Vibrator Oil Level Check

NOTICE

ALWAYS clean the area around the vibrator oil level check plug before removing oil check plug. This will prevent dirt and debris from entering the system.

1.In every 100 hours of operation, with the machine positioned horizontally, use a 3/4” (19 mm) wrench and remove vibrator oil level guage/dipstick (Figure 30). Visually inspect and see if vibrator oil level is up to filler port. Be sure to clean area around check hole to

prevent dirt and dust from entering.

NOTICE

The oil fill gauge (dipstick) should be threaded down completely when checking the oil level. Quickly inserting and removing the dipstick from the reservoir will provide inaccurate readings and possibly lead to overfilling the exciter casing.

Overfilling the exciter casing will overload the engine and adversely affect performance. DO NOT OVERFILL 600CC Maximum oil level!

Draining Vibrator Oil

1.Replace vibrator oil after first 200 hours and in every 1,000 hours of operation.

2.Position handle bar vertically (storage position).

3.Using a 14 mm wrench remove the vibrator oil drain plug (Figure 30) from the vibrating plate assembly.

NOTICE

For draining oil through level check hole, have the machine inclined with a sleeper or the like placed under the compaction plate on opposite side.

4.After hydraulic oil has been completely drained from machine, fill with 10W-30 motor oil to the appropriate safe operating level (Figure 30).

5.Reinstall drain plug into vibrating plate assembly. Apply seal tape or Loctite #575 to thread portion of drain plug.

Draining Hydraulic Oil

1.Disconnect the hydraulic hose (Figure 31) connected to the hydraulic oil cylinder.

2.Push the travel lever back and forth to drain the hydraulic oil from the hand pump (hydraulic oil reservoir).
