Maintenance and Storage 

Maintaining your compactor will insure long life to the machine and its components. 

Preventive Maintenance 

1.  Turn off engine. Engine must be cool. 
2.  Keep the engine’s throttle lever in its SLOW position and remove spark plug wire from spark plug and 

secure. 

3.  Inspect the general condition of the plate compactor. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of 

moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. 

4.  Remove all debris from the plate compactor with a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air. Then use a 

premium quality lightweight machine oil to lubricate all moving parts. 

5.  Clean the bottom of the compactor base as soon as it begins to pick up soil being compacted. The unit 

cannot do a good job if the bottom surface is not smooth and clean. 

6.  Replace spark plug wire. 

Never use a “pressure washer” to clean your plate compactor. Water can penetrate tight areas of 

the unit and cause damage to spindles, pulleys, bearings, or the engine. The use of pressure 

washers will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability. 

Checking the V-Belts 

To ensure optimum power transmission from the engine to the eccentric shaft, the V-belt(s) must be in good 

condition and operate under proper tension. 
1.  Turn off engine. Engine must be cool. 
2.  Remove the belt guard to access the V-belt(s). 
3.  Check the condition of the V-belt(s). If any V-belt is cracked, frayed, or glazed, it should be replaced as soon 

as convenient. 

4.  Check the V-belt tension by squeezing them in the centre. The normal deflection on each side should be 

9mm (3/8” to 13mm (1/2” with moderate pressure from your thumb or finger. 

On new machines or after installing a new belt, check belt tension after first 20 hours of 

operation. Check and adjust belt every 50 hours thereafter.
