Draining Vibrator Oil

1.Replace vibrator oil after first 200 hours and in every 1,000 hours of operation. Oil capacity is 600 cc.

2.Position handle bar vertically (storage position).

3.Using a 14 mm wrench remove the vibrator oil drain plug (Figure 33) from the vibrating plate assembly.

NOTICE

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.

4.After hydraulic oil has been completely drained from machine, fill with 10W-30 motor oil to the appropriate safe operating level (Figure 33).
