purchased due to design changes.
2. Applications, Warnings,
Structure and Power Transmission
Applications
Plate compactor is the machine that compacts the ground and it intends to make the surface smooth, by transmit-
ting vibration through vibrating plate, which power generated from single rotor in vibrator case.
This machine is suitable for making the ground surface smooth, such as leveling the soil and beaching, finishing
the asphalt paving.
Warning about incorrect applications and techniques
This machine is hard to move forward on a soil with much water (especially clay soil). It is not suitable for such
application. This machine is difficult to level a ground include big stones due to insufficient compacting force. Plate
compactor is mainly applied for compacting surface smooth and it is not effective for jobs that requires heavy
compaction. In case of compacting ground deeply into lower layer, it is recommended to use Tamping Rammer,
Vibro Compactor or Vibration Roller of which compacting force is rather effective. Please use this compactor for
compacting surface on soil, sediment, beaching and asphalt. It is not recommended for use this machine for the
other applications.
Structure
The upper part is made up of Power source, Handle, Belt Cover, Water Tank for sprinkling and Guard Hook which
are fixed by Engine Base. The Engine base is fixed on Vibrating Plate by Shock Absorbing Rubber. The lower part
is made up of Vibrating Plate and Vibrator Unit that has an Eccentric rotary shaft built in. The power source is
transmitted from the centrifugal clutch on engine output shaft to the Eccentric rotary shaft through V-belt.
Power transmission
Air-cooled Single Cylinder Engine is amounted as power source and Centrifugal Clutch is fixed on engine output
shaft.
Centrifugal Clutch engages by running up the engine and engine R.P.M. is reduced to suitable number for
compacting. The rotation of engine is transmitted from V-pulley integrated with Clutch Drum to Vibrator Pulley
through V-belt.
Vibrator Pulley rotates Eccentric Rotor Shaft that is contained in Vibrator Case. The generated vibration created
from Eccentric Rotor is transmitted to Vibrating Plate.
Vibration of Vibrating Plate carries the machine forward; the vibration with the weight of the machine makes the
compaction of the ground possible.

䕿
Do not operate the machine,
Read this manual carefully and handle the machine as described to ensure safe
work.
For details about the engine, refer to the separate manual for the engine.
Make sure you understand the structure of the machine well.
For safe work, always wear protective gear (helmets, safety shoes, ear plugs,
etc.) and work in appropriate clothes.
Always check the machine before your work to make sure it is in normal
condition.
Decals on the machine (operation method labels, warning labels, etc.) are very
important for your safety. Keep the machine clean so that the decals can be read
all the time. Replace a decal if it becomes illegible.
Before performing maintenance work, be sure to turn the engine off.
It is very dangerous if children come into close contact with the machine. Have
the utmost concern about how and where to store the machine. In particular, for
an engine with a cell, always remove the starter key and keep it in a designated
place.
Before inspection and maintenance work, stop the engine, and do your work on
a flat surface area. If a cell is attached, remove the battery wiring before your
work.
Mikasa does not accept any responsibility for accidents caused by remodeling or
rework done on the machine.
When adding fuel,
Do not fill to the rim due to potential spillage.
After adding the fuel, tightly close the tank cap.
䕿㻌Make sure you work in a well ventilated location.
䕿㻌Make sure the engine is stopped and wait until it cools down.
䕿㻌Take the machine to a clear flat location without any combustibles nearby.
Be careful not to spill the fuel. Wipe well if any spill occurs.

4.3 Location and Ventilation Precautions
4.4 Precautions Before Starting
4.5 Precautions During Work
Do not run the machine in an unventilated location, such as indoors or inside a
tunnel. The exhaust gas from the engine contains toxic gases such as carbon
monoxide and is very hazardous.
Do not operate the machine near open flames.
Check each part to see if it is tightened properly. Vibration causes loosening of
bolts, which results in unexpected serious malfunctions of the machine. Tighten
the bolts securely.
Before starting the machine, make sure it is safe to start by checking your
surroundings for people and objects.
Always pay attention to your footing. Work in an area where you can maintain a
good balance of the machine and a safe comfortable posture.
The engine and muffler become very hot. Do not touch immediately after the
machine stops because they are still very hot.
If you notice deterioration of machine operation during your work, stop your work
immediately.
Before moving away from the machine, be sure to turn the engine off. Also when
the machine is transported, stop the engine and close the fuel cock.

4.8 Maintenance Precautions
Appropriate maintenance is required to ensure safe and efficient operation of the
machine. Always pay attention to the machine’s condition and keep it in good
condition. Pay special attention to the parts used for lifting, if they are not
maintained properly, it might result in a serious accident.
Start maintenance work after the machine has cooled down completely. The
muffler, in particular, becomes very hot, and there is a danger of burn. The
engine, engine oil and vibrator also become very hot. Be careful not to get
burned.
Always stop the engine before inspection and adjustment. If you are caught in a
rotating part, serious injury might occur.
After maintenance work, check the security parts to see if they are securely
installed. Special attention should be paid when checking bolts and nuts.
If disassembly is involved in maintenance, refer to the maintenance instruction
manual to make your work safe.

7. Inspection Before Operation
Clean each part of the machine well to maintain 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 anti-vibration
rubber, as well as to check the function of speed adjust-
ment 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 between the axes. If V-belt is loosened,
power is not transmitted well, which reduces compact-
ing 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.
Quality: Diesel engine oil, Grade CC or above
Gasoline engine oil, Grade SE or above
Viscosity: SAE No. 30 at 20°C and above (summer)

Conduct inspection while the engine is stopped.
If you get caught in the rotating parts, you may
suffer serious damage. Conduct inspection after
making this machine level and checking that the
body does not move.
Refer to the "Regular Check and Adjustments"
on page 17 for the inspection points before start-
ing 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 specified level. Use engine oil SAE10W-30
as lubrication oil.
Recommended oil quantity for MVC-F60/F70/F80/F82
is 140cc and MVC-88/98D, 200cc.
Remove the oil plug in Vibrator Assembly and check
the oil level. Make sure the oil quantity is set at level of
plug hole for checking. Every month or every 200 hours
of operation, replace the oil.
A regular grade gasoline or diesel oil 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 hazards such as
burns and fire may result.
Choose a place free from flammable substances
for refueling. Be careful not to spill fuel. In case fuel
should be spilled, wipe off the spilled fuel
completely.
Pour water into the water tank for sprinkling work.
Note: Pour water only. If you should put liquids
other than water, the resin, tank cap seal, etc. may
deteriorate or swell, leading to leakage or damage.
The water tank can be removed by pulling it upward.
When mounting the water tank again, insert the hook
into the groove of the water tank securely. The amount
of sprinkling water can be adjusted by the cock.

Grip the starting knob of the recoil starter. When you
pull the rope a little, you will feel some resistance.
Then pull it at a stroke. Be careful not to pull the rope
too strongly, or the rope may break or come off.
(Fig.8-1 & 8-2)
When the engine has started, return the speed control
lever to the low speed position immediately. Listening
to the sound of the explosion, return the choke lever
gradually to the fully open condition. (Fig.9-1 & 9-2)
After the start, be sure to conduct the warm-up
operation at low speed for 2-5 minutes. This is
particularly important when it is cold. During this time,
check for any abnormalities such as gas leakage.
Note: If you leave the speed control lever
half-open, the centrifugal clutch turns into a
slipped state. This may cause a failure of the
centrifugal clutch, and also cause abnormal
vibration of this machine, which is very
dangerous. So, as soon as the engine has
started, return the speed control lever to the
low-speed position.
