Emergencies

RULES AND REGULATIONS

ALWAYS know the location of the nearest fire extinguisher.

ALWAYS know the location of the nearest first aid kit.

In emergencies, always know the location

of the nearest phone or keep a phone on the job site. Also know the phone numbers of the nearest ambulance, doctor and fire department. This information will be invaluable in case of emergency.

BATTERY SAFETY (FOR ELECTRIC START)

■The battery contains acids that can cause

injury to the eyes and skin. ALWAYS wear safety glasses to avoid eye irritation.

■ALWAYS wear well-insulated gloves when picking up the battery.

■ALWAYS keep the battery charged. If the battery is not charged, a buildup of combustible gas will occur.

■DO NOT charge battery if frozen. Battery can explode. When frozen, warm the battery to at least 61° F (16° C).

■ALWAYS make sure battery terminals are properly connected. Inadequate battery connections may cause poor starting of the equipment and create other malfunctions.

■ALWAYS keep battery cables in good working condition. Repair or replace all worn cables.

■ALWAYS recharge the battery in an vented air environment, to avoid risk of a dangerous concentration of combustible gases.

■ALWAYS disconnect the negative battery terminal before performing service on the equipment.

■If the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes in contact with clothing or skin, rinse skin or clothing immediately with plenty of water.

■If the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes in contact with your EYES, rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water and contact the nearest doctor or hospital to seek medical attention.

DANGER — Explosion Hazards

The risk of an explosion exists when performing service on the battery. To avoid severe injury or DEATH:

DO NOT drop the battery. There is the possibility of risk that the battery may explode.

DO NOT expose the battery to open flames, sparks, cigarettes, etc.The battery contains combustible gases and liquids. If these gases

and liquids come in contact with a flame or spark, an explosion could occur.

MVC-82VH, MVC-82VHW specifications

The Multiquip MVC-82VHW and MVC-82VH are advanced walk-behind vibratory plate compactors, designed for efficient soil compaction in various construction and landscaping applications. These models combine robust engineering with cutting-edge technologies, making them ideal for both professionals and contractors.

The MVC-82VHW is powered by a reliable Honda GX160 engine, delivering impressive performance with minimal vibration. This model stands out due to its built-in water tank system, which allows for the effective compaction of asphalt while reducing the risk of material sticking to the base plate. Furthermore, the MVC-82VHW features an easy-to-use hand throttle, allowing operators to adjust the engine speed on the fly to suit specific job requirements.

On the other hand, the MVC-82VH is equipped with a durable Robin Subaru engine, known for its impressive torque and fuel efficiency. Both models feature a heavy-duty, high-quality steel frame that is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use on tough job sites. Their compact design allows for easy transportation and maneuverability, even in confined spaces.

A key characteristic of both models is their high-frequency vibration technology. This feature ensures optimal compaction in a variety of soil types, from granular to cohesive materials. The MVC-82s provide an operating frequency that allows them to achieve excellent compaction depth, making them a valuable asset for construction sites, road repairs, and landscaping tasks.

User comfort is also a significant consideration in the design of the MVC-82 series. The machines are outfitted with padded handles, which reduce operator fatigue during prolonged use. Additionally, the low center of gravity design enhances stability and control, allowing operators to handle challenging terrains with confidence.

In summary, the Multiquip MVC-82VHW and MVC-82VH compactors are exceptional machines that deliver superior performance and durability. With powerful engines, high-frequency vibration technology, and user-centric design features, these models are ideal for maximizing efficiency in compaction tasks across various job sites. They represent an investment in quality and reliability, setting a standard in the compacting equipment market. Whether for asphalt or soil compaction, these machines make the job easier and more efficient.
