GENERAL INFORMATION
DEFINITION OF PLATE COMPACTOR
The Mikasa MVH120VGH is a walk-behind, reversible plate compactor designed for the compaction of sand and clay. 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.
ECCENTRIC WEIGHTS
A set of rotating eccentric weights within the vibrator case produces low amplitude high frequency vibrations, designed to compact granular soil. The rotation of the weights are controlled hydraulically through a lever on the control handle. Changing the position of the lever allows smooth transition between forward and reverse travel.
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 range of 6000 vpm (vibrations per minute). The forward and reverse travel speed of the compactor is approximately 75 feet/ minute (23 meters/minute).
ENGINE
The plate compactor is equipped with a Honda GX160U1SMX4 air-cooled, 4-cycle, gasoline engine.

MAINTENANCE
ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT
1. Replace engine oil, in first 20 hours of operation and
every 100 hours afterwards.
2. Oil may be drained more easily when it is warm after
operation (For more details, see separate HONDA Owner's Manual).
AIR FILTER
1. The air filter element should be cleaned because a
clogged air cleaner can cause poor engine starting, lack of power and shorten engine life substantially.
2. To clean or replace air filter, loosen the wing nut on the
air filter housing (Figure 17). Remove the cover and take out air filter cartridge. If only cleaning of the air filter is desired, blow through the air filter cartridge from the inside, moving a jet of dry compressed air up and down until all dust is removed.
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.
Reinstalling the V-belt
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 deficient and slipping will result.
Whenever the compactor's vibration becomes weak or lost during normal operation regardless of operation hours, check the V-belt and clutch immediately.
VIBRATOR OIL LEVEL CHECK
1. In every 300 hours of operation, with the machine
Figure 17. Air Filter
2. In every 300 hours of operation, replace oil (capacity
CHECKING AND REPLACING 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 reduce power transmission efficiency, causing weak compaction and reducing the life of the belt itself.
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.
CAUTION
positioned horizontally, remove vibrator oil level check plug (Figure 6) off vibrator (14 mm wrench) and see if oil is up to filler port. Be sure to clean area around check hole to prevent dirt and dust from entering.
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.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Make sure hydraulic oil in hand pump is at a normal save operating level. DO NOT over fill. Over filling (excessive oil) will cause excess oil to blow out of breather plug.
HYDRAULIC OIL
Check hydraulic oil in every 100 hours of operation. With handle bar positioned vertically (storage position), remove breather plug (Figure 1) off the top of hydraulic pump and check for proper oil level.
Replace hydraulic oil after first 200 hours and in every 1,000 hours of operation.
Replacing Hydraulic Oil
1. After removing plug cap of hand pump (Figure 7), remove plug of breather (24 mm wrench) and disconnect vibrator side of hydraulic hose (Figure 18) at vibrator cylinder. With travel lever placed in the position, drain hydraulic oil in the pump.
FORWARD
STORAGE
For storage of the pump for over 30 days, the following is required:
Drain the fuel tank completely.
Run the engine until the fuel in the injection system is completely consumed.
Completely drain the oil from the engine crankcase and follow procedures described in the HONDA engine Owner's Manual for engine storage.
Completely drain the compactor's hydraulic oil from the vibrating case.
Clean entire plate compactor, especially the bottom plate, removing all dirt and foreign matter.
Cover plate compactor and engine with plastic covering or equivalent and store in a clean, dry place.
2. After draining, reconnect the hydraulic hose to vibrator.
Figure 18. Hydraulic Hose
3. Fill oil through breather hole of hand pump. (capacity: about 300 cc). Use
4. Removing breather plug at vibrator cylinder causes oil to flow out of breather hole in a while. When aeration disappears, replace the plug and tighten securely.
5. Replace breather plug of hand pump and fit the plug cap. After making sure that oil in pump is at proper level, replace the breather plug.
