SETUP

Compactor Instructions

The purpose of this section is to assist the user in the setting up of a NEW compactor. If your compactor is already assembled (vibration handle), then this section can be skipped.

Before packaging and shipping this MQ Mikasa Walk-Behind Plate compactor was run and tested at the factory. If there are problems, please let us know.

NOTICE

The new plate compactor cannot be put into service until the setup installation instructions are completed. These setup instructions only need to be performed at the time of unpacking a NEW compactor.

Steering Handle Assembly

The steering handle is not attached to the compactor’s lower base at the time of shipment. To attach the steeering handle to the lower base assembly perform the following:

1.Remove the bolts and washers (handle mounting hard- ware) from both sides of the plate compactor (Figure 4).

2.Position the anti-vibration handle over the compactor.

3.Align the holes at the bottom of the handle to the holes on the compactor (lower base) where the bolts and wash- ers where removed. Install and tighten the bolts and washers.
