Remove soil and clean the bottom of compaction 3.
plate.
Check hydraulic pump, piping and hose for any leakage. 4.
A loosened hydraulic hose can be a cause for leakage.
Check hydraulic hose connections with wrench applied
for tightness.
Check engine oil. 5.
ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT
Replace engine oil, in fi rst 20 hours of operation and 1.
every 100 hours afterwards.
Oil may be drained more easily when it is warm after 2.
operation (For more details, see separate engine
Owner's Manual).
AIR FILTER
Remove the air cleaner cover and foam fi lter element 1.
as shown in Figure 15.
Air Filter Figure 15.
Tap the paper fi lter element (Figure 15) several times on 2.
a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air
[not exceeding 30 psi (207 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm2)] through
the fi lter element from the air cleaner case side.
MAINTENANCE
Clean foam element in warm, soapy water or 3.
nonfl ammable solvent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Dip
the element in clean engine oil and completely squeeze
out the excess oil from the element before installing.
CHECKING AND REPLACING V-BELT AND CLUTCH
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 fi nger between
shafts. Loose or worn V-belts reduce power transmission
effi ciency, causing weak compaction and reducing the life
of the belt itself.
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
defi cient and slipping will result.
NOTICE
Whenever the compactor's vibration becomes weak or
lost during normal operation, regardless of operation
hours, check the V-belt and clutch immediately.
