Figure 2. MVC98D2 Components

Figure 2 illustrates the location of the major components for the MVC98D2 Plate Compactor.The function of each component is described below:

1. Water Tank Cap – Remove this cap to add water to the water tank.

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

3. Diesel Engine – This plate compactor uses a YANMAR L48V6 engine. Refer to the YANMAR owners manual for engine information and related topics.

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

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.

6.

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

 

iron construction used in the compacting of soil.

7. Vibration Case – Encloses the eccentric, gears and

 

counter weights.

8.

Water Tube (Sprinkler) – Supplies water to the soil via a

 

splash plate.

9.

Water Shut-Off Valve – Turn this valve downward to let

 

water flow from the water tank to the water tube.

10. Water Tank – Holds 13.7 quarts of water, removable no tools required.
