INSPECTION
HYDRAULIC OIL CHECK
1. With handle bar positioned vertically (storage position),
remove the breather cap (Figure 7) from the breather
plug.
2. Use a 24 mm wrench and remove breather plug
(Figure 7). Visually check to see if hydraulic oil comes
up to the oil level line that is etched on the back side
of the handle.
3. If the hydraulic oil level is low, replace with "Shell
Tellus" oil #46 or equivalent.

Figure 8. V-Belt Hazard
1. To check the V-belt tension (Figure 9), remove upper
belt cover.
2. The V-belt tension is proper if the V-belt bends 10 to 15
mm (Figure 10) when depressed with finger at midway
between the clutch and vibration pulley shafts.
3. A loose V-belt will decrease the power transmission
output, causing reduced compaction and premature
wear of the belt. V-belt in use is RPF-3320 (A-32 is
also usable).
4. If the V-belt becomes worn or loose, replace it by using
V-belt part number RPF-3320 or A-32.
