MVH-200GH — FEATURES

Plate Compactor

The Mikasa MVH-200GH is a walk behind, reversible 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.

Vibratory Plates

The vibratory plates of the MVH-200GH produce low amplitude high frequency vibrations, designed to compact granular soils.

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.

Reversible Vibratory Plates

Reversible vibratory plates have two eccentric weights that allow a smooth transition for forward and reverse travel, plus increased compaction force as the result of dual weights.

Due to their weight and force, reversible plates are ideal for semi-cohesive soils.

Frequency/Speed

The compactor's vibrating plate maximum frequency is 5200 vpm (vibrations per minute). The forward and reverse travel speed of the compactor is approximately 75 ft./minute (23 meters/ minute).

Engine

The Mikasa MVH-200GH Plate Compactor is equipped with an air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder HONDA GX240K1SMX2 gasoline engine.

Controls

Before starting the MVH-200GH Plate Compactor, identify and understand the function of the controls and components as indicated in Figure 3.

Checking and Replacing the V-Belt and Clutch:

After 200 hours of operation, remove the belt cover to check the V-belt tension (Figure 24).

Figure 24. V-Belt Check

CAUTION - Checking and Replacing the V-Belt

NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with

the engine running. Severe injury can occur if your hand gets caught between the V-belt and the clutch. Always use safety gloves.

Checking the V-belt

1. 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.

Replacing the V-belt

1. Remove the belt cover.

2. Engage an offset wrench (19 mm) or the like to vibrator pulley (lower) fastening bolt.

3. 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.

Checking the Clutch

1. With belt cover removed, visually check outer drum of the clutch for seizure and "V" groove for wear or damage.

2. Clean the "V" groove as necessary.

3. Check the clutch lining and shoe for signs of wear. If the shoe is worn, replace the clutch to prevent deficient power transmission and slippage.

Replacing the Clutch

1. Remove V-belt.

2. Remove bolt at engine power output by giving a shock to an engaged wrench (e.g. tapping with hammer) and rotate the bolt counterclockwise.

3. Remove clutch with a pulley extractor.

4. To install a new clutch, reverse steps 1-3.

Vibrator Oil Level Check

CAUTION - Checking and Replacing the V-Belt

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.

1. In every 100 hours of operation, with the machine positioned

horizontally, remove vibrator oil level check plug (Figure 26) off vibrator (19 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.

2. In every 300 hours of operation, replace oil (capacity 1,500

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.

4. Check the clutch and replace as necessary, following the procedures listed in

5. Engage V-belt to lower vibrator pulley and push the V-belt to the left side of the upper clutch and the rotate offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt moves onto the pulley.

Figure 26. Vibrator Oil Maintenance

CAUTION - Filling the Hydraulic Oil Reservoir

Make sure hydraulic oil i is at a normal safe operating level. DO NOT over fill. Over filling (excessive oil) will cause excess oil to blow out of breather plug.

Replacing Hydraulic Oil

1. Remove the hydraulic hoses (left and right) which enters the cylinder of the vibrator from the hydraulic pump (Figure 28) and move the travel lever back and forth to drain the hydraulic oil from the pump.

Filling the forward travel circuit with oil

a. With the rope removed from the travel lever, move the

lever slowly up and down while adding oil into the hand pump. Use Shell Tellus Oil #46 or equivalent.

2. After draining, reinstall the hydraulic hoses and lock the travel lever to the sub-handle at reverse side (at MAXIMUM position) using a rope and with the reservoir cover at the top of the and pump removed.

3. Remove the bleed valve assembly within the pump using a 17 mm box wrench.

b. Moving it about 10 times causes the forward resistance

c. Push the travel lever forward all the way. The valve inside

CAUTION - Removing the Bleed Valve

When removing the bleed valve, NEVER loosen the M8 nut on its end. A copper packing is used underneath the bleed valve, therefore care should be taken not to drop it into the pump. Make sure to remove it together with the bleed valve. DO NOT allow dust or trash to enter the hand pump.

3. Remove bleed plug at the cylinder of the vibrator (right belt cover side, forward travel circuit) (Figure 29). After a while, oil will flow out of the bleed plug. When aeration disappears, reinstall the plug, tightening it securely.

d. With the bleed valve assembly removed, repeat step c,

MVH-200GH — MAINTENANCE

Battery Maitenance

a. With the travel lever pushed forward (hydraulic circuit is

connected with reverse travel circuit), add oil into pump and remove bleed plug of vibrator cylinder (opposite of belt cover side). In a few seconds, oil will come out of

bleed plug. b. When aeration disappears, reinstall the plug tightly. c. Move the travel lever slowly until aeration in the hand

pump disappears (about 10 to 15 times).

6. When the aeration in the pump disappears, with the travel lever pushed forward, reinstall the valve. Be careful not to drop the packing into pump. The bleeding valve tightening torque is 450 to 500 kg-gm.

7. After installing the bleed valve, moving the travel lever all the way to reverse causes excess oil to be discharged into pump. If valve fails to activate, aeration still remains in the circuit. With the bleed valve removed, operate travel lever again to bleed. If valve is activated, move the travel lever forward to activate the valve inside spool before moving it to reverse to activate the bleed valve. Repeat 3 to 4 times.

8. After making sure that the hydraulic oil in the pump is at the specified level, reinstall the reservoir cover. Coat both sides of packing with liquid packing (such as Threebond #1215).
