MVH150VD2 PLATE COMPACTOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (10/10/08) — PAGE 21
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 18.
Air Filter Figure 18.
Tap the paper fi lter element (Figure 18) 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.
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 1.
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.
MAINTENANCE
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.
VIBRATOR OIL LEVEL CHECK
In every 300 hours of operation, with the machine 1.
positioned horizontally, remove vibrator oil level check
plug (Figure 6) off vibrator (14 mm wrench) and see
if oil is up to fi ller port. Be sure to clean area around
check hole to prevent dirt and dust from entering.
In every 300 hours of operation, replace oil (capacity 2.
400 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.
NOTICE
Whenever the compactor's vibration becomes weak or
lost during normal operation, regardless of operation
hours, check the V-belt and clutch immediately.
NOTICE
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.
