Introduction

MBW equipment is intended for use in very severe
applications.  They are powered by four cycle engines and
are available in different sizes and a selection of engines.

The MBW Reversible Plate Compactor is intended to
compact various soil types.  Recommended soil types
include granular soils, gravel/sand mixtures, and semi-
granular cohesive soils.

The MBW Reversible Plate Compactor is not recommended
for use in cohesive soils nor for very hard surfaces such as
concrete or asphalt.

This parts manual contains only standard parts.  Variations
of these parts as well as other special parts are not included.
Contact your local MBW distributor for assistance in
identifying parts not included in this manual.

Before Starting & Operating

After receiving your new MBW Inc. Reversible Plate

Compactor, inspect it for any visible damage done during
shipment.  Make sure the engine throttle works properly.
Contact your nearest MBW Inc. Distributor if there are any
problems.  

Your new MBW Inc. Reversible Plate Compactor is

shipped complete and ready for use.

• REMEMBER! It is the owner’s responsibility to

communicate information on the safe use and proper
operation of this unit to the operators.

• Review ALL of the Safety Precautions listed on page 1 of

this manual.

• Familiarize yourself with the operation of the machine

and confirm that all controls function properly.

• Know how to STOP the machine in case of an

emergency.

• Make sure hands, feet, and clothing are at a safe

distance from any moving parts.

• OIL LEVEL - Check the oil level in the engine.  For more

information see “Lubrication” under the respective
engine’s “Owners Manual” or the Maintenance section of
this manual.

• AIR CLEANER - Check to ensure element is in good

condition and properly installed.

• FUEL SUPPLY - The engines on MBW Inc. compaction

equipment require an automotive grade of clean, fresh,

diesel fuel or unleaded gasoline dependent on engine
type.  (See Engine “Owner’s Manual”)

• FUEL FILTER - If clogged or damaged, replace.

Engine

Refer to the engine manual for location of all controls and
features.

Starting Gasoline Engine

1.

Open fuel valve.

2.

Turn engine switch to “ON” position.

3.

Set throttle to idle position.

4.

Choke engine if necessary (you may not need to
choke a warm engine).

5.

Pull starter rope repeatedly until engine starts.

6.

Move choke lever to off or open position.

7.

Allow engine to warm up for one or two minutes.

Starting Diesel Engine

For detailed instructions refer to the engine Manual.

1.

When starting the engine, the throttle lever on the
handle must be in the idle position.

2.

The engine has an automatic decompression
system, however it is recommended to slowly pull the
starter rope until you feel a slight resistance.  Let the
starter rope recoil completely and pull the starter rope
quickly.

3.

Let the engine warm up in the idle position for one or
two minutes.

Operating

1.

After the engine warms up, fully open throttle.

2.

The compactor will begin vibrating and moving in a
forward direction. 

Never leave compactor idling

unattended.

3.

The MBW Reversible Plate Compactor is designed to
shift into forward automaticly when control lever is
released.  The number of passes needed to reach the
compaction level desired will depend on soil type and
moisture.  Maximum compaction of the soil has been
reached when excessive kickback is noticed in the
compactor.
