MVC-64H/HW — GENERAL INFORMATION
Definition of Plate Compactor
The Mikasa MVC-64H/HW is a 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. Its applications include compacting
for road, embankments and reservoirs as well as backfilling for
gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable installation work.
The MVC-64H/HW is small and lightweight. It can be easily
handled by one person in confined areas. It has an accessible
front-mounted vibrator assembly. The sealed belt cover keeps
dir and rocks away from the belt.
Vibratory Plate
The vibratory plate of the compactor produces low amplitude
high frequency vibrations, designed to compact granular soils
and asphalt.
The resulting vibrations cause forward motion. The engine and
handle are vibration isolated from the vibrating plate.
Frequency/Speed
The compactor's vibrating plate has a frequency of 5,600 vpm
(vibrations per minute). The travel speed of the compactor is
approximately 82 ft./minute (25 meters/minute).
Engine
The Mikasa MVC-64H/HW Plate Compactor is equipped with a
Honda GX120K1SM12 gasoline engine.
Controls
Before starting the MVC-64H/HW Plate Compactor identify and
understand the function of the controls and components as

OFF
" position.
3. Place the
fuel valve lever
(Figure 11) in the "OFF" position.
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 cen-
trifugal clutch.
Always move the throttle lever
quickly without hesitation, because
increasing the engine speed slowly
causes the clutch to slip.
3. Firmly gasp the compactor's handle bar with both hands , the
compactor will begin moving forward.
4. 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.
5. Compactor traveling speed may drop on soils which contain
clay, however there may be cases where traveling speed
drops because the compaction plate does not leave the
ground surface easily due to the composition of the soil. To
rectify this problem do the following:
NOTE
z
Check the bottom plate to see if clay or equivalent
material has been lodged in the plate mechanism. If so,
wash with water and remove.
z
Remember the compactor does not work as efficiently
on clay or soils that have a high moisture content level.
z
If the soil has a high moisture level, dry soil to appropriate
moisture content level or carry out compaction twice.
NEVER stop the engine suddenly while working at high
speeds.
Caution - Stopping Engine
Stopping The Engine
Normal Shutdown
1. Move the throttle lever to the IDLE position (Figure 17) and
run the engine for three minutes at low speed.
Emergency Shutdown
1. Move the throttle lever quickly to the
SLOW
position, and
place the engine ON/OFF switch in the
OFF
position.
Operation
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.

Engine Oil Replacement:
1. Replace engine oil, in first 20 hours of operation and every
100 hours afterwards.
2. Oil may be drained more easily when it is warm after
operation (For more details, see separate HONDA Owner's
Manual).
3. When changing the engine oil, the old oil can be drained by
removing the oil filler cap, and unscrewing the engine oil
drain plug located at the base of the engine (Figure 16).
4. Remember to refill engine crankcase with the recommended
type of oil as listed in Table 4.
z
Check for leakage of fuel or oil.
z
Remove soil and clean the bottom of compaction plate.
z
Check engine oil, see page 16.
z
Check for loose screws including tightness. See Table 7
below (tightening torque ), for retightening:
Daily Service
Inspection and other services should
always
be carried out
on hard and level ground with the engine shut down.
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.
CAUTION - Inspection Intervals
