MAINTENANCE

SPARK PLUG

1.Remove and clean the spark plug (Figure 16).

2.Adjust the spark gap to 0.028 ~0.031 inch (0.6~0.7 mm). This unit has electronic ignition, which requires no adjustments.

CHANGING VIBRATOR OIL

1.When changing the vibrator oil, remove the drain plug (Figure 8).

2.Tip the compactor to drain the oil. Note that the oil will drain more easily while it is hot.

3.Remember to use only 10W-30 motor oil when replacing vibrator oil.

CHECKING/REPLACING THE V-BELT AND CLUTCH

After 200 hours of operation, remove the upper belt cover to check the V-belt tension. Tension is proper if the belt bends about 10 mm when depressed strongly with finger between shafts. Loose or worn V-belts reduces power transmission efficiency, causing weak compaction and reduces the life of the belt itself.

Replacing the V-belt

Remove the upper and lower belt covers. Engage an offset wrench (13 mm) or the like to vibrator pulley (lower) fastening bolt. Engage waste cloth or the like at midway of V-belt on the left side and while pulling it back strongly, rotate the offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt will come off.

Reinstalling the V-belt

Engage V-belt to lower vibrator pulley and push the V-belt to left side of upper clutch and, in the same manner as in removal, rotate offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt goes back on.

Checking Clutch

Check the clutch simultaneously with V-belt checking. With belt removed, check outer drum of the clutch for seizure and "V" groove for wear or damage with your eyes. Clean the "V" groove as necessary. Wear of lining or shoe should be checked with running check. If the shoe is worn, power transmission becomes deficient and slipping will result.

WARNING — V-Belt Hazard

NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running. Severe injury can occur if your hand (Figure

5)gets caught between the V-belt and the clutch. Always use safety gloves.

CAUTION — Vibration Check

Whenever the compactor's vibration becomes weak or lost during normal operation regardless of operation hours, check the V-belt and clutch immediately.

PLATE COMPACTOR STORAGE

For storage of the plate compactor for over 30 days, the following is required:

„Drain the fuel tank completely or add STA-BIL to the fuel.

„Run the engine until the fuel is completely consumed.

„Completely drain the oil from the engine crankcase and follow procedures described in the HONDA engine Owner's Manual for engine storage.

„Completely drain the compactor's hydraulic oil from the vibrating case.

„Clean entire plate compactor, especially the bottom plate removing all dirt and foreign matter.

„Cover plate compactor and engine with plastic covering or equivalent and store in a clean, dry place.

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.
