MQ-MIKASA MVH-402GHB PLATE COMPACTOR — OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (12/17/03) — PAGE 13

MVH-402GHB — FEATURES

Plate Compactor

The Mikasa MVH-402GHB is a walk-behind, reversible plate

compactor designed for the compaction of sand, clay 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. Its applications include

soil compacting for road, embankments and reservoirs as well

as backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable

installation work.

Vibratory Plates

The vibratory plates of the MVH-402GHB produce low amplitude

high frequency vibrations, designed to compact granular soils.

The resulting vibrations cause forward motion. The engine and

handle are vibration isolated from the vibrating plate. The heavier

the plate, the more compaction force it generates.

Reversible Vibratory Plates

Reversible vibratory plates have two eccentric weights that allow

a smooth transition for forward and reverse travel, plus increased

compaction force as the result of dual weights.

Due to their weight and force, reversible plates are ideal for

semi-cohesive soils.

Frequency/Speed

The compactor's vibrating plate maximum frequency is 4200

vpm (vibrations per minute). The forward and reverse travel speed

of the compactor is approximately 75.5 ft./minute (23 meters/

minute).

Engine

The Mikasa MVH-402GHB Plate Compactor is equipped with a

HONDA GX390K1 gasoline engine.

Controls

Before starting the MVH-402GHB Plate Compactor, identify and

understand the function of the controls and components as

indicated in Figure 3.

PAGE 14 — MQ-MIKASA MVH-402GHB PLATE COMPACTOR — OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (12/17/03)

MVH-402GHB — OPERATION

1. Grasp the compactor's hand grip and move the engine

throttle lever (Figure 15) 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 cen-

trifugal clutch.

Figure 15. Throttle Lever ((Fast)

ALWAYS move the throttle lever

quickly without hesitation, because

increasing the engine speed slowly

causes the clutch to slip.

NOTE

3. To make the compactor move in the forward direction push

the travel lever ( Figure 16) forward.

6. Slowly walk behind the compactor and be on the lookout for

any large objects or foreign matter that might cause damage

to the compactor or bodily injury.

7. If travel lever is placed in the neutral position, the machine will

vibrate in place.

8. To move the compactor laterally, hold the hand grip firmly and

swing compactor. Do not swing compactor while gripping the

travel lever.

Stopping

1. Return the throttle lever to the START position. Allow

the machine to cool down for 2 to 3 minutes.
