1. To check the V-belt tension, remove the three bolts that

secure the belt cover to the frame as shown in Figure 8.

3. A loose V-belt will decrease the power transmission output,

causing reduced compaction and premature wear of the

belt.

4. If the V-belt becomes worn or loose, replace it. See

maintenance section.

Vibrator Oil Check

1. Place the MVC98D2 plate compactor horizontally on a flat

surface. Make sure the compactor is level when checking the

oil in the vibrator assembly.

2. Check vibrator oil level by removing the plug (vibrator oil gauge)

as shown in Figure 10. The oil level should be up to the oil plug.

The vibrator holds 140 cc (approximately 4 oz.). IMPORTANT,

if oil is required, replace using only SAE10W-30 motor oil.
