SAFETY INFORMATION

FUEL SAFETY

DANGER

„DO NOT add fuel to equipment if it is placed inside truck bed with plastic liner. Possibility exists of explosion or fire due to static electricity.

FUEL

FUEL

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

„ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and open flames.

„ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable liquids.

„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 appropriate containers, in well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.

„NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.

„DO NOT smoke around or near the

equipment. Fire or explosion could result from fuel vapors or if fuel is spilled on a hot engine.

BATTERY SAFETY (ELECTRIC START ONLY)

DANGER

„DO NOT drop the battery. There is a possibility that the battery will explode.

„DO NOT expose the battery to open flames, sparks, cigarettes, etc.The battery contains combustible gases and liquids. If these

gases and liquids come into contact with a flame or spark, an explosion could occur.

WARNING

„ALWAYS wear safety glasses when handling the battery to avoid eye irritation. The battery contains acids that can cause injury to the eyes and skin.

„Use well-insulated gloves when picking up the battery.

„ALWAYS keep the battery charged. If the battery is not charged, combustible gas will build up.

„DO NOT charge battery if frozen. Battery can explode. When frozen, warm the battery to at least 61°F (16°C).

„ALWAYS recharge the battery in a well-ventilated environment to avoid the risk of a dangerous concentration of combustible gases.

„ If the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes into contact with clothing or skin, rinse skin or clothing immediately with plenty of water.

„If the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes into contact with eyes, rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water and contact the nearest doctor or hospital to seek medical attention.

CAUTION

„ALWAYS disconnect the NEGATIVE battery terminal before performing service on the equipment.

„ALWAYS keep battery cables in good working condition. Repair or replace all worn cables.

MVH306GH specifications

The Multiquip MVH306GH is a versatile, heavy-duty vibratory plate compactor designed for a variety of soil and asphalt compaction applications in construction and landscaping. This powerful machine is built to deliver optimal performance while ensuring operator comfort and ease of use.

One of the main features of the MVH306GH is its robust Honda GX160 engine, which provides reliable power and high efficiency. The engine generates sufficient force to achieve deep compaction in different soil types, including clay, sand, and gravel. With its ability to produce 3,600 vibrations per minute, the MVH306GH ensures that the compaction is uniform, reducing the likelihood of future settlement in the compacted material.

Another noteworthy feature of the MVH306GH is its durable construction. The compactor is constructed with a heavy-duty steel plate that can withstand the rigors of daily use on construction sites. Its high-quality build guarantees longevity and reduces the need for frequent maintenance. The unit is also equipped with a foldable handle, which enhances its portability and storage, especially in tight spaces.

Comfort and usability are paramount in the design of the MVH306GH. The machine features an ergonomic vibration-dampened handle that minimizes operator fatigue during prolonged use. This design consideration allows operators to work efficiently without experiencing discomfort, leading to increased productivity on the job site.

The MVH306GH is also equipped with a reliable water tank, allowing for the added benefit of wet compaction, which is essential when working on asphalt. The ability to use water helps to bond materials together, resulting in a more stable and durable surface.

In terms of technology, the MVH306GH features an advanced vibration system that optimizes the compactor's performance. This system helps in achieving maximum compaction density while minimizing the likelihood of over-compaction that can lead to future cracking or damage.

Overall, the Multiquip MVH306GH vibratory plate compactor is an ideal choice for contractors looking for a powerful, efficient, and user-friendly solution for their compaction needs. With its impressive features, durable construction, and thoughtful design, this machine proves to be a valuable asset in any construction or landscaping project.
