GENERAL INFORMATION
Plate Compactor
The Mikasa MVH-306D/DS 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-306D/DS 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.
Frequency/Speed
The compactor's vibrating plate maximum frequency is 4400
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-306D/DS Plate Compactor is equipped with
either a Yanmar L-70EE D (recoil start) or L-70EE DS (electric
start) diesel engine.
Controls
Before starting the MVH-340DSB Plate Compactor, identify and
understand the function of the controls and components as
indicated in Figure 3.
Due to their weight and force, reversible plates are ideal for
semi-cohesive soils.

CAUTION
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.
Remove soil and clean the bottom of compaction plate.
Check hand pump, piping and hose for any leakage. A
loosened hydraulic hose can be a cause for leakage. Check
hydraulic hose connections with wrench applied for
tightness.
Check engine oil.
MVH306D/DS PLATE COMPACTOR — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #11 (02/04/14) — PAGE 21
Engine Oil Replacement:
1. Replace engine oil, in first 25 hours of operation and every
50 to 100 hours afterwards.
2. Oil may be drained more easily when it is warm after
operation (For more details, see separate engine Owner's
Manual).
Air Filter (Every 6 Months or 400 Hours)
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.
Replacing the V-belt
Remove the belt cover. Engage an offset wrench 3/4”(19 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
MAINTENANCE

2. To clean or replace air filter loosen the wing nut on the air
filter housing (Figure 25) 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.
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.
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"
CAUTION
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 (Figure 26). Always use safety gloves.

Replacing Clutch
CAUTION
Whenever the compactor's vibration becomes weak or lost
during normal operation regardless of operation hours,
check the V-belt and clutch immediately.
Checking and Replacing the V-Belt and Clutch
1. After 200 hours of operation, remove the belt cover to check
the V-belt tension (Figure 27). 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.

MAINTENANCE
Vibrator Oil Level Check
2. Push the travel lever back and forth to drain the hydraulic oil
from the hand pump (hydraulic oil reservoir).
NOTICE
Always clean the area around the vibrator oil level check plug
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, use a 3/4” (19 mm) wrench and remove vibrator
oil level check plug (Figure 28). Visually inspect and see if
vibrator oil level is up to filler port. Be sure to clean area
around check hole to prevent dirt and dust from entering.
3. After draining hydraulic oil, re-connect hydraulic oil hose to
cylinder.
4. Place handle in upright position. Pull travel lever all the way
back (reverse), and using a rope, secure travel lever to hand
grip.
Adding Hydraulic Oil
1. Remove the breather cap and oil plug (Figure 30) from the
hydraulic oil tank using a 24mm hex socket.

Figure 28. Vibrator Oil Drain and Check Plugs
Draining Vibrator Oil
1. Replace vibrator oil after first 200 hours and in every 1,000
hours of operation. Oil capacity is 600 cc,
2. Position handle bar vertically (storage position).
3. Using a 14 mm wrench remove the vibrator oil drain plug
(Figure 28) from the vibrating plate assembly.
NOTICE
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.
4. After hydraulic oil has been completely drained from
machine, fill with 10W-30 motor oil to the appropriate safe
operating level (Figure 28).
5. Re-install drain plug into vibrating plate assembly. Apply
seal tape or Loctite #575 to thread portion of drain plug.
Draining Hydraulic Oil
1. Disconnect the hydraulic hose (Figure 29) connected to the
hydraulic oil cylinder.
2. Using a funnel, add
the hydraulic oil tank through the oil filler port (Figure 31).
