MVH-200DA PLATE COMPACTOR — OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (03/21/05) — PAGE 13
MVH-200DA — FEATURES
Plate Compactor
The Mikasa MVH-200DA 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-200DA 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 5200
vpm (vibrations per minute). The forward and reverse travel speed
of the compactor is approximately 75 ft./minute (23 meters/
minute).
Engine
The Mikasa MVH-200DA Plate Compactor is equipped with an
air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder YANMAR L70EE-DVMK
diesel engine.
Controls
Before starting the MVH-200DA Plate Compactor, identify and
understand the function of the controls and components as
indicated in Figure 3.

Figure 4. Engine Controls and Components
The engine shown above is a
YANMAR L70EE- DVMK
engine
(Figure 4). The engine must be checked for proper lubrication
and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturer’s
engine manual for instructions and details of operation and
servicing. Each component is described below:
1. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded
gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened
securely. DO NOT over fill.
Operating the engine without
an air filter, with a damaged
air filter, or a filter in need of
replacement will allow dirt to
enter the engine, causing
rapid engine wear.
Adding fuel to the tank should be done only
when the engine is stopped and has had an
opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel
spill, DO NOT attempt to start the engine until
the fuel residue has been completely wiped
up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry.
NOTE
CAUTION - Fueling The Engine

3. Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering
the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter
cannister to gain access to filter element.
4. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.
5. Recoil Starting Handle (pull rope) – Type of engine
starting method.
2. Fuel Tank Capacity is 3.5 quarts (3.31 liters) of diesel
fuel.
6. Recoil Starter– Manual-starting method. Pull the starter
grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and smoothly.
7. Oil Filler Cap / Dipstick – Remove this cap to add oil to the

1. Grasp the compactor's hand grip and move the throttle lever
(Figure 12) quickly to the
fast
position. The compactor will not
operate correctly until the engine speed is high enough to
engage the centrifigal clutch (approximately 2300 RPMs).
Always move the throttle lever
quickly without hesitation,
because increasing the engine
speed slowly causes the clutch
to slip.

NOTE
2. To make the compactor travel forward, push the travel lever
forward (Figure 13). To make the compactor travel backward,
pull the travel lever back (Figure 13).
To Turn The Compactor:
1. Move the
travel lever
to the NEUTRAL position.
2. Hold the hand grip firmly and turn the compactor in the desired
direction. DO NOT swing compactor while gripping the travel
lever.
5. 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.
6. If travel lever is placed in the neutral position, the machine will
vibrate in place.
Whenever the compactor's vibra-
tion becomes weak or lost during
normal operation, regardless of
operation hours, check the V-belt
and clutch immediately.
NOTE
Emergency Shutdown Procedure:
1. Move the throttle lever quickly to the STOP
position
(Figure 11).

These inspection intervals are for
operation under normal conditions.
Adjust your inspection intervals
based on the number hours plate
compactor is in use, and particular
working conditions. Fuel piping and
connections should be replaced
every 2 years.
Inspection and other services should
always
be carried out
on hard and level ground with the engine shutdown.
