3.CAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE TO SECURE SAFETY
Do not work indoor or inside a tunnel where ventilation is poor. The emission from the
engine contains toxic gas such as carbon monoxide, and it is very dangerous if this
toxic gas and dust are inhaled. Also, to improve ventilation, please keep a proper
distance between this machine and a building when operating the machine.
Maintenance should be done in a place with a flat and hard surface to keep the
machine stable. Also, do maintenance at sufficient work space.
Before maintenance work, clean the floor. Oil on the floor, in particular, becomes the
cause of falling accident.
For maintenance work, have sufficient lighting in the work site. A portable lamp used to
illuminate the work area has to be protected by wire. In case if the lamp is broken, fuel
and oil might ignite.
To prepare for an accident, please have emergency medical supplies and fire
extinguisher ready at an easily accessible area.

To work safely, wear work clothes of appropriate size, and use suitable protective gear
such as helmet and safety shoes. The work clothes that do not fit the body size might
result in unpredicted injury because the clothes easily get caught by rotating part of the
machine.
When adding fuel
If fuel is filled to the top, it might overflow, and is dangerous.
After refueling, securely tighten the tank cap.
Start your work after the machine temperature drops. Especially, the muffler gets very
hot, and it will pose a danger of burn accident. Also, engine and engine oil as well as
vibrator become hot. Be careful not to get a burn.
If maintenance work is started with the engine running, injury might occur because you
might get caught by the rotating part such as pulley and V-belt. Always stop the engine
before maintenance.
When lifting the machine body and the engine, always use a crane. When lifting the
machine and the engine, follow the cautions listed below. If the machine or the engine
is dropped, a serious accident might occur.
To operate a crane, a crane handling qualification is required. Have someone qualified
to handle and operate a crane do this work.
Before lifting, check the parts (especially, hook and anti-vibration rubber) of this
machine for damage and loosening/lack of bolts to secure safety.
Before lifting, stop the engine and shut the fuel cock.
Use sufficiently strong wire rope.
For lifting, use only the lifting hook. Do not use other part for lifting.
Never allow anyone or any animal come under the lifted machine.
For safety, do not lift to the height more than necessary.
Use an appropriate tool. If the tool that is not suitable for the part is used, not only the
damage on the part, but also unpredicted accident might occur.
Always use genuine parts.
If inappropriate parts are used, not only it will shorten the machine life, but it might lead
to unpredicted accident.
Always refuel in the well ventilated area.
Always refuel after the engine stopped and cooled sufficiently.
Select a flat surface location away from flammable material and Do not overfill
the tank. If spilled fuel, wipe it off well.
Never put fire near the refueling area. (Never refuel while smoking.)

5.INSPECTION BEFORE OPERATION
Set the machine on a level surface, then
remove the oil gauge of the vibrator. Check
the oil gauge to see if the oil is at the speci-
fied level. Use engine oil SAE10W-30 as
lubrication oil.
Remove the drain plug in Vibrator Assembly
and check the oil level. Make sure the oil
quantity is set at level of plug hole for check-
ing. Every month or every 200 hours of op-
eration, replace the oil.
A regular grade gasoline should be used in
the engine. When filling the fuel tank, make
sure the fuel filter is used.
Never refuel this machine while leaving the
engine running. There is danger of fire.
Never smoke, or put other flames close to
this machine while refueling. Serious haz-
ards such as burns and fire may result.
Choose a place free from flammable sub-
stances for refueling. Be careful not to spill
fuel. In case fuel should be spilled, wipe off
the spilled fuel completely.
Clean each part of the machine well to main-
tain dirt and dust-free condition. Pay special
attention to the soil adhered to the bottom of
the vibrating plate, engine cooling air inlet,
and the carburetor and air cleaner area to
keep those parts clean.
Check each part for any looseness of bolts.
Vibration causes bolts & nuts to loosen,
which might result in unexpected accident or
malfunction.
Inspect the guard hook, belt cover and an-
ti-vibration rubber, as well as to check the
function of speed adjustment wire and
speed adjusting lever.
Check V-belt tension. The belt should have
about 10 – 15mm of flexibility when pushed
strongly with a finger at the mid-point be-
tween the axes. If V-belt is loosened, power
is not transmitted well, which reduces com-
pacting force and shortens the life of V-belt.
In addition, the generated compaction force
will lead to irregular vibrations when the
engine revolutions are increased, and may
result in a machine failure.
Set the engine on a level surface to check
the oil level. If the oil level is low, add oil.
Use the following engine oil.

Disassembly and assembly of this machine, with inspection and change of vibrator oil included,
should be done on a horizontal surface area. Before disassembly and assembly, understand well
the normal assembly condition so that you will not make assembly error.
If oil seal, gasket, packing, O-ring or lock washer is disassembled, replace it with a new one each
time.
The contact surface between vibrating case and vibrator cover should be sealed with Packing or
O-ring. (Clean the contact surface and be careful about O-ring position when assembling.)
Apply Liquid Gasket (Three bond 1215 or equivalent) on the each side of packing of Case Cover.
When tightening bolts and nuts, tighten them according to the specified standard torque and
applying the screw lock agent (Loctite, etc.). For bolts and nuts with no specification, refer to the
“Tightening torque list”. (When applying screw lock agent, degrease and clean the screw part with
the brake cleaner, etc.)
Note) The bolts used on this machine are all of the right hand thread.
When disassembling and assembling, work in the maintenance shop without dirt and dust.
When the bolts applied the screw lock agent (Loctite, etc.) are difficult to loosen, they loosen
easily by heating them with a torch burner. Then, replace the heated bolt with a new one. It
should be a specified high tension bolt (genuine parts).
Use correct tools correctly.

8.2 Opening Engine Oil 8.3 Changing Air Cleaner

Checking V-belt
Remove the belt cover and check that
V-belt is properly stretched every 200 hours.
Press on the portion midway between the
two shafts with your fingers strongly. The
belt is properly stretched if that portion bows
by about 10-15 mm.
Checking the clutch
Inspect Clutch concurrently with the inspec-
tion of V-belt. Check visually for burning of
each clutch-shoe. Check for wear the lining
shoe or the like, in the operation check. If
the shoe wears, power transmission is not
performed properly and Clutch slips. Check
wear or any damage to V-groove also. If
V-groove is stained, clean it thoroughly.
Checking Bolt, Engine
The part of Bolt, Engine is made of rubber
material, of which the inferiority like fatigue
or worn leads V-belt tension low. Whenever
checking V-belt, inspect this part for the
reason as well as Shock Absorbing Rubber.
(Fig.4)

8.4 Checking/Changing V-belt and Clutch
Make this machine level, and remove the oil
level plug off the vibrator. Check that vibra-
tor oil is provided up to the mouth level. The
oil level plug is on the right side of the vibra-
tor case (opposite to the belt side). (Refer to
Fig.1 on page 5.)
Use the engine oil #10W-30 for vibrator oil.
Refer to page 8 for the amount. Drain the
vibrator oil completely by removing the plug
and tilting the body once a month or every
200 hours’ operation. Replace with new oil.
Replace immediately when it was found the
wear, deformation or degradation of elastic
rubber material, which may cause V-belt
come off or the engine to vibration damage
directly and excessively. ( Fig.4 )
8.6 Inspection and Change of Engine Bolt
8.5 Inspection and Change of Vibrator Oil
When the vibration weakens during op-
eration, or this machine does not
vibrate at all though the engine rotates
normally, conduct the inspection or
change of the V-belt and clutch without
regard to the regular inspection of
every 200 hours.
Always stop the engine before inspec-
tion and adjustment. If you are caught
in a rotating part, serious injury might
occur.
