Figure 2. MVH406DSZ/DSCPAS Reversible Plate Compactor Components

Figure 2 illustrates the location of the major components for the MVH406DSZ/DS2CPAS Reversible Plate Compactor. The function of each component is described below:

1.Hand Grip – When operating the compactor use this hand grip to maneuver the compactor.

2.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).

3.Handle Bar – When operating the compactor, this

handle is to be in the downward position. When the compactor is to be stored, move the handle bar to the upright position.

4.Guard Hook - Used to lift the machine with crane or other lifting device.

5.Stopper - Locks the handle in place in the upward position for stowing.

6.Engine – This plate compactor uses a ROBIN D1B40T92040 diesel engine. Refer to the owner’s manual for engine information and related topics.

7.Battery (Option) - This unit uses a 12-volt battery. See maintenance of this manual for proper care of battery.

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

9.Base Plate – Designed to compact sand, clay, and asphalt.

10.Oil Reservoir – Fill with Shell Tellus Oil 46 or equivalent grade hydraulic oil.

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

12.Hydraulic Cylinder – Activated by moving the travel lever. The cylinder controls the direction of movement by the plate compactor.

13.Shock Absorber – Protects plate compactor from damage by absorbing vibration during operation.

14.Throttle Lever – Controls speed of the plate compactor. Place straight vertically to start, push fully counterclockwise for full throttle and fully clockwise to stop plate compactor.

15.Ignition Switch (Option) – Provided for electric start models only.

16.COMPAS – Compaction Analysing System, monitors soil stiffness. Available only on the MVH406DSCPAS.
