MVC-90H PLATE COMPACTOR — INSPECTION

Fuel Check:

1.Remove the gasoline cap located on top of fuel tank.

2.Visually inspect to see if the fuel level is low. If fuel is low, replenish with unleaded fuel.

3.When refueling, be sure to use a strainer for filtration. DO NOT top-off fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately!

WARNING - Explosive Fuel

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and its vapors can cause an explosion if ignited. DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible fluids.

DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot. DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from the ignition system. Store fuel in approved containers, in well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.

Vibrator Oil Check

1.Place the plate compactor horizontally on a flat surface. Make sure the compactor is level when checking the oil in the vibrator assembly.

2.Check vibrator oil level by removing the plug (vibrator oil gauge) as shown in Figure 7. The oil level should be up to the oil plug. The vibrator holds 140 cc (approxi- mately 4 oz).

NOTE

When adding or replacing oil, re-

 

place using only SAE 10W-30

 

motor oil.

V-Belt Check

CAUTION - Checking and Replacing the V-Belt

NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running. Severe in- jury can occur if your hand gets caught between the V-belt and the clutch. Always use safety gloves.

1.To check the V-belt tension, remove the three bolts that secure the belt cover to the frame as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8.V-Belt Cover Removal

2.The V-belt tension is proper if the V-belt bends 10 to 15 mm (Figure 9) when depressed with finger at midway between the clutch and vibration pulley shafts.

3.A loose V-belt will decrease the power transmission output, causing reduced compaction and premature wear of the belt.

4.If the V-belt becomes worn or loose, replace it .

MVC-90H specifications

The Multiquip MVC-90H is a powerful, efficient, and versatile compactor that stands out in the construction and landscaping industries. This machine is designed to tackle various soil types, making it an excellent choice for compacting asphalt, gravel, and other materials in a range of applications.

One of the most notable features of the MVC-90H is its robust Honda engine. This reliable engine delivers unmatched performance, ensuring that the compactor operates at optimal levels even in demanding conditions. The combustion engine not only provides abundant power but also ensures low emissions, aligning with contemporary environmental standards.

The MVC-90H utilizes a unique centrifugal clutch cutting mechanism that allows smooth operation and consistent performance. This technology ensures that the vibratory plate remains in constant contact with the ground, maximizing efficiency during the compaction process. The heavy-duty design of the machine contributes to its durability and reliability on job sites, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of everyday use.

Another significant characteristic of the MVC-90H is its user-friendly design. It features adjustable handles that can be set to various heights to accommodate operators of different sizes, providing comfort and reducing operator fatigue. Additionally, the compactor’s compact size and lightweight construction make it easy to transport to and from job sites without the need for heavy-duty equipment.

The machine is also equipped with a high-frequency vibration system that enhances the effectiveness of compaction. This high-frequency technology allows for better penetration of soil, resulting in a denser and more stable ground. It is particularly useful in areas where precision in compaction is critical, such as in trench backfilling or base preparation for paving.

Furthermore, the MVC-90H is designed with an integrated water tank system that helps prevent asphalt from sticking to the plate during operation. This feature increases operational efficiency and reduces downtime, allowing operators to complete their tasks more swiftly.

In summary, the Multiquip MVC-90H is a well-rounded compactor that combines powerful performance with user-friendly features. Its robust Honda engine, advanced compaction technologies, and practical design make it an ideal choice for professionals seeking reliability, efficiency, and ease of use on their projects. Whether for commercial construction or landscaping tasks, the MVC-90H proves to be a valuable asset in any contractor's toolkit.
