INSPECTION

V-BELT INSPECTION

Visually examine the V-belt (Figure 8) and determine if it is full of tiny cracks, frayed, has pieces of rubber missing, is peeling or otherwise damaged.

Also, examine the belt and determine if it is oil soaked or "glazed " (hard shiny appearance on the sides of the belt). Either of these two conditions can cause the belt to run hot, which can weaken it and increase the danger of it breaking.

If the V-belt exhibits any of the referenced wear conditions replace the V-belt immediately

VIBRATOR OIL CHECK

1.Place the plate compactor horizontally on a flat surface. Make sure the compactor is level when checking the oil in the vibrator assembly.

2.Check vibrator oil level by removing the oil plug (vibrator oil gauge) as shown in Figure 10. Clean the oil gauge and re-thread back in. Remove the oil gauge again and confirm oil level does not exceed the cross hash of the oil plug. DO NOT OVERFILL

3.The vibrator holds approximately 20.3 oz. (600 cc). IMPORTANT, if oil is required, replace using only SAE 10W-30 motor oil.

HANDLE BAR

The height of the handle bar can be adjusted for ease of use. Adjust the handle height as follows. Refer to Figure 11.

1.Loosen the wing nut.

2.Turn the grip clockwise to raise the handle or counterclockwise to lower the handle.

3.When the handle bar is raised to the desired height, tighten the wing nut.
