Operation

CAUTION

Make sure to follow all safety rules referenced in the safety section of this manual before operating compac- tor. Keep work area clear of debris and other objects that could cause damage to the compactor or bodily injury.

1.Grasp the compactor's hand grip (Figure 15), and move the engine throttle lever quickly from the turtle position (idle) to the rabbit position (full throttle) position.

2.Run the compactor at full throttle (3,600 RPM's), the centrifugal clutch will automatically engage when the engine speed reaches 2,300 RPM.

Always move the throttle lever quickly without hesitation, because increasing the engine speed slowly causes the clutch to slip.

3.To make the compactor move in the forward direction push the travel lever (Figure 15) forward.

MVH-120GH — OPERATION

CAUTION

zMoving the direction lever back and forth a few times after the engine has been turned off, will cause the lever to be locked in the forward position.

zDO NOT try to operate lever forcibly.The direction lever will operate normally when the engine is started and the compactor is in action.

7.Compactor traveling speed may drop on soils which contain clay, however there may be cases where travel- ing speed drops because the compaction plate does not leave the ground surface easily due to the composition of the soil. To rectify this problem do the following:

zCheck the bottom plate to see if clay or similar material has been lodged in the plate mechanism. If so, wash with water and remove.

zKeep in mind that the compactor does not work as efficiently on clay or soils that have a high moisture content level.

zIf the soil has a high moisture level, dry soil to appropriate moisture content level or carry out compaction twice.

Figure 15. Direction Lever

4.To make the compactor move in the reverse direction pull the travel lever (Figure 15) backwards.

5.Firmly grasp the compactor's hand grip, the compactor will begin moving in the desired position when the direction lever has been placed in the desired position.

6.Slowly walk behind the compactor and be on the lookout for any large objects or foreign matter that might cause damage to the compactor or bodily injury.
