MVC-40G — SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS! HAZARD SYMBOLS Safety precautions should be followed at all times when operating this equipment. Failure to read and understand the Safety Messages and Operating Instructions could result in injury to yourself and others. Potential hazards associated with the operation of the MQ Lethal Exhaust Gases Model MVC-40G Plate Compactor.
MVC-40G — SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS CAUTION - Rotating Parts Hazards NEVER operate equipment with covers, or guards removed. Keep fingers, hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. CAUTION - Accidental Starting Hazards ALWAYS place the power source, circuit breakers or ON/OFF switch in the OFF position, when the generator is not in use, unless connected to transfer switch. CAUTION - Eye and Hearing Hazards ALWAYS wear approved eye and hearing protection.
MVC-40G — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION CAUTION - Read Manual! Failure to follow instructions in this manual may lead to serious injury or even death! This equipment is to be operated by trained and qualified personnel only! This equipment is for industrial use only. The following safety guidelines should always be used when operating the MQ Mikasa Model MVC-40G Plate Compactor. GENERAL SAFETY ■ DO NOT operate or service this equipment before reading this entire manual.
MVC-40G — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION ■ NEVER run engine without air filter. Severe engine damage may occur. ■ ALWAYS service air cleaner frequently to prevent carburetor malfunction. ■ ALWAYS be sure the operator is familiar with proper safety precautions and operations techniques before using compactor. ■ ALWAYS read, understand, and follow procedures in Operator’s Manual before attempting to operate equipment. ■ Refer to the ROBIN Engine Owner's Manual for engine technical questions or information.
MVC-40G — GENERAL INFORMATION Definition of Plate Compactor Frequency/Speed The Mikasa MVC-40G is a one direction (forward) walk behind, plate compactor designed for the compaction of sand, mixed soils and asphalt. This plate compactor is a powerful compacting tool capable of applying a tremendous force in consecutive high frequency vibrations to a soil surface.
MVC-40G — COMPONENTS (PLATE COMPACTOR) Figure 3. MVC-40G Plate Compactor Components Figure 3 shows the location of the components and general maintenance parts. The function of each component is described below: 1. Hand Lift Handle – When lifting of the compactor by personnel is required, use this hand lift handle. DO NOT attach a crane or heavy lifting device to this handle to lift the compactor. 2. Lifting Bale – When lifting of the compactor is required either by forklift, crane etc.
MVC-40G — COMPONENTS (ENGINE) Figure 4. Engine Controls and Components INITIAL SERVICING The engine (Figure 4) must be checked for proper lubrication and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the ROBIN engine service manual for instructions and details for proper operation and servicing. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM. Push lever upwards for SLOW, and down for FAST. Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method.
MVC-40G — INSPECTION Before Starting 1. Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual. NOTE 2. Clean the compactor, removing dirt and dust. Particularly, the bottom of the plate, engine cooling air inlet, carburetor and air cleaner. 3. Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If the air filter is dirty, blow through the air filter cartridge from the inside, moving a jet of dry compressed air up and down until all dust is removed. Otherwise replace air filter with a new one. 4.
MVC-40G — INSPECTION 2. The V-belt tension is proper if the V-belt bends 10 to 15 mm (Figure 9) when depressed with finger at midway between the clutch and vibration pulley shafts. V-Belt Check Caution - V-Belt check NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running. Severe injury can occur if your hand (Figure 7) gets caught between the V-belt and the clutch. Always use safety gloves. CLUTCH PULLEY Figure 9. V-Belt Tension VIBRATOR PULLEY Figure 7. V-Belt Hazard 3.
MVC-40G — INITIAL START-UP Caution - Read Manual DO NOT attempt to operate the plate compactor until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections of this manual have been read and thoroughly understood. This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial start-up of the plate compactor. It is extremely important that this section be read carefully before attempting to use the compactor in the field. Starting the Engine 1.
MVC-40G — INITIAL START-UP 7. If the engine is running properly, slowly return (push inward) the choke lever (Figure 13) to the “OPEN” position. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 6. 2. After the engine cools, turn the engine ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position (Figure 18). 8. To begin compacting, place the throttle lever (Figure 16) in the "fast" (run) position. Figure 18. Engine ON/OFF Switch (OFF) Figure 16. Throttle Lever (Fast) 3.
MVC-40G — OPERATION Operation CAUTION - Safety Rules Make sure to follow all safety rules referenced in the safety section of this manual before operating compactor. Keep work area clear of debris and other objects that could cause damage to the compactor or bodily injury. 1. Once the engine has started, move the engine throttle lever quickly to the fast position. 2. With the throttle lever in the fast position, the engine speed should be around 2,300 RPM, therefore engaging the centrifugal clutch.
MVC-40G — MAINTENANCE CAUTION - Inspection Intervals CAUTION - Inspection These inspection intervals are for operation under normal conditions. Adjust your inspection intervals based on the number of hours plate compactor is in use, and particular working conditions. Inspection and other services should always be carried out on hard and level ground with the engine shut down. Inspection and Maintenance Service Tables. 1.
MVC-40G — MAINTENANCE Changing Vibrator Oil 1. When changing the vibrator oil, remove the drain plug (Figure 10), and simply tip the compactor to drain the oil. Note that the oil will drain more easily while it is hot. Remember to use only 10W-30 motor oil when replacing vibrator oil. Checking and Replacing the V-Belt and Clutch Figure 20. Engine Oil (Draining) Engine Air Cleaner 1. Remove the air cleaner cover and foam filter element as shown in Figure 21. 2.
MVC-40G— PREPARATION FOR LONG -TERM STORAGE Compactor Storage For storage of the compactor for over 30 days, the following is required: z Drain the fuel tank completely, or add STA-BIL to the fuel. z Run the engine until the fuel in the fuel in the carburetor is completely consumed. z Completely drain the oil from the engine crankcase and follow procedures described in the ROBIN engine Owner's Manual for engine storage. z Completely drain the compactor's oil from the vibrating case.
MVC-40G — TROUBLESHOOTING (ENGINE) Practically all breakdowns can be prevented by proper handling and maintenance inspections, but in the event of a breakdown, please take a remedial action following the diagnosis based on the Engine Troubleshooting (Table 8) information shown below and on the proceeding page. If the problem cannot be remedied, please leave the unit just as it is and consult our company's business office or service plant. TABLE 8.
MVC-40G — TROUBLESHOOTING (ENGINE) TABLE 8. ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED) SYMPTOM "Weak in power" compression is proper and does not misfire. POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Air cleaner not clean? Clean or replace air cleaner Improper level in carburetor? Check float adjustment, re-build carbureator. Defective Spark plug? Clean or replace spark plug. Defective Spark plug? "Weak in power" compression is proper but misfires. Engine overheats. Rotational speed fluctuates.
MVC-40G — TROUBLESHOOTING (PLATE COMPACTOR) Practically all breakdowns can be prevented by proper handling and maintenance inspections, but in the event of a breakdown, please take a remedial action following the diagnosis based on the Compactor Troubleshooting (Table 9) information shown below and on the proceeding page. If the problem cannot be remedied, please leave the unit just as it is and consult our company's business office or service plant. TABLE 9.
