GENERAL INFORMATION
DEFINITION OF PLATE COMPACTOR
The Mikasa MVCe64V is a walk-behind, one-way 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 soil compacting for road, embankments
and reservoirs as well as backfilling for gas pipelines, water
pipelines and cable installation work.
The upper section of the plate compactor consists of the DC
power unit, handle, guard hook, and belt cover.The lower
section of the plate compactor consists of the vibrating plate
and vibrator unit that has an eccentric rotor in vibrating case.
VIBRATORY PLATES
The vibratory plates produce 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.
The heavier the plate, the more compaction force it
generates.
FREQUENCY/SPEED
The compactor's vibrating plate has a frequency of 5,600
vpm (vibrations per minute).
DC POWER UNIT
The plate compactor is equipped with a Honda GXE2.OH
3-phase brushless DC motor.
BATTERY and BATTERY CHARGER
THE MVCE64V uses a Honda DP72104Z rechargeable
lithium ion battery and a Honda DV7285Z battery charger.
WATER TANK
An optional water tank can be used with this compactor.
The tank provides lubrication to the base plate when
compacting asphalt and may be used for dust control in
dry work environments.

INSPECTION
BEFORE STARTING
1. Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual.
2. Clean the compactor, removing dirt and dust.
3. Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If air filter is dirty,
replace air filter with a new one as required.
4. Check fastening nuts and bolts for tightness. Loosened
screws or bolts due to vibration, could lead to
unexpected accident.
5. Make sure that the guard hook, belt cover and shock
absorbers are not damaged. If they are damaged,
replace new ones.
6. Replace any missing or damaged safety and operation
decals.
VIBRATOR OIL CHECK
1. To check the oil level, place the plate compactor on a
level surface with the power off.
2. Remove the oil plug and visually check the oil level
(Figure 3).
Figure 3. Oil Check
3. If the oil level is low, fill up to the oil plug with the
recommended oil type (Table 7). Maximum oil capacity
is 0.148 quarts (0.14 liters).
