls and components as
indicated in Figure 2.
The Mikasa MVC98D2 Plate Compactor is equipped with an aircooled, vertical single-cylinder, 4-stroke Yanmar L48V6 diesel
engine. A centrifugal clutch is attached to the output shaft of the
engine and will engage when the engine speed reaches
approximately 2,300 ~ 2,600 rpm’s.
Engine shaft speed is transfered via engine pulley and V-belt to
vibrator pulley. The vibrator pulley rotates an eccentric rotor shaft
that is contained within the vibrator case.
The generated vibration created from the eccentric rotor is
transmitted to the compacting plate. This vibration causes the
compactor to move in a forward direction.

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.
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:
■
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 efficiently 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.
