MVH-R60H — COMPONENTS (PLATE COMPACTOR)

Figure 3. Compactor Controls

Figure 3 shows the location of the controls, indicators and general maintenance parts. The function of each control is described below:

1.Breather Cap – Remove this cap to bleed (remove air) the hydraulic system.When replacing hydraulic oil, use "Shell Tellus #46 or equivalent".

2.Hand Grip – When operating the compactor use this hand grip to manuever the compactor.

3.Handle Lock – Pull handle bar downward (working position), then pull handle lock to lock handle bar in place.

4.Vibration Case Oil Level Check Plug – Remove this plug to check the vibration case oil. Oil level should be all the way up to the filler port.When replacing vibration case oil, use 10W-30 engine oil.

5.Handle Bar (working position) – When operating the compactor, this handle is to be in the downward position.

6.Gasoline Engine – This plate compactor uses a Honda GX120K1SM12 engine. Refer to the engine owners manual for engine information and related topics.

11.WaterTank – Optional water tank used for dust control and as a compaction aid. Ataches to the front of the R60's frame.

7.Belt Cover – Remove this cover to gain access to the V-belts.

CAUTION - V-belt Safety

NEVER attempt to check theV-belt with the engine running or operate the ma- chine with the cover removed. Severe injury can occur if your hand gets caught betweentheV-beltandtheclutch.Always use safety gloves.

8.Vibration Case – Encloses the eccentric, gears and counter weights.

9.Forward & Reverse Lever – Push the lever forward, the compactor will move in a forward direction, pull the lever backwards, the compactor will move in backwards direction. Placing the lever in the middle (midway) will cause the compactor not to move (neutral).

10.Throttle Control – Move the throttle lever to the rabbit position for full throttle (max RPM's), for engine idle, move the throttle lever to the turtle position.
