MAINTENANCE
Reinstalling the V-belt
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.
Checking Clutch
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" groove as necessary. Wear of lining or shoe
should be checked with running check. If the shoe is worn,
power transmission becomes deficient and slipping will
result.
Replacing Clutch
Remove V-belt. Remove bolt at engine power output by
giving a shock to an engaged wrench (tapping with hammer
or the like) and rotating bolt counterclockwise. Remove
clutch with a pulley extractor. To reinstall, reverse the
procedure.
VIBRATOR OIL LEVEL CHECK
In every 100 hours of operation, with the machine
positioned horizontally, use a 14 mm wrench and remove
vibrator oil level check plug (Figure 24). Measure oil level
with gauge. Vibrating oil capacity is 0.63 quart (0.6 liters).
Be sure to clean area around check hole to prevent dirt
and dust from entering.
DRAINING VIBRATOR OIL
1. Replace vibrator oil after first 200 hours and in every
1,000 hours of operation.
2. Position handle bar vertically (storage position).
3. Using a 14 mm wrench remove the vibrator oil drain
plug (Figure 24) from the vibrating plate assembly.
4. After vibrator oil has been completely drained from
machine, fill with 10W-30 motor oil to the appropriate
safe operating level (Figure 24).
5. Reinstall 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 connected to the
hydraulic oil cylinder (Figure 25).
2. Push the travel lever back and forth to drain the
hydraulic oil from the hand pump (hydraulic oil
reservoir).
3. After draining hydraulic oil, reconnect 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.
CAUTION — Weak Vibration
Whenever the compactor's vibration becomes weak or
lost during normal operation regardless of operation
hours, check the V-belt and clutch immediately.
CAUTION — Dirt and Debris
Always clean the area around the vibrator oil level cleck
plug before removing oil check plug. This will prevent
dirt and debris from entering the system.
Figure 24. Vibrator Oil Drain and Check Plugs
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.
