GENERAL INFORMATION
PLATE COMPACTOR
The Mikasa MVH-206GH 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-206GH 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
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 feet/
minute (23 meters/minute).
ENGINE
The Mikasa MVH-206GH Plate Compactor is equipped with
a GX240U1SMX2 (recoil start) gasoline engine.
CONTROLS
Before starting the MVH-206GH Plate Compactor, identify
and understand the function of the controls and
components.
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.

Engine Components
BASIC ENGINE
The engine (Figure 3) must be checked for proper
lubrication and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to
the manufacturers engine manual for instructions & details
of operation and servicing. The engine shown above is a
HONDA engine, operation for other types of engines may
vary somewhat.
1. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded
gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened
securely. DO NOT over fill.
DANGER — Fuel Hazard
Adding fuel to the tank should be done
only when the engine is stopped and has
had an opportunity to cool down. In the
event of a fuel spill, DO NOT attempt to
start the engine until the fuel residue has
been completely wiped up and the area surrounding
the engine is dry.

6. Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine,
or in cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the
fuel mixture.
7. Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from
entering the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of
air filter cannister to gain access to filter element.
8. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system.
Set spark plug gap to 0.024 - 0.028 inch (0.6 - 0.7
mm). Clean spark plug once a week.
Operating the engine without an air filter,
with a damaged air filter, or a filter in need
of replacement will allow dirt to enter the
engine, causing rapid engine wear.
9. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.
WARNING — Hot Components
Engine components can generate
extreme heat. To prevent burns, DO NOT
touch these areas while the engine is
running or immediately after operating.
NEVER operate the engine with the
muffler removed.
10. Fuel Tank – Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional
information refer to engine owner's manual.
5. Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to
stop the flow of fuel.

INSPECTION
Figure 4. Engine Oil Dipstick Removal
Maximum oil capacity is 1.2 quarts (1.10 liters).
Before Starting
Checking the Hydraulic Oil Level
1. Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual.
2. Familiarize yourself with the operating and
control elements of the machine and the
working environment. This includes
obstacles in the working area, bearing
capacity of the ground and the necessary safety
provisions.
3. Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If air filter is dirty,
replace air filter with a new one as required.
4. Check fastening nuts and bolts for tightness. Loose
threads may cause damage to the machine when
vibrating.
5. Understand the geographical features and regulations
of the job site.
6. Clean the compactor, removing dirt and dust.
Particularly, the bottom of the plate, engine cooling air
inlet.
Checking Engine Oil Level
1. To check the engine oil level, place the compactor on
secure level ground with the engine stopped.
2. Remove the dipstick from the engine oil filler hole
(Figure 4) and wipe it clean.
3. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into
the filler neck. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.
4. If the oil level is low (Figure 5), fill to the edge of the oil
filler hole with the recommended oil type (Table 4).

the engine for several minutes. Check for fuel leaks,
and noises that would be associated with a loose
component.
TRAVELING
1. Grasp the compactor's hand grip (Figure 18), and move
the engine throttle lever quickly to the

position.
2. With the throttle lever in the fast position, the engine
speed should be around 3,600 RPM, therefore
engaging the centrifugal clutch.
Figure 16. Engine ON/OFF Switch (ON)
MVH-206GH PLATE COMPACTOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (06/17/08) — PAGE 19
ALWAYS move the throttle lever quickly
without hesitation, because increasing the
engine speed slowly causes the clutch to slip.
3. To make the compactor move in the forward direction
push the travel lever ( Figure 19) forward.

4. To make the compactor move in the reverse direction
pull the travel lever ( Figure 19) backwards.
5. Firmly gasp the compactor's hand grip, the compactor
will begin moving in the desired position when the
direction lever has been placed in the desired position.
6. 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.
7. If travel lever is placed in the neutral position, the
machine will vibrate in place.
8. To move the compactor laterally, hold the hand grip
firmly and swing compactor. DO NOT swing compactor
while gripping the travel lever.

Inspection and other services should
always
be carried
out on hard and level ground with the engine shutdown.
INSPECTION
To make sure your compactor is always in good working
condition, perform maintenance inspection in accordance
with Tables 5 through 7 before use.

CAUTION — Inspection Intervals
These inspection intervals are for operation under
normal conditions. Adjust your inspection intervals
based on the number hours plate compactor is in use,
and particular working conditions.
CAUTION — Fuel Piping Replacement
Fuel piping and connections should be replaced every
2 years.
DAILY SERVICE
Check for leakage of fuel or oil.
Check for loose screws including tightness. See Table 7
for retightening.

Figure 27. V-Belt Hazard
CHECKING AND REPLACING THE V-BELT AND
CLUTCH
After 200 hours of operation, remove the belt cover to check
the V-belt tension (Figure 28). Tension is proper if the belt
bends about 3/8”(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.
Checking Clutch
Check the clutch simultaneously with V-belt checking. With
belt cover removed, check outer drum of the clutch for
seizure and "V" groove for wear or damage with your eyes.
Clean the "V" groove as necessary. Wear of lining or shoe
should be checked with running check. If the shoe is worn,
power transmission becomes deficient and slipping will
result.
Replacing Clutch
Remove V-belt. Remove bolt at engine power output by
giving a shock to an engaged wrench (tapping with hammer
or the like)and rotating bolt counterclockwise. Remove
clutch with a pulley extractor. To reinstall, reverse the
procedure.
Whenever the compactor's vibration becomes weak or
lost during normal operation regardless of operation
hours, check the V-belt and clutch immediately.
CAUTION — Weak Vibration

dirt and debris from entering the system.
In every 100 hours of operation, with the machine
positioned horizontally, use a 14 mm wrench and remove
vibrator oil level check plug (Figure 24). Measure oil level
with gauge. Vibrating oil capacity is 0.63 quart (0.6 liters).
Be sure to clean area around check hole to prevent dirt
and dust from entering.
Reinstalling the V-belt
Engage V-belt to lower vibrator pulley and push the V-belt
to left side of upper clutch and, in the same manner as in
removal, rotate offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt
goes back on.
