MVC-70E/EW — COMPONENTS (PLATE COMPACTOR)

Figure 3. MVC-70E/EW Plate Compactor Components

Figure 3 shows the location of the components and general maintenance parts. The function of each component is described below:

1. Water Tank Cap (for MVC-70EW only) – Remove this cap to add water to the water tank.

2. FuelTank Cap – Remove this cap to add fuel.

3.Lifting Bail – When lifting of the compactor is required either by forklift, crane etc., tie rope or chain around this lifting point.

4. Handle Bar – When operating the compactor use this handle bar to maneuver the compactor.

5. Gasoline Engine – This plate compactor uses a ROBIN EX170D40050 engine. Refer to the ROBIN owner's manual for engine information.

6.

Belt Cover – Remove this cover to gain acess to the V-

 

belts.NEVER run the compactor without the V-belt cover.If

 

the V-belt cover is not installed, the possibility exist that

 

your hand may get caught between the V-belt and clutch,

 

thus causing serious injury and bodily harm.

7.

Vibrating Plate – A flat, open plate made of durable cast

 

iron construction used in the compacting of soil.

8. Vibration Case – Encloses the eccentric, gears and

 

counter weights.

9.

Water Shut-Off Valve (for MVC-70EW only) – Turn this

 

valve downward to let water flow from the water tank to the

 

water tube.

10.

Water Tank (for MVC-70EW only) – Holds 10.6 quarts

 

(10 liters) of water, removable no tools required.
