V-Belt Check
Figure 7. V-Belt Hazard
1. To check the V-belt tension (Figure 8 ), remove upper belt
cover.
Figure 8. V-Belt Cover Removal
3. A loose V-belt will decrease the power transmission output,
causing reduced compaction and premature wear of the
belt.
4. If the V-belt becomes worn or loose, replace it. See
maintenance section.

Vibrator Oil Check
1. Place the MVH-150D2 plate compactor horizontally on a flat
surface. Make sure the compactor is level when checking the
oil in the vibrator assembly.
2. With the handle bar positioned vertically (storage position),
use a 24 mm wrench and remove breather plug (Figure 10).
Visually check to see if hydraulic oil comes up to the oil level
line that is etched on the back side of the handle.
NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running.
Severe injury can occur of your hand (Figure 7) gets caught
between the V-belt and the clutch. Always use safety gloves.
CAUTION - V-Belt Check
3. If the hydraulic oil level is low, replace with "Shell Tellus" oil
#46 or equivalent.
